Wilder: "90 Percent Sure the Fight with Joshua Will Happen"

Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) commented on a potential fight against Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs).

"People will always want to see this fight, no matter what. I put it at 90 percent that it will happen. I've always said it would be a pity if we never fought. It only takes one fight, one night. June 1st will be that night, that fight. Deontay Wilder will knock out Zhang Zhilei, and the world will go crazy. And then we'll be back to Wilder vs. Joshua. Fans will want it again," said Wilder.

Deontay Wilder's next match against Zhang Zhilei (26-2-1, 21 KOs) will take place on June 1st in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at the 5 vs 5 tournament between promotional companies Matchroom and Queensberry. Reflecting on the matchup, Deontay emphasized that he sees this fight as his last chance.
