In 2018, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua almost had the opportunity to compete with each other. Although Deontay Wilder's management suggested Joshua's remuneration for $ 50 million, the British champion still shook his head and chose to compete with Alexander Povetkin.
Three years have passed and now, Deontay Wilder will enter the most important challenge in his career. A victory over the hatred against Fury can definitely reshap negotiations with Joshua.
Discussing the Plan of the former WBC heavy champion, co -manager Shelly Finkel offered a deep view of their thoughts.
“He is definitely capable. But, once again, it's not an excuse, he is not Deontay that we know in that second match and we will find a way to surprise the whole world,” Finkel told Sky Sports.
“We are not really surprised if that (Wilder Knockout Fury) happens, but others will feel so and I honestly believe Deontay will beat the opponent this time.
“Joshua will be the next goal, but we can't even think about it. We have to focus completely on this war. This is what is in front of Wilder.
This is important and this is Deontay's goal. There will be nothing bigger than this, even when he continues and defeats Joshua. This is the biggest thing for him. ”
