The “copper bomb” did not have the opportunity to compete with Joshua in the match considered the “summit” in 2018 even though Wilder gave $ 50 million at Joshua's request. Joshua had previously stated that he would take part in the competition if Wilder gave that number. However, after the struggles, the two sides still blamed each other when the match could not be held, and after seeing the match could not take place, WBA asked Joshua to fight Alexander Povetkin, or accepted the belt.
Three years have passed since the day of the tank with Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder here will enter one of the most important challenges in his career – revenge on Tyson Fury. A victory over Tyson Fury will be a fire that sparks the “unpaid old contract” with Anthony Joshua, of course, this time the two sides have to resume serious negotiations.
Shelly Finkel, co -manager of the former heavy champion Deontay Wilder, is absolutely believing that his boxer will successfully take revenge and regain the WBC championship from Tyson Fury, through which Wilder will step to the “summit” that has been sparked 3 years ago with Joshua.
“Deontay Wilder will definitely do it. Deontay today is no longer Deontay of the old days, he was double that was three times the previous match, Deontay this time would make fans of the whole world open his eyes.” – Finkel replies Sky Sports.
“The next goal was quite clear – Anthony Joshua. However, we could not think about that match because we needed to focus completely for this battle.” – Finkel added.
As for Anthony Joshua, according to Mr. Eddie Hearn, the match between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk was backed until the end of September. Oleksandr Usyk is absolutely not an easy -to -eat punch, if there is a moment of negligence, it is likely that Anthony Joshua will not meet Deontay Wilder (if Wilder lowered Fury).
