“5 Years too Late”: Fans Not Excited by Deontay Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua Reports

Speculation surrounding the much-anticipated heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder has reached a fever pitch over the past few weeks. The former heavyweight champions will potentially face each other in December as part of a speculated super event. The event would also pit current champion Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury against each other giving fans two super fights in one night.

Both Joshua and Wilder have had a rocky journey over the past few years. Since Wilder’s third fight with Fury, he has only fought once beating Robert Helenius with a KO last year. Joshua on the other hand last fought against Jermaine Franklin and won by unanimous decision. Now it seems like talks for this fight are progressing as it was recently revealed that ‘AJ’s’ promoter Eddie Hearn is currently in Saudi Arabia for negotiations.

Joshua has already claimed that this fight is close to getting done. Moreover, it seems that fans can finally get to see the two heavyweights clash inside the ring. For years, negotiations and promotional hurdles have prevented the clash from coming to fruition. However, recent reports indicate that the pieces are finally falling into place. Despite this, the fans do not seem too excited to see this super fight.
