Anthony Joshua has been told he is not mentally tough enough to take on Deontay Wilder by the American's trainer Malik Scott.
The two former world heavyweight champions appear to be on a collision course this year after being unable to put a fight together when they ruled the division. But Scott, who has felt Wilder's power as a fighter when they competed in 2014 as well as in the gym during sparring, feels Joshua doesn't have what it takes to beat the former champion.
Wilder and Joshua have managed to maintain their ability to draw fans despite losing five of their last eight collective fights, three of which were brutal stoppages. And fans are still clamouring to see them test their punching power against the other, despite there now being no belts on the line.
