Boxing fans across the globe are currently on the edge of their seats, lured by the sweet smell of anticipation. The heavyweight division is stirring with talks of a historic super card, a grand spectacle that could amass a staggering $400 million. Promoter Eddie Hearn recently dropped a bomb in an interview, hinting at a colossal double showdown. As Michael Benson reported, “Eddie Hearn has said it’s his understanding that Deontay Wilder has “pretty much a deal in place” with the Saudis for the Anthony Joshua fight in December. He previously said he’s expecting the Saudis to make their formal offer to AJ this week.”

As if the reports of potential Fury vs Usyk clash for the super card event weren’t intoxicating enough, Hearn also suggested a tantalizing side dish: a Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua bout. If all goes according to plan, the Middle East might just host the most expensive fight night in the history of boxing. But the question remains, is the boxing world ready for such a seismic shift?

First up, a boxing commentary account, Dictionary of Isaac Lowe, seized on Hearn’s assertion, pointing the spotlight towards Anthony Joshua.
