He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the only way Wilder-Joshua will fall through is if Skill Challenge Promotion of Saudi Arabia fails to deliver the necessary funds to make the event a reality.
He added that Anthony Joshua is so hell-bent on fighting Wilder, so it surely has to happen.
His words, “I think it will be finalized in two or three weeks. I’ve been to Saudi Arabia twice to negotiate this fight. I’ve had two meetings, three meetings in London. I’m not doing it for banter. My instructions from Anthony Joshua [are] I want to fight Deontay Wilder.
[Wilder manager] Shelly Finkel, Wilder, as far as I’m hearing from them directly, they are in. We are in. We just need to sign a contract and go through the procedures to get that done.”If it doesn’t happen, I think [Joshua will] fight in December. But I’m not spinning that fight. All of our efforts have been for that fight.
Honestly I wouldn’t waste my time flying all around the world trying to pretend that that’s the fight we want. That is the fight we want. It’s a massive fight, massive money, and that is what I have been instructed to deliver for AJ. We are positive. Like I said, we are in. If it can be delivered, we are in.”
