Wilder said who he will fight if the fight with Joshua fails

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 17, 2023, 12:34 a.m.

Former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder said he would fight with the mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou, if his long-awaited megafight is against Anthony Joshua will fall apart.

Let us remind you that on December 23, at a boxing evening in Riyadh, Joshua will meet with Otto Wallin, and Wilder will meet with Joseph Parker. In case of victory, the American and the British will fight each other on March 9 in the same place.

“It will be either Joshua or Ngannou, or it could be both. Although, it seems to me, one of them. Of course, everything could turn out in such a way that I fight with both, but if we speak for sure, then I will definitely fight with one of them.
