August 12 in London Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) will face Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs). Team Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) also intends to cheer for AJ's victory, hoping for a duel with the Englishman in a few months.
"It's going to be a tough fight for Joshua," Bronze Bomber manager Shelley Finkel told Dan Raphael. “I think that Joshua is very brave that he went for it, risking a fight with Deontay.”
“We hope Joshua wins. He must, but this is a dangerous fight. White can still hit hard,” Finkel added.
Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder is expected to take place in Saudi Arabia in late December or early January.
