Deontay Wilder has turned into a hot topic over the past few weeks. This is because he is now finally aligned against Tyson Fury for a massive trilogy that is set for July 24th. But Wilder just doesn’t wish to stop after defeating Fury. In fact, he also wants to get his hands on the unified heavyweight king, Anthony Joshua.
While talking to Sky Sports Boxing recently, the journalist asked him whether he’d be interested in battling Joshua at any point in the future.
Wilder responded, “Most definitely, hands down. Without no excuses, no mandataries, nothing in the way. As I see they already making up excuses. They already got a mandatory plan in head. No one really wants to fight someone like me, and I don’t blame them.”

The journalist asked him whether he’d knock Joshua out. “In a devastating fashion,” Wilder reverted.
Wilder has been out of action ever since he capitulated to a loss to ‘The Gypsy King’ a year ago. Right after that fight, the only contest he asked for was a trilogy against the Brit. However, now it seems that ‘AJ’ is entering Wilder’s mix, and the latter is supremely keen on fighting and beating him too.
For now, ‘AJ’ is in contention to face the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk for his WBO title defense. And before that, he won’t transition his focus to fighting anyone else. But if he gets past Usyk and Wilder hammers Fury, then the Joshua vs Wilder fight will undoubtedly be on the cards.

That said, a fight between these two will be the biggest boxing battle of the modern era for obvious reasons. However, both of them will have to get past their next rugged adversaries first. It’ll be exciting to see if Wilder and ‘AJ’ really win their next fights and simultaneously line up against each other next.
