In the high-stakes world of heavyweight boxing, Anthony Joshua‘s next move is drawing significant attention. Recently, Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn were spotted in a crucial meeting with Turki Alalshikh, a prominent figure in Saudi Arabia’s sporting landscape. Alalshikh, as the Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, is known for orchestrating grand-scale sporting events, making this meeting more than just a routine engagement.
Initially, fans hoped for a Joshua-Wilder face-off, but Hearn is steering that potential matchup to March or April, with a possibility of further delays. The choice of network for the U.S. PPV broadcast remains undecided, but with Joshua’s association with DAZN, it emerges as a likely platform. This event, if it comes to fruition, promises to be a significant highlight in the boxing calendar.
The world of heavyweight boxing is on the cusp of potentially thrilling developments. The speculated PPV event on December 23rd in Saudi Arabia, headlined by the likes of Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and Dmitry Bivol, promises to be a marquee moment in the sport.
