"He Needs This Challenge." Lennox Lewis Recommends Opponent for Joshua

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has proposed an opponent for fellow Briton Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs).

The legendary boxer believes Joshua should face American powerhouse Deontay Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs).

"He needs this challenge. He’s always up for challenges. When Deontay Wilder came and challenged Anthony Joshua, and Joshua didn’t accept it, Fury went to America and took on Deontay. He’s always ready to take on such challenges," Lewis told IFL TV.

In September, Anthony Joshua suffered a fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, while in June, Deontay Wilder was stopped via TKO in the fifth round by Zhang Zhilei.
