“It Isn’t Coming Across the Right Way”- Anthony Joshua Puts Deontay Wilder on Blast for His Recent Comments

Multi-institutional champion Anthony Joshua spoke out via Sky Sports and shared his views on former WBC champion Deontay Wilder. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ has been in the headlines of late due to the comments he’s made about Tyson Fury.

Wilder and Fury fought in early 2020 wherein Tyson earned an emphatic TKO to more or less wrap up their rivalry. Deontay Wilder has recently come out accusing ‘The Gypsy King’ of foul play, and his comments have made heads turn.

Chiefly, he’s claimed that Tyson padded his gloves with egg weight and also went as far as to accuse his own trainer of poisoning his water. These accusations came months after he justified his loss by claiming that his walk-out costume was too heavy.

Anthony Joshua lays it out on Deontay Wilder’s claims

‘AJ’ let it be known that Wilder’s behavior was only going to serve in tarnishing his own credibility. What’s more, several fans and pundits have already scoffed at his claims and will now view him through a different lens.

Anthony expressed a hope that Wilder would put forth his thoughts more clearly going forward.

“How he feels today might change in a year or two years due to experiences or more understanding of the situation that he has gone through. He was knocking everybody out and got used to a winning performance.

“He took a loss and isn’t used to it. As time goes on, he may express himself differently. Today? In my humble opinion, it isn’t coming across in the right way.”

“We offered him a fight”

Additionally, Joshua also opened up about Wilder’s recent tweet to Tyson Fury. Chiefly, Wilder said that he was offered to fight Joshua for more money, but turned it down to fight Fury.

“The positive out of it? He told the world that he ducked and dodged me. We offered him a fight for the undisputed championship of the world, and he went down the route of fighting Fury. I’m glad we can clear that up and move on.”

Anthony Joshua will have to divert his focus away from Deontay as he has his hands full. ‘AJ’ will face Kubrat Pulev on December 12, 2020, and Pulev is certainly a dangerous opponent.
