Anthony Joshua told he "doesn't come close" to heavyweight rival Deontay Wilder

Deontay Wilder's trainer has suggested Anthony Joshua is a long way from matching his heavyweight rival.

Joshua was looking to reclaim his unified heavyweight world titles in August during a second meeting with Oleksandr Usyk, but came up short after falling to a split decision defeat. 'AJ' now faces a rebuild in order to to contend for world honours, and is eyeing a series of contenders including Dillian Whyte and Wilder.

The 'Bronze Bomber' is currently ranked as the No.1. contender with the WBC and is expected to fight Andy Ruiz Jr in an eliminator next for a shot at Tyson Fury's world title. And the American star's coach Malik Scott believes only Wilder's three-time opponent Fury is considered a tough test in the eyes of the former champion.
