Deontay Wilder echoes Eddie Hearn comments on Anthony Joshua after Tyson Fury blow

Deontay Wilder has revealed that talks over a fight against Anthony Joshua are progressing well, despite the delay of a Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk clash. Wilder echoed recent comments made by Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn, telling ESNews: "That’s looking very promising, very promising."

He added: "I also got other offers as well from overseas so nobody needs to worry about who I fight because my life is very, very great, understand that. Don’t worry about who I fight because I could fight anybody in the world, they would love to see me come to their country, and love to see me in the States."

The eagerly awaited heavyweight showdown between Wilder and Joshua is still set to take place in Saudi Arabia at the end of the year. The original plan was for the event to feature a blockbuster double-header, with Fury taking on Usyk but the undisputed clash between the pair has been delayed once again, leaving Wilder and Joshua's fight as the sole focus, reports the Mirror.
