Best laid plans
IT WAS a wild Wednesday for The Week as news broke of a concrete plan for Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder to fight. I have been writing about this contest seriously for the best part of five years – for it to be now less than three months away feels too good to be true. And, of course, it is. No matter that all sides have a deal in place to fight on March 9, 2024, the fact is, both of these men have to win far-from-straightforward fights in Riyadh first. In fact, both of them starred in probably the greatest promotional video ever, released on Wednesday, during which a number of the key figures involved dressed up as zombies and did zombie things. Anyway, if – and only if – Joshua and Wilder both win will we begin to dream.
