Saturday night in Saudi Arabia gives us the biggest and deepest boxing card in many years as Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder top that ‘Day of Reckoning’ show.
Joshua faces Swede Otto Wallin while Wilder locks horns with former WBO heavyweight king Joseph Parker. If both avoid defeat they will then meet other in an enormous superfight – again in Saudi – on March 9, 2024.
