Wilder vows to KO Joshua in proposed Saudi bout

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 21, 2023

Deontay Wilder has promised to knockout Anthony Joshua in a proposed heavyweight bout against the British-Nigerian in Saudi Arabia.

The two former heavyweight champions are widely reported to be in discussions for what would be one of the most fiercely anticipated fights in recent years.

Joshua is on the lookout for a new opponent after recovering from back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk with victory over Jermaine Franklin earlier this month, while Wilder beat Robert Helenius in October after consecutive losses to Tyson Fury.

Both fighters are keen to work their way up the rankings to earn another shot at the titles and, with the pair having history with Fury and Usyk, a meeting in the ring is a favoured option for many fans.

Should a blockbuster clash in Saudi Arabia occur, Wilder is confident he would see off Joshua with a knockout.

“What we expecting? I’m gonna just put it like this, I’ll just keep it sweet, I’m gonna give Saudi their first knockout victim,” he told ES News.

Earlier this week, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed he was travelling to the Far East to discuss the potential fight.
