It had been talked about for months that Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder could meet in a potential massive fight. Unfortunately, it never came to fruition. But at the very least, fans will be treated to being able to watch both of them on the same night.
Matchroom Boxing confirmed on Wednesday their "Day of Reckoning" event, which will feature Wilder and Joshua fighting against Joseph Parker and Otto Wallin, respectively. As if that wasn't enough for boxing purists, WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol will also be fighting on the same card.
The full card has to be seen to be believed.
Day of Reckoning Full Fight Card
This is the tentative lineup for the card that will take place on December 23rd at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
- Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin
- Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker
- Dmitry Bivol vs. Lyndon Arthur
- Daniel Dubois vs. Jarrell Miller
- Jai Opetaia vs. Ellis Zorro
- Frank Sanchez vs. Junior Fa
- Filip Hrgovic vs. Mark De Mori
- Arslanbek Makhmudov vs. Agit Kabayel
Boxing fans couldn't believe the fight card. Getting two high-profile names in separate fights on the same card is a tough task in and of itself, but this card has so many stars that the entire day will be filled with intense action.
It's believed that Joshua-Wallin will be the Main Event, but the entire event will be a spectacle no matter who fights first or last.
