ANTHONY JOSHUA has revealed he and Deontay Wilder are “throwing it down in December”.
The 33-year-old returned to winning ways with a points victory over Jermaine Franklin at the start of the month.
Joshua is now seemingly targeting a December showdown against Wilder, 37.
His promoter Eddie Hearn flew to Saudi Arabia this week to hold talks over a potential super-fight for AJ.
And Joshua appeared to confirm that a blockbuster meeting with the Bronze Bomber is on the cards for later this year.
In a video reposted to YouTube by iFL TV from Instagram, Joshua was asked if he’s going to beat Wilder.

Meanwhile, the Bronze Bomber’s team have already given their green light for the fight.
Wilder himself also said a meeting with AJ would be a “dream fight” for boxing fans.
