Trainer Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) Malik Scott confirmed in an interview with IFL TV that Saudi Arabia would host a heavyweight tournament in December.

“I can say that these reports are true, and these big fights will take place - not only with our participation, but also with the participation of top heavyweights,” said the Bronze Bomber coach.

According to talkSPORT journalist Michael Benson some time ago, Wilder will face Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs).

“Deontay wants this fight. Let's see what AJ does now, the ball is on his side. We are ready,” Scott said.
