Hearn suggested to Wilder's promoter that Wilder should fight Joshua in August

Shelley Finkel, promoter of former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, said that his ward is ready to fight Anthony Joshua in the UK or in the Middle East. Finkel also said that Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn offered to organize a fight between Wilder and Anthony Joshua in August.

"I hope the fight happens. We always wanted to fight Joshua. Deontay is ready to take this fight. We are ready to make it in Britain and in the Middle East. Hearn said that he offered me a fight with Joshua in August," said Finkel in an interview with ESPN.

Recall, in his last fight Joshua knocked out Francis Ngannou in the second round.
