Eddie Hearn’s says he is sure the fight with Wilder will happen this year. Joshua will have one fight in Summer, and the other against Wilder in December. Only 9 more months until Joshua is unified champion of the world, and the first to unify all six belts. WBO, WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO and Ring Magazine. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/b...hua-Deontay-Wilder-fight-date-Eddie-Hearn/amp
Eddie's word means about as much to me as the IBO belt if I'm honest. If it does turn out to be true though I just hope Joshua takes care of Povetkin in the summer and not Miller. Would stink if the undisputed champion (whomever that may eventually be) was immediately stripped due to a long list of overdue mandatories. Sasha is a far better test, more deserving than Miller and should get his shot before he turns 40.
This has been Hearn's plan for a while now nothing new here. Question is will Wilder accept the terms Hearn offers or will he price himself out. Hopefully it happens and Joshua faces povetkin instead of Miller in the interim.
