Anthony Joshua advised to avoid taking on "dangerous" Deontay Wilder in next fight

Anthony Joshua has been told to get a few wins under his belt before taking a fight against Deontay Wilder.

Joshua, 32, failed to win back his world titles when he lost a decision to Oleksandr Usyk earlier this month. 'AJ' had more success in the fight than he did against Usyk last September, but the Ukrainian was the superior boxer on the night as Joshua suffered his second loss on the bounce.

The loss marked Joshua's third defeat in his last five fights after going unbeaten in his first 22 professional bouts. Robert Garcia, who partnered with Joshua for his rematch against Usyk, thinks the former two-time heavyweight champion should get his confidence back by taking a couple of warm-up fights before challenging an elite heavyweight such as Wilder.
