Anthony Joshua recently grabbed headlines for his £2000 splurge on a ‘darkness retreat.’ Little did the limelight fade from that, he announced an exciting news. It is no news that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, who together hold all four major heavyweight titles, recently agreed to fight. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua has long wanted to fight Deontay Wilder, who also wants the match.

Eddie Hearn, who promotes Joshua, revealed that negotiations for a fight in Saudi Arabia have hit a roadblock. They are now looking at alternative locations for a match in February or March. Joshua recently suggested that his fight with Wilder might be a secondary event to the Usyk vs. Fury bout. As for Fury, also known as ‘The Gypsy King,’ he gave a rather dismissive response when asked for his prediction.
