Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua spoke out about the words of Deontay Wilder, who earlier questioned his fighting spirit.
Recall, earlier it became known that Joshua and Wilder will participate in the boxing night, on December 23 in Saudi Arabia. On that day, Anthony will hold a bout against Swede Otto Wallin, and Deontay will enter the ring with New Zealand's Joseph Parker.
The Sun quotes Joshua as saying:
Who the f--- is he? He’s a boxer, not a psychologist. The boy has had 50 fights and he fought Jason Gavern in his 30-something fight, I probably fought him in my twelfth. We are different, my identity is strong. If they’re looking for weaknesses and gaps, then they need to stop looking over here because I’m solid.
Joshua last fought in August 2023, defeating Robert Helenius by knockout in the seventh round. He has 26 wins (23 by knockout) and three losses on his record.
Wilder last fought against Robert Helenius in October 2022. This confrontation was stopped in the first round and ended in Deontay's favor by knockout. He has 43 wins and two losses on his record.
