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.
“They’re definitely begging now. His management have been trying to reach out to mine all of a sudden,” Wilder told BBC on Monday.
“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.”
A bout between WBC champion Wilder and Joshua – who holds the IBF and WBO, WBA belts – would unify the titles in the heavyweight division.
