The potential double bill has already been labeled as a &#8220;mega card,&#8221; although is yet to be officially confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>The fight night\u00a0comes amid Fury and Usyk&#8217;s heavyweight bout that was agreed\u00a0in October. The pair will compete for the\u00a0undisputed title &#8211; with\u00a0Fury being the current holder of the WBC belt, and Usyk holding the\u00a0WBA, WBO and IBF titles &#8211; and after Fury has fought Francis Ngannou.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua is scheduled to fight Wilder having recently defeated\u00a0Robert Helenius and\u00a0Jermaine Franklin this year. Wilder is the obvious opponent for the\u00a0former\u00a0two-time\u00a0unified\u00a0world\u00a0heavyweight\u00a0champion, with the American last competing\u00a0in October 2022 where he also fought, and defeated,\u00a0Helenius.<\/p>\n<p>Reports that all four fighters could compete on the same night come following a recent admission from Joshua.\u00a0&#8220;They want to put Usyk-Fury, Joshua-Wilder on the same night. That might not happen until April,&#8221; Joshua said, speaking ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/102\/590x\/secondary\/5026893.jpg?r=1698003008951\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Fury gets [through] Ngannou, it is going to be late October, early November, so I doubt he will now prepare of Usyk and fight in December, it&#8217;s too short,&#8221; Joshua added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the next window will probably be in March-April, so that&#8217;s probably when the undisputed fight will potentially happen. Then obviously what we are being told is they want to make it a mega card and they like the sound of Joshua v Wilder on the same card as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before any such bout, Fury will have to face former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou first. The pair will touch gloves on Oct. 28 in\u00a0Riyadh in a bout that will not go towards either fighter&#8217;s records.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Mike Tyson says prison was \u2018best three years of my life\u2019 after rape conviction[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Inside &#8216;darkness retreat&#8217; as Anthony Joshua forks out \u00a32K to sit in black room[REVEALED] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Boxing legend Mike Tyson lost 100lb through strict diet and training regime[REPORTS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &#038; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Joshua went on to claim that he plans to fight this December at the 02 or Wembley Arena in London, but it is unclear who his opponent could be.\u00a0&#8220;It won&#8217;t be a championship fighter &#8211; which is Usyk and Fury,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It won&#8217;t be none of them guys and I am not too sure about the Wilder situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joshua added that no date has been set for his bout against Wilder.\u00a0&#8220;It feels like a land grab at the moment,&#8221; he said.\u00a0&#8220;Some fighters want to maximise their revenue. When I first started, you start, you build up your record, you fight and then you fight the big fights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it is like, &#8216;Where can we get the most money for the fight?&#8217; And they want to go to Saudi Arabia so they are waiting for the undisputed fight.
