Fans eagerly anticipating Anthony Joshua's showdown with Deontay Wilder will have to wait a bit longer, as the earliest potential date for the fight has now been rescheduled to March.

Initially, plans were in place for Joshua and Wilder to lock horns in the Middle East, either December or January. However, due to unforeseen delays, Joshua is set to take part in an interim fight before the much-anticipated encounter with the American pugilist next spring.

Joshua's most recent fight occurred in August when he secured a victory over Robert Helenius. Unfortunately, it later emerged that the Finnish boxer had failed a pre-fight drug test. This revelation added to the drama surrounding Joshua's career.

Additionally, there's another exciting prospect on the horizon for Joshua. Suppose Tyson Fury's expected undisputed match against Oleksandr Usyk takes place on December 23 in Saudi Arabia, and the IBF title becomes vacant. In that case, Joshua is being considered for the IBF world title.

Over the past three years, Anthony Joshua has engaged in four pivotal fights, claiming victory in two and experiencing defeat in two. His consecutive losses came in a world title fight against Usyk.

However, he quickly rebounded with triumphant performances against Jermaine Franklin and a knockout win over Helenius, solidifying his place as a formidable force in the heavyweight division.
