Wilder's Manager Sets Condition for Joshua Fight

Shelly Finkel, the manager of former world heavyweight champion American Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), states that a fight against British boxer Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) is still feasible under one condition.

"I don't know what Joshua will do next, but if Deontay beats Zhilei, that fight will be next. I don't want to look too far ahead, as we have a tough challenge in the form of Zhang; he is formidable against anyone, and we must get through this. I think Deontay will do it," said Finkel. Wilder and Zhilei will meet in Saudi Arabia on June 1st, where Deontay will represent Eddie Hearn's team, and Zhilei will represent Frank Warren's team.
