Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder believes Anthony Joshua looks "broken" going into his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk tomorrow night.
The ex-WBC champion reigned for half a decade with the other heavyweight belt, during which time Tyson Fury picked up the unified WBO, WBA and WBC belts from Wladimir Klitschko. But when he was forced out of the sport for three years, the belts were spread out again, and it was up to Joshua to unify them again with wins over the likes of Charles Martin, Joseph Parker and Klitschko.
And despite fans clamouring to see an undisputed fight between the two heavyweights, Wilder ultimately opted for a trilogy against the returning Fury, who relieved him of the belt in 2020. Having felt the sting of losing his title despite holding the favourite tag and entering a rematch as an underdog challenger, Wilder is in a unique position to understand Joshua's situation.
