Eddie Hearn predicts Anthony Joshua would "box the ears off" Deontay Wilder in a potential clash between the two former champions.
Joshua, 33, could meet fellow knockout artist Wilder, 37, in an illustrious Saudi Arabia fight card which would be co-headlined by Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk at the end of the year. Matchroom Boxing boss Hearn, who promotes Joshua, has scoffed at critics who have advised Joshua to avoid a fight against 'The Bronze Bomber' as he thinks the Brit should be a betting favourite in the potential clash.
"Joshua has boxed everybody that he’s been asked to box and now it’s a fight to avoid against Deontay Wilder? If you think ‘AJ’ is an underdog in that fight, in my opinion, you’re mad. “It’s just one of the greatest fights in boxing, so let’s roll the dice and see AJ put it on the line in a massive fight," Hearn told ESBR Boxing.
