Boxing’s very own ‘Bronze Bomber’ Deontay Wilder, is currently one of the most formidable names in the heavyweight division. His powerful performances inside the ring made him a force to reckon with. His last tango inside the ring was against Finnish heavyweight Robert Helenius in October 2022. And went on to leave fans and the combat sports fraternity awestruck with his first-round knockout. Meanwhile, there have been speculations about Wilder’s potential future fights. There were also talks about a Wilder vs Anthony Joshua showdown. However, in a recent interview, he revealed why he feels that Joshua will never face him inside the ring.

Wilder was recently in an interview with Elie Seckbach, for ESNEWS. In conversation, he opened up about his thoughts on potentially fighting Joshua. Talking about the same, he said, “Joshua don’t wanna fight me, it’s plain and clear. I don’t know why people keep asking about that.”

Moreover, he further added, “Everybody should’ve known when the $50 million was offered to him. And he didn’t take it. They should have known then that something fishy was about him. Even moving forwards, Joshua don’t want to fight.” While the fight was a highly anticipated one, it reportedly failed to materialize.
