Deontay Wilder is confident that a fight with Anthony Joshua will happen. The former WBC world champion lost to Joseph Parker on points to hamper a clash with the Brit – which was originally signed for March this year.
However, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is expected to make his comeback against Zhilei Zhang on the 1st of June. A one-of-a-kind boxing event was announced this week as a squad of fighters representing Queensberry Promotions take on boxers from Matchroom in a unique five vs. five event in Saudi Arabia.
Much to the surprise of many boxing fans, Wilder – who was a long-time rival of Eddie Hearn’s prized fighter Joshua – will represent Matchroom.
A win over Zhang in Saudi Arabia could evoke a possible showdown with ‘AJ,’ with the American believing it still could happen in the future.
