Showtime's Stephen Espinoza says the fight could happen next year, as he has a deal with the IBF heavyweight champion.

"Vegas is where that fight really deserves to be and it would be a huge occasion,' Espinoza told RingTV.com.
"It's been a while since there's been a heavyweight title fight of that magnitude in Vegas and I think there's a lot of pent-up demand for it.'
Wilder is currently out of action until spring due to a torn bicep and broken hand which he sustained against Chris Arreola.

"Because of Deontay's injury and Joshua's impending mandatory, as well as other factors, I think we're looking at a fight in the winter of 2017," he said.
"That is the most realistic time as Deontay is out until late spring. Ideally, we want to get them both on track for a third or fourth quarter fight next year."
Something to watch out for.
