Simon Jordan says he has had heard rumours that Saudi Arabia are planning to a stage a three-fight tournament involving Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder. The idea is that Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder take place in December, with the winners set to meet further down the line in a battle for heavyweight supremacy.

Joshua was expected to return to the ring in the summer but in a shocking twist, the Watford powerhouse revealed he would instead be boxing in December. "My next fight is scheduled for December," Joshua told his 15.2million followers on Instagram earlier this week. "Not ideal but everything is part of a bigger picture."

Jordan says he has heard that Joshua's next fight will be against Wilder over in the middle east at the same time that Usyk and Fury square off for their long-awaited four-belt shoot-out. Both parties were unable to thrash out a deal for April after a disagreement over the purse split for the rematch.

But if what Jordan is hearing is true then a new undisputed champion could be crowned before the end of the year.
