Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are set to fight in 2024 under one condition.
Amidst the impending ‘Day of Reckoning’ boxing spectacle in Riyadh, it has been reported that both Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder have reached an agreement to formalize their pre-existing deal.
Earlier indications had suggested hesitancy on their part, hinting that they might refrain from committing to the bout if either suffered a loss in their upcoming matches.
However, in a Substack feature, boxing journalist Dan Rafael has divulged comprehensive details about the agreement. According to his revelations, fans can anticipate an extensive clash between Joshua and Wilder in 2024. Additionally, Rafael notes that the contractual formalities are slated to be concluded before the commencement of the Saturday event, potentially during the Friday gala in Riyadh that precedes the highly anticipated boxing extravaganza.

The fate of the upcoming showdown between Joshua and Wilder hinges on the outcomes of their respective matches on the “Day of Reckoning” mega card scheduled for this Saturday.
Both fighters face formidable opponents in these bouts, with Deontay Wilder taking on Joseph Parker and Anthony Joshua stepping into the ring against Otto Wallin in the same event.
The agreement for their much-anticipated clash is contingent on both emerging victorious from these challenging matchups, according to Rafael.
The Wilder vs. Joshua bout is anticipated to be a colossal showdown, with the potential to outshine the box office appeal of the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk fight. While Fury and Usyk battle for the undisputed heavyweight titles, their clash is expected to include a rematch clause, adding an extra layer of significance to their encounter, thesportster.com.
