Wilder: Joshua is trying to seek Parker

Deontey Wilder says that he will not be very upset and just try to meet the strongest rivals possible, if Anthony Joshua for any reason refuses to fight him in a unification battle.

"I don't think they are trying to make a negotiation at this point," Wilder said. "I think they are trying to seek Parker. They got him on his agenda.

"[He is] their top priority which is fine. If they don't want to fight at this time, that it is ok. We're not [going to] chase [anybody]. I'm not chasing Joshua. If Joshua [doesn't] want to fight, then that's fine. If they want to have one fight apiece, and fight me next, that is fine.

"[Me vs. Joshua] is a great fight, it is one of the biggest fights in the world and everyone wants it. The state of boxing, the heavyweight division, we can finally say it is back, it is exciting, it's on fire and to make it even more lit, and even more exciting is going to be the moment when me and Joshua stand in the middle of the ring.

"All the eyes around the world will be watching. We will stop the world in a moment in time to see once and for all, who is the heavyweight champion of the world."
