Wilder: 'I always thought Joshua was mentally weak'

Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder commented on numerous statements Otto Wallina about psychological problems Anthony Joshua.

“I always thought Joshua was mentally weak, it didn’t start now. In past interviews, I have repeatedly said that Anthony has a very weak psychology, especially when it comes to a fight with me. It’s no secret that the media wrote a lot about why our fight didn’t take place when he demanded 50 million to fight me.

Anthony learned many new lessons. I hope he learns them and turns them into his blessing. So when the time comes for our fight, he will have the motivation and determination to do what he has to do, no matter what happens,” Bad Left Hook quotes Wilder as saying.

Let us remind you that Joshua and Wallin will fight on December 23 in Riyadh, and Wilder will fight Joseph Parker as part of the same boxing evening. It is expected that in case of victories, Anthony and Deontay will have a long-awaited fight in 2024.
