Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder

Both Wilder and Joshua have suffered devastating losses in their last fights. However, this could be a moment of resurgence for both fighters. If Joshua wants to get back in the title contention, a bout with the former WBC heavyweight champion will be a great choice. Moreover, this was a fight that fans have been eager to see even before Joshua’s loss.
