Anthony Joshua warned he will be KO'd inside three rounds by Deontay Wilder

Deontay Wilder's trainer Malik Scott believes that while Anthony Joshua is still one of the world's top heavyweights, he is susceptible to an early knockout from the hard-hitting American.

Despite two consecutive world title losses to Oleksandr Usyk and Wilder having lost his belts to Tyson Fury before returning with a recent win, fans are still clamouring to see the two heavyweights clash. Their bout would have been one of the biggest in history when they held all the gold back in 2018, but there is still interest in it as a non-title fight with casual and hardcore fans.

However, Scott reckons Joshua will succumb to the "God-given" power of Wilder, just as every opponent he has faced aside from Fury has over the years. Wilder recently returned to the ring against Robert Helenius, viciously knocking him out within a round to set up a return to world title contention with the WBC.
