World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has shared a message for Deontay Wilder ahead of their potential summer fight.
The 28-year-old Londoner – who recently beat Joseph Parker unanimously on points – only needs Wilder’s WBC heavyweight crown to become undisputed king of the division.
Joshua currently holds the WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO belts, whilst Wilder has held the WBC belt since 2015.
They are reportedly close to agreeing a summer fight in a UK stadium – and the 32-year-old American has been given a stern warning.
“He’ll do a great job of promoting and selling himself and I’ll do a great job of knocking him out,” said Joshua, as per independent.ie.
“People talk a good game, but it’s about backing it up in the ring. People like to trash talk, but I do it in a more fun way unless it gets personal and then I’ll give as good as I get.
“I like to beat them in the ring. I’ve never heard of a record for winning press conferences or stare downs.”
