The last time there was a card this stacked was probably when Don King was the top promoter many decades ago. I am impressed at the ability of the Saudis to bring together this lineup of fighters regardless of promoter or network affiliation.

Even if Wilder and Joshua have been diminished by the brutal beatings they've taken, it is still an intriguing potential matchup. I am not counting Wallin and Parker out. They are very capable fighters and it wouldn't surprise me if either of them won.

It's great to see Bivol back in action. Hopefully this leads to an undisputed fight with Beterbiev. The rest of the undercard is also interesting since it is full of contenders who would be headliners on any other night.

This is indeed one mega fight it is star-studded and headed by two former heavyweight champions, both Wilder and Joshua are expected to be the favorite here but both their challengers are expected to give them a hard fight I hope both former champions will hurdle their respective opponents so they can finally face each, its really long time coming I'm sure like many fans will watch this fight to see how former champions perform against their respective opponents.
Honestly, I am more worried about Joshua than Wilder not because Wallin is a dangerous fighter but because he is prone to upsets and has a weak character than Wilder.

Yeah, both Wilder and Joshua are heavy favorites in these matches with odds 1.17 and 1.26, respectively. But I'm more excited about Wilder vs. Parker here. Both are heavy punchers with the ability to end the fight right in the opening round. I bet the fight won't go the distance. Despite the lop-sided odds, I still think Parker can upset Wilder. As to Joshua vs. Wallin, I'm not expecting much. It will probably be not as explosive as the other bout.

And there is Dmitry Bivol. I would just bet 3 fights for this event. Despite being still young AJ is not as good as before after his first loss or there are just fighters that he couldn't really beat because of the Southpaw stance. Saudi is ramping up because people there are hungry for entertainment and they are very rich to hold events like this.

Ngannou could have been in this card if he just agreed to fight Wilder. The man fumbles the bag again, he is stubborn.

Because both agents are contacting one another to arrange a fight by December, many people were hoping to see Anthony Joshua and Wilder square off. However, before they face off in the boxing ring, they are unaware that the boxing organization has another plan for them.

The new rule, which calls for Wilder and Joshua to fight independently and prevail before their fight takes place by next year, is intended to demonstrate their physical strength and position as being among the world's best boxers. They(Wilder or Joshua) can't earn it without having a tough opponent from time to time.

Joshua has won two fights already this year, he should not take this upcoming fight as a weak fight or an easy fight for him to easily win, he has to prepare very well because Wallin has a good record and has faced fighters as tough as Joshua is in his career. It is natural for me to support Anthony Joshua when he fights, so I will still be supporting him in this fight, and hope that he can knock the lights out of Wallin when they meet in December which will be a good statement to say he is ready for Wilder. I will like to see the Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder fight.

Anthony Joshua returns against Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder faces Joseph Parker on same bill in Saudi Arabia

Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder can set up a fight in 2024 if they both win their separate bouts on the same bill in Saudi Arabia on December 23; Joshua will fight Otto Wallin while Wilder takes on Joseph Parker in Riyadh

Press conference just finished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRAmsnidfIw

Saudi have knocked it out of the park with another huge card for Riyadh Season which I'm sure makes up for the Fury V Usyk fight not happening until next year now. No idea how they managed to get this all sorted within a little over a week. Not sure who will headline out of the two co-mains but I'm sure we'll get a face-off between Aj and Wilder after and especially if they both win their fights.

Full line up:

Quote
Anthony Joshua-Otto Wallin

Joshua looks to make it three for three this year against Swedish southpaw, Otto Wallin. Wallin took Tyson Fury the distance back in 2019 and has built back with six wins. The currently ranked IBF number two could provide a stern test for ‘AJ’ but, if he passes, a statement win would end his 2023 on a high. He’s expected to fight Wilder in the first half of 2024.

Deontay Wilder-Joseph Parker

The Joshua fight will only be the case should Wilder beat Parker, the former world champion who has bounced back from a punishing loss to Joe Joyce with three lower-level wins. The American looks to add a 43rd knockout to his record.

Dmitry Bivol-Lyndon Arthur

Bivol was facing a year of inactivity before this card came about, but will now fight his one bout of 2023 against the UK’s Lyndon Arthur, who has built up four wins since his loss to Anthony Yarde. Bivol will be looking to remain undefeated, keep his WBC Light-Heavyweight World Title and push for a unification against Artur Beterbiev.

Jai Opetaia-Ellis Zorro

Opetaia takes on his second British opponent in a matter of months, this time defending his IBF Cruiserweight World Title against 17-0 Ellis Zorro. A win for the Aussie sets him on the path of defending his belt in a rematch against the man he won if from – Mairis Breidis.

Daniel Dubois-Jarrell Miller

The post-fight debate of Dubois’ loss to Oleksandr Usyk in his world title attempt was all about a low-blow, but many felt they didn’t see enough heart from the young UK heavyweight. That will need to be on show throughout fight week and in the ring against undefeated brash American, Jarrell Miller – best known on these shores for squandering an opportunity to face Anthony Joshua by failing doping tests.

Arslanbek Makhmudov-Agit Kabayel

Two undefeated heavyweights collide, with Makhmudov the one with the momentum despite being three years older than 31-year-old Kabayel. The Russian looks to keep up his reputation as a knockout artist against Germany’s Kabayel, who has has fought once per year since 2017.

Frank Sanchez-Junior Fa

Undefeated Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchez faces New Zealand’s Junior Fa, who was knocked out by Lucas Browne in one round in mid-2022 before returning with a low-level win this year. Sanchez, trained by Eddy Reynoso of Canelo fame, looks to move 24-0.

Fillip Hrgovic-Mark Di Mori

IBF number one contender Filip Hrgovic faces 41-year-old Mark De Mori in the strangest match-up of the card. De Mori was knocked out by David Haye in one round back in 2016, but has recorded 11 wins since in mostly eight rounders. Fans expect Hrgovic to keep his mandatory position.
