The Gypsy King is reportedly eyeing a double-header with Joshua in 2022, as the two rivals have been agonisingly close to finally meeting in the ring on several occasions.

They were verbally sparring for years about the prospect of a mammoth event and they came close to penning a deal to face off and name the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

However, Wilder won an arbitration hearing to secure a third bout with Fury while Joshua turned to Oleksandr Usyk.

The Ukrainian is now the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO champion and he could face Fury in an undisputed clash in 2022 should he defeat Joshua in their anticipated rematch.
