Nobody has held all four heavyweight world belts before and the lure of pay-per-view money can make it happen
Anthony Joshua is quietly adamant Deontay Wilder should be his 23rd opponent, at Wembley Stadium on 13 April, a date when sanity would have at least a chance to intrude briefly on the fight game with the crowning of a heavyweight regarded as the undisputed world champion.
The slender odds are that the IBF, WBA and WBO title-holder – who has an iron grip on the direction of his career – will get what he wants, mainly because Wilder, who holds the WBC belt, wants it too. However, trusting professional boxing to move along logical lines is the sporting equivalent of predicting what happens to Brexit.
