Wilder 'agrees' to unification fight with Joshua in UK

WILDER

Wilder's manager Shelly Finkel later told ESPN they had officially accepted terms to a fight in the UK.

Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn have yet to publicly respond, though Hearn has previously criticised the Wilder team for appearing to do their business via social media, insisting "deals are made in the boardroom, not on Instagram".

Finkel said: "Deontay sent an email to Joshua [Sunday] night, and I sent one [Monday] to Barry Hearn and Eddie telling them that we officially accept the offer to fight under the terms they gave us and to send us the contract."

Should Joshua, 28, fight the American next, the winner would become the first heavyweight to hold all four recognised world titles at once.

Russian Alexander Povetkin is the WBA's mandatory challenger and is close to a deal to fight Joshua, although Joshua could face Wilder first if Povetkin is able to fight the winner.
