Representatives of Saudi Arabia are in London and will watch the fight Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) in the ringside. If the Brit beats Robert Helenius (32-4, 21 KOs), as planned, they will hold the last round of negotiations for a fight with Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs).
This information was confirmed by Eddie Hearn, AJ's promoter and organizer of tonight's boxing event at the O2 Arena. Malik Scott, Wilder's trainer and friend, is also in the English capital.
“The fight between Joshua and Wilder just has to happen. History cannot repeat itself when there was no Bowie-Lewis fight. In boxing, we can never be sure, but I think Joshua's fight with Wilder in January is very close. Negotiations are almost complete,” Scott said.
