Deontay Wilder Challenges Anthony Joshua to a Blockbuster Fight
Following his victory over Derek Chisora, Deontay Wilder expressed his eagerness to face Anthony Joshua in a highly anticipated heavyweight bout. Wilder briefly interacted with Joshua after the fight, saying 'let's get it on' and is now targeting him as his next opponent. In a post-fight press conference, Wilder revealed that he and Joshua had a brief encounter, during which he expressed his desire to face him in the ring. Wilder stated, 'I'm ready for whoever is in the heavyweight division. I want to clean up the whole division.' He also emphasized the importance of his character in the sport, saying, 'The heavyweight division is nothing without Deontay Wilder.' Meanwhile, Joshua made his first public appearance since the tragic loss of his friends and may be considering a return to the ring. A potential fight against Wilder would be a significant comeback for Joshua. Alternatively, Wilder is also open to fighting rising star Moses Itauma, who recently extended his record to 14-0 with a knockout victory.
