Former world heavyweight champion boxers Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder will both be part of a Riyadh Season event in Saudi Arabia on December 23. Although they won't be facing each other, they will appear on the same card.

Anthony Joshua will fight Sweden’s Otto Wallin, while Deontay Wilder will take on Joseph Parker. The event, called the "Day of Reckoning," was originally scheduled to feature Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, but their fight has been canceled.

While the two former champions won't be fighting each other, their presence on the same card has raised speculation about a potential future matchup.
