Wilder to Joshua: “I’m ready to fight. It will be a disaster if we don’t leave a mark on history.”

Former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) expressed his readiness to fight with the former holder of several titles Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs).

“Anthony, you hear it first hand - I’m here, I’m ready to fight. I heard some of what your promoter said about my last fight, which didn't last long. That I haven’t fought in a year and that he doesn’t know if I want to fight.

I'm letting you know right now, right here, that I'm ready to fight. It will be a great disaster if we never enter the ring and leave our mark on history.

I want when people think about great and classic fights, they think about ours. To do this, we have to get into the ring, that’s the whole point,” Wilder said in a video message.
