Wilder wants Joshua fight next

By Daily Sports Nigeria on January 15, 2023

Two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is firmly on the radar of Deontay Wilder as the American’s trainer has confirmed that they would like to face the British-Nigerian next, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott expressed their desire to face Joshua next, claiming a fight between the pair would be the ‘biggest fight in the history of the heavyweight division’.

Wilder made his return to the ring in explosive fashion last October, when he dispatched of Robert Helenius in just one round at the Barclays Centre in New York, USA.

That win saw the American ordered to face Ruiz in a final eliminator by the WBC, meaning the winner would be next in line for a shot at Wilder’s old foe Fury.

Scott, who has worked with Wilder since his trilogy bout with Tyson Fury, told IFL TV his preference was for his charge to face Joshua instead of Andy Ruiz Jr, whom he is mandated to face by the WBC.

“You have Deontay and Andy Ruiz mandated for the WBC, but then you have people raving for Anthony Joshua and Deontay to fight, and that actual fight is bigger than the WBC mandation. We’ll just see.

“I want Deontay to fight Joshua, I think that’s the biggest fight in the history of the heavyweight division. I want to see them in the ring with each other, because I don’t believe it will go more than three rounds.”
