Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder schedule, date, time, venue, full fight card, & purse payouts
Deontay Wilder announced the scheduling of a major heavyweight bout with Anthony Joshua. For this showdown to happen, both Wilder and Joshua need to triumph over Joseph Parker and Otto Wallin, respectively, in their matches this weekend in Saudi Arabia. Named the ‘Day of Reckoning,’ the upcoming event on Saturday is a component of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh season, supported by the substantial financial resources of its organizers.
This marks Joshua’s third bout in the country, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he were to return to Saudi Arabia for a match against Wilder. These two fighters have been heading toward a collision ever since they collectively held the four world titles. Now, their potential matchup could determine Tyson Fury’s next challenger.
The fight is set to take place on March 9 in Saudi Arabia, just three weeks after Fury confronts Oleksandr Usyk in their undisputed bout in the Middle East. Notably, the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh is the anticipated location for the Joshua versus Wilder fight, scheduled to be part of the Day of Reckoning card. Despite both Joshua and Wilder having extensive careers as world champions, their upcoming match in March will not be for a title.
In a recent interview broadcasted on December 14, Joshua boldly conveyed his excitement about a showdown with Wilder in 2024. Although it’s highly probable that it will be accessible on DAZN PPV, the official broadcaster remains unconfirmed. Till now, the specifics about the tickets are unknown. Deontay Wilder suggested that he stands to make an impressive $50 million if he defeats Joseph Parker and goes on to face Anthony Joshua.
