Deontay Wilder would welcome an undisputed title fight with Anthony
Welp @andreward I guess this is what not wanting smoke looks like. Your guy PERSONALLY asked for a tune up before re-entering the ring w/ the #KING style wise, mental and physically I want all the smoke.

The American heavyweight is expected to confirm his next WBC title fight in the next few weeks after Tyson Fury decided not to take an immediate rematch following their draw in December.

But Wilder remains open to a blockbuster battle with Joshua for all four world titles, provided that a favourable deal can be reached between both champions.

“When the conditions are right, Deontay would love to fight Anthony Joshua,” Finkel told Sky Sports.
Dominic Breazeale has suggested he could be in contention to receive a fight against Wilder, having originally been named as the WBC’s mandatory challenger after a win over Eric Molina in November 2017.
The Californian was recently ordered to battle Dillian Whyte for the WBC interim belt, but hopes to receive a shot at Wilder instead.
“Of course I want to fight for the world title, but at the same time, I understand the fans want to see me and Dillian Whyte fight,” Breazeale told Sky Sports. “I’m a fan pleaser and I’m ready to fight.
“My preference would be Wilder, of course, definitely. World title shot. It’s everything I’ve been waiting for, for the last 15 months.”
Wilder is due to return on May 18, with a possible venue of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, while Joshua has announced his US debut against Jarrell Miller at Madison Square Garden on June 1.
Here are some feeds from the possible fight:
@andreward. would school @bronzebomber be a ppv as well probably. i like wilder but he drew with and lets be honest lost to Fury. after a 3 year lay off. Aj would demolish wilder within 8 rounds

Ur crazy! If wilder can land & drop fury twice, the heavyweight with by far the best movement, what do u think he'll do to someone like AJ who has zero head movement. He catches him and KOS him within 4 IMO
