Eddie Hearn is likely to have a busy 2024 with Amthony Joshua if the former heavyweight champion gets past Otto Wallin on December 23.
Joshua faces the durable Swede on a stacked card in Saudi Arabia that also features Deontay Wilder and if the longtime rivals both win, it’s likely they could meet next year.
As well as facing Wilder, Joshua will also be a keen observer when Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk meet in February for all the belts.
The Watford man will be eager to test himself against the winner and there’s also the possibility of fighting Francis Ngannou.
Hearn has provided some information on a possible bout with the former UFC superstar, who pushed Fury close in October.
“I reached out to Francis Ngannou’s team, and I said, ‘Just to let you know, we’re up for discussing the Francis Ngannou [vs.] AJ fight.’ I never heard back from them,” said Hearn when speaking on The MMA Hour.
“So, I think probably, knowing the business, I would say that probably Fury-Ngannou is almost probably agreed to, post Fury-[Oleksandr] Usyk, already.”
