Wilder says he is faster and stronger than Joshua

By Daily Sports on January 7, 2018

After analyzing Anthony Joshua’s talent level, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber” Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs) has determined that he’s faster, stronger and more mobile than him.

Wilder says he cannot wait to get Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) inside the ring in 2018, so that he can dethrone him and take his IBF and WBA heavyweight titles from him.

“My movement and speed is definitely faster,” said Wilder to Yahoo Sports News in comparing his hand speed to Joshua’s. “I hit harder than him. My IQ in the ring is definitely smarter than his too. He throws combinations better, technique-wise he’s better, but styles make fights,” said Wilder.

Wilder, 32, wants to show the boxing world what he’s made of by fighting Joshua and ending his 20-fight winning streak this year. The two huge heavyweights are considered the best in the division by a lot of boxing fans.

Wilder has a big test in front of him in Luis ‘King Kong’ Ortiz (28-0, 24 KOs) on the 3rd of March at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

If Wilder beats Ortiz with flying colors, then you can say that he’s at least one of the two best heavyweights in the world.

Joshua will be fighting WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker on March 31 in the UK.

The winner of that fight will be the other top heavyweight in the division. It’s expected that Wilder and Joshua will emerge victorious from their next fights.

They can then face each other in a big unification fight in the summer, as long as the match can get made.
