EXCLUSIVE: Eddie Hearn confirms Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder is 'locked in' for December
Ultimately, AJ proved his superiority with a seventh-round KO, but was undoubtedly shaken by his rival's left hook in round two.
"That’s why it’s so dangerous," Hearn added, "You’ve got that Deontay Wilder fight in December, he could have just waited."He wants a fight he can get excited about." Pushed to clarify if Joshua vs Wilder will happen regardless of the result of the Whyte fight, the promoter answered: "No. We’ve been told categorically that the deal on the table is not the deal if he loses to Dillian Whyte."It was almost like, ‘Please, don’t fight Dillian Whyte. You don’t need to. We’ve got this fight in December.'"If he wins on August 12, he’ll go into the Deontay Wilder fight with loads of momentum and again adding to that incredible CV.
