Saudi Arabia put together the lucrative Fury vs Ngannou bout to mark the start of the Riyadh Season. And while the decision was a very controversial subject in the sport, Saudi Arabia were the biggest winners. The event had boxing fans from all over the world talking about the fight. And it appears they are now ready for more.
Unofficial Boxing Card: Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Otto Wallin and More on Same Card
Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and others to feature on the same card?
According to EverythingBoxing on X, the event will take place on December 23 and will feature a bunch of exciting heavyweight clashes. Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin, Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker, and Daniel Dubois vs Jarrell Miller are some of the big heavyweight names on the potential card.
Light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol will also face Richard Rivera on the card. Undefeated and highly rated Jai Opetaia will also feature on the card. However, he still doesn’t have an opponent. Other exciting names like Frank Sanchez, Arslanbek Makhmudov, and Filip Hrgovic will also compete on the card.
EverythingBoxing also confirmed that there will be a press conference tomorrow to officially announce the event. Moreover, they said it will be a co-promotion between the likes of Queensberry Promotions, Matchroom Boxing, and others.
However, the date is an interesting choice. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will also reportedly face each other on December 23. However, there is no mention of the two being on this card. Thus, it will be something to keep an eye out for during the announcement.
