The interviewer further asked him if he would accept Wilder as his first opponent in the coming year. In response, Joshua did not hesitate while saying, “Whatever. I’m easy. I’m on whatever.”

Moreover, when asked about his thoughts on Wilder’s performance against Helenius, he responded saying, “Good. Not too bad. He’s back. He’s good, he’s done well. You know, he’s done what he’s supposed to do.”
