Speaking of which, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua are in talks to square off inside the ring in the upcoming days. Take a look at what the former has to say about the same.

Deontay Wilder has stated on multiple occasions that Anthony Joshua’s backers have given him everything. He also stated, “The things I’ve been saying before, many things I’ve been saying before.

“As a person, Anthony Joshua as a man, as a person, I don’t have nothing that I dislike as a person — but as a business man, in this business? I don’t like him at all. I don’t like that antics of business and how they conduct business because this is a gladiator business. Again, personally, I have nothing against him. Personally, I don’t know him as a man,” he added.
