Wilder and Joshua agree to a fight

Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua have agreed terms for a heavyweight unification bout, which will take place at a British venue later this year, ESPN reported. Shelly Finkel, one of Wilder’s co-managers, told ESPN that World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Wilder had accepted an offer by Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn for a fight in autumn.

“We have agreed to the terms that Eddie has put out to us for a fight in the UK,” Wilder was quoted by ESPN as saying. (AFP)
