In another universe, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder might be sitting with their belts around their waists, looking forward to a blockbuster unification fight.

So it seems we are now just one successful night away from that potential showdown becoming a reality.

Former heavyweight champions Joshua and Wilder face Otto Wallin and Joseph Parker in a double main event on Dec. 23 in London.

Both Joshua and Wilder are boxing on the same bill on the same night for the first time in their careers — a sure sign that they are on a collision course.

Terms have been agreed for Joshua to fight Wilder — but the Briton may walk away if contracts are not agreed soon, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.
