Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder stated that the team of another ex-division leader Anthony Joshua interferes with their battle.
āJoshua was offered 50 million dollars, we provided him with this money, but he did not agree to fight. The only way you can ignore such a proposal is to ridicule it, turn it into a joke, try to show the public that it is not real.
This is a shitty moment. He was offered 50 million. So Joshua's team doesn't allow him to speak much on his own behalf, and when he does speak, it's always the wrong things, things that his camp doesn't like. And then theyĀ have to explain his statements.
Itās his managers who are keeping Anthony from fighting me because heās a fighter. We've been waiting for this fight for six years. But there comes a point when we are simply told: āForget about it.ā Many times Joshua wanted to fight, took the fight, but his managers didnāt want it because Anthony brings money to the company. If he falls, then the business will fall too,ā Wilder is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
