Deontary Wilder
WBC heavyweight champion Deontary Wilder has
sensationally told ESPN that he will end Anthony Joshua’s boxing
career when the two finally meet in the ring.
WBA and IBF champion Joshua is considered the
biggest star in the division since dethroning the long-time face of heavyweight
boxing in Wladimir Klitschko.
Following on from Joshua’s title defence over
Carlos Takam on October 28 and Wilder’s first round stoppage of Bermane
Stiverne a week later, talks have begun for a blockbuster unification bout in
2018, with both fighters’ promoters meeting in New York last week.
The pair have begun the verbal jousting with
Wilder the latest to bite in an epic rant on ESPN’s Sports Nation
programme in the U.S.
“Joshua, let’s make this fight happen man,”
Wilder started.
“This is one of the biggest, most exciting fight
in the world history. We could make records, we could set history on the time
of the fight whenever it happens.
“I’m ready, I don’t know about you. You’ve had it
easy, it’s been breezy for you.
“You’re ready to fight low opposition and get
paid millions of dollars and you don’t want that gravy train to end, but I am
the man that’s going to end your career.”
Wilder also insisted he “will bring boxing back
to where it used to be” when the heavyweight division was booming with the
likes of Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman.
