Three of boxing’s biggest stars could all be in action this year.
While there are talks for a heavyweight showdown in Saudi Arabia, boxing’s big boys are all in talks to compete much earlier this year.
Tyson Fury
WBC World Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has got many fans curious after his UK co-promoter, Frank Warren, teased the champion’s next fight would be a 'game-changer'.
As noted by talkSPORT, Eddie Hearn revealed that according to rumours, the Gypsy King would take on former UFC Heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, in an exhibition match with no knockdowns.
Deontay Wilder
While The Bronze Bomber was also pushing for a fight against Ngannou, he is now in talks to fight Mexican star, Andy Ruiz, Boxing Scene reported.
The duo are reportedly still deciding on the percentage each fighter would receive for the bout, with Wilder wanting a 70-30 split in his favour.
World Boxing News has also reported the fight could be for the WBC Heavyweight title, as Fury may be stripped of the belt if he does fight Ngannou.
Anthony Joshua
While the other two heavyweights have yet to put pen to paper on a deal, the former champion is much further in his negotiations.
Sky Sports reported that Dillian Whyte had signed a contract and returned it to AJ's team for a blockbuster rematch between the two.
The duo fought before in the amateurs, with Whyte winning, and then faced off in a professional bout which Joshua won by knockout.

As Sports Brief also reported, Joshua isn’t interested in fighting Ngannou anytime soon, despite the Cameroonian looking for an opponent.
The former UFC Heavyweight champion has been looking for a high-profile boxing match since his release from the promotion earlier this year.
Ngannou expressed an interest in fighting Wilder, Fury or Joshua, but the superstar trio could be involved in something more significant.
