Last weekend, Deontay Wilder shook the world when he dropped Tyson Fury twice in their trilogy. Nobody expected the ex-champ to do so, but with his exuberant right-hand power and polished set of skills, Wilder left everyone in awe. Despite many efforts, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ suffered a lopsided defeat to the Brit. Following two title losses, fans are curious to see his next opponent.
Many feel Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua are the perfect opponents for Wilder. Recently, Whyte and ‘AJ’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, spoke to DAZN Boxing about Whyte and Joshua’s potential bouts with ‘The Bronze Bomber’.
He said, “Whyte would do exactly the same to Wilder that Fury did, in terms of being too big and strong, but could also get KOd… AJ, too sharp, too good a technician, but could also get KOd. Usyk would school Wilder, but could also get KOd.” (h/t Michael Benson)

Throughout his career span, Deontay Wilder ran riot with his powerful right fist. However, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ got exposed in his second fight against Tyson Fury. Hence, he made changes and added some more weapons to counter ‘The Gypsy King’
While these helped him have his moments in the trilogy, he couldn’t get over the line. Nonetheless, he could look to use these weapons against some other opponents.

If Joshua wins, a Wilder fight is unlikely, as he may opt to go for an undisputed bout rather than share the ring with a non-mandatory. However, if he loses to ‘The Cat’, a contest between two elite boxers on two-fight losing streaks could be epic.
