Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) and undisputed world lightweight champion Devin Haney (30-0, 15 KOs) are close to signing a contract with the Saudi promotional organization Skill Challenge Promotions.

The Bronze Bomber has already agreed on the financial terms of the December battle with Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs), which is to be held in Saudi Arabia. In the near future, boxers should receive official proposals on this matter and contracts for the fight.

Haney became a free agent after a recent win over Vasily Lomachenko, and the American is currently in talks with several promoters. Top Rank offers the boxer a rematch with Lomachenko and a duel with Teofimo Lopez, while Matchroom Boxing wants to bring Haney to Regis Prograis.

Oleksandr Usyk recently signed a contract with Skill Challenge Promotions. The company is also pursuing the career of WBC cruiserweight champion Badu Jack.
