CNN —Two of British boxing’s biggest names in recent years – Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury – have seemed destined to face off for a while now.

Britain's Joshua, the former WBA, IBF and WBO champion, will take on Sweden's Otto Wallin while American Wilder, the former WBC champion, faces New Zealand's Joseph Parker at Riyadh's Kingdom Arena. Parker is also a former WBO champion. Joshua and Wilder could fight each other next year if both win in Riyadh. Ukrainian Usyk had been due to fight WBC champion Tyson Fury for the undisputed crown in Riyadh on Dec. 23 but that has been put back to give the Briton more time after a bruising non-title fight with Francis Ngannou. Joshua told reporters last month that a fight between him and Wilder could be staged on the undercard of the Usyk v Fury clash.

VALENCIA, Spain (AP) — The heavyweight title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury now appears likely to be held in February. I will be sure when I’m the ring,” Usyk said. That was before Fury got knocked down and nearly defeated by Francis Ngannou, an MMA fighter making his boxing debut. “I want this to work out, I want this fight to happen,” the 36-year-old Usyk said from his training camp in Valencia. Earlier talks for a Fury-Usyk fight fell apart in March, with Warren blaming a disagreement over terms for a rematch.

The attorney, Terrence Connors, said the defendant, Peyton Gendron, would enter a guilty plea on Monday to all 25 counts against him in a state indictment at a 2 p.m. hearing in Erie County Court in Buffalo. He initially pleaded not guilty to all counts in June. The guilty plea would mean that the case against Gendron, who is from Conklin, New York, will not go to trial. He could face life in prison or the death penalty on the state charges. Gendron also faces 27 federal hate crime and firearms charges, to which he pleaded not guilty to in January.
