Boxing: Joshua’s Team Are ‘Begging’ For Fight – Wilder
Anthony Joshua’s team are “begging” for a world heavyweight unification bout, says WBC champion Deontay Wilder.
The American, 33, controversially drew with Britain’s Tyson Fury in Los Angeles earlier this month.
The WBC has since sanctioned a direct rematch after a “unanimous agreement” in a meeting of the board of governors.
“They’re definitely begging now. His management have been trying to reach out to mine all of a sudden,” Wilder told Tidesports source this week.
“He could have had this opportunity, he had many opportunities; he could have fought Luis Ortiz, he could have fought me, he had a chance to fight [Tyson] Fury.
“But people want to know who’s the best, especially after seeing this Fury fight, and I’ve been trying to show people who is the best. I’m always going to say I’m the best until I’m defeated.”
