ANTHONY JOSHUA and Deontay Wilder could reportedly fight on the same card in separate bouts in a bid to build up to a blockbuster. <\/p>\n

The heavyweight superstars had been in talks for a huge bout years in the making until backers in Saudi Arabia pulled out. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

So the two now face the prospect of returning in interim fights before negotiations can resume. <\/p>\n

Boxing bosses in Saudi had planned for a massive event on December 23 between Tyson Fury, 35, and Oleksandr Usyk, 36. <\/p>\n

But Fury was dropped and left fortunate to walk away with a controversial win over ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou only eight weeks beforehand. <\/p>\n

So the historic first four-belt heavyweight unification has been postponed until February. <\/p>\n

However, the Saudis still want a show on December 23.<\/p>\n

According to Dan Rafael, it could see Joshua, 34, and Wilder, 38, fight in individual bouts on the same card. <\/p>\n

And if all goes to plan, it would help build between a bout between the two next year. <\/p>\n

Ngannou, 37, was also considered to fight on the bill but he recently confirmed plans to sit and wait for a rematch with Fury. <\/p>\n
