Robert Garcia claims that the fight with Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) will be a challenge for Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) and adds that the power of the punch need not be the element in which the American would have an advantage.

"It's going to be a great fight," AJ's former trainer predicts. - I never felt Wilder's punch, but he probably hits hard, but Joshua doesn't hit weak either. People think that Wilder's strength is crazy, that he hits a lot harder than Joshua. But I'm not sure about that."

“I don't know Wilder's strength, but I know Joshua's strength. Anthony has a very heavy hand. Incredibly heavy. For me, this is one of those fights where the one who hits first and wants to win more wins, ”added Robert Garcia.

The fight between Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua is expected to take place in December-January in Saudi Arabia. Before that, on August 12, the Briton will have a rematch with Dillian Whyte (29-3, 19 KOs).
