Anthony Joshua assures fans and enthusiasts alike, affirming his commitment to facing Deontay Wilder in the ring.
The heavyweight adversaries are slated to share the spotlight on Saturday night, with AJ scheduled to fight Otto Wallin and Wilder to take on Joseph Parker in separate bouts on the same card.
It’s known that the plan is for the Brit and the American to meet next year, if they both emerge victorious.

Reports have even emerged this week suggesting that a two-fight deal is now agreed, contingent on this weekend’s results.
It looks as though the pair, who first failed in negotiations to fight back in 2018, could finally clash in 2024.
AJ wrote in his Standard column:
“I know what people want, I know what I want, that’s no secret – Deontay Wilder.
“We’re sharing the same card finally, although we’re not in the ring at the same time.
“That will come, I promise you. It just takes time.
“I’ve not shied away from the fact I want the Wilder fight. He’s keen, too.
“When two fighters want to get into the ring, it usually happens.
“We’ll now just leave that to our promotional teams to make it happen.
“I totally get it’s the fight that people want, but you can’t rush a fight of that magnitude and it’ll be huge when it happens, even though there won’t be a world title belt on the line.
“It’s pure entertainment and boxing fans around the world will love it.”
