The IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will sign a new agreement with promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. The contract will prolong for three years and will cost more than $135 million.

Eddie Hearn wants to organize Anthony Joshua's fight with Deontay Wilder, so such an extension of the contract will in fact mean Joshua's content to the fight. In case this transaction does not take place, then Joshua will meet the WBA and WBO mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin.
