Anthony Joshua warned not to rush into fight with hard-hitting Deontay Wilder

Anthony Joshua's former coach Robert Garcia has warned him not to rush into a fight with Deontay Wilder.

The former world heavyweight champions didn't fight each other when they held all four belts between them, but fans are still keen to see them square up this year after a collective five losses in their last eight fights. They are both heavy-hitters, which would leave to an entertaining bout, but neither could afford a knockout loss.

And Joshua's ex-trainer, who coached him once for his Oleksandr Usyk rematch last August before the Brit decided to move on to a different camp, believes he should approach his comeback slowly. The former champion is expected to fight twice this year before finishing off with a super-fight against the likes of Wilder or his long-time rival Tyson Fury.
