Anthony Joshua is finally intrigued.

Recently, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury went a full 12 rounds in an amazing heavyweight contest. Fury seemingly bested Wilder technically for the majority of the fight, however, Wilder landed the only two knockdowns of the contest. “The Bronze Bomber’s” second knockdown very well could’ve been ruled a knockout.

However, Fury made it to his feet and was able to survive. When it was all said and done, the judges’ scorecards turned in a controversial split decision draw. A rematch is now being discussed for the spring of next year. But it looks like IBF, WBA, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua wants in on the mix.

His promoter, Eddie Hearn, spoke to The Sun recently and expressed his desire for a fight against Deontay Wilder specifically. Hearn went as far as saying he thinks Joshua would knock Wilder clean out (via Boxing Scene):

“Joshua would be a lot easier to hit (than Fury) but I also think Joshua would take (Wilder) off his feet and knock him spark out,” Hearn said. “If Josh fights Tyson it’s going to be the most amazing event but it’s also going to be quite an awkward night.

“If he fights Wilder it’s going to be X-rated because someone’s head is getting taken off – If that goes 12 rounds, Joshua against Wilder, I’m quitting the sport. Because that’s ridiculous, that’s not possible. We want Wilder. That’s the difference.

“I think if it was man on man and there were no belts, nothing, I think Joshua would probably prefer Fury. There’s always been the ‘oh he was the champ, you won his belts’ and stuff like that so maybe that’s in his head a little bit but he wants to be undisputed.’

“I think in the back of his mind, he wants to do a job on Fury as well. He wants to do a job on both of them and he’s going to violently do that.”

Wilder had been chasing a fight against Joshua for months before accepting a fight with Fury. However, the two sides could never come to an agreement, and most boxing pundits blame Joshua’s side for the hold up. Now, Joshua seems eager to get the fight done, and it’s likely because he spotted some major flaws in Wilder’s game against Fury.

Deontay Wilder uncorked a hellacious knockdown in Los Angeles’ Staples Center last weekend.

Wilder was defending his WBC heavyweight title against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. In the 12th round, Wilder got off a spectacular combination that sent the Englishman crashing down to the canvas.

Many believed Wilder had picked up the knockout win, but somehow, despite looking like he had initially been rendered unconscious, Fury made it to his feet. He was able to stand toe-to-toe with Wilder in order to finish the fight. In the end, everything about the contest was controversial.

The majority of viewers believed Fury, despite being knocked down twice and nearly being finished, out-boxed the American. Also, there’s criticism that the referee didn’t count fast enough when Fury was nearly knocked out. The assertion that the fight should’ve immediately been waved off has also been made.

Wilder has certainly given his position on the matter. After seeing Fury’s eyes roll back into his own head, “The Bronze Bomber” believes the fight should’ve been waved off (via Boxing Scene):

“We seen what he could do, what he was able to do, especially with that get-up,” Wilder said. “That still surprises me. I seen this guy’s eyes roll slowly in the back of his head. And many people felt that should’ve been waved off. Nine out of 10 refs would’ve waved that off.

“I’ve seen many times where they’ve done waved that off. Look at my brother, Malik Scott, when he fought Dereck Chisora. Malik was on his knees at nine, stood up at 10 and they waved it off immediately. I felt like the count was very slow. I felt like there was a lot of delays in there.”

Best In The Game

Wilder clarified he’d stop complaining because of the impact the fight had. The knockout hitter believes he and Fury proved they are clearly the best heavyweights in boxing as of right now:

“But I’m not gonna complain, because we put the heavyweight division on notice, and we did it with me and Fury. It’s not about no other guys or nothing like that. Me and Fury did it like true champions. We came together, we conversated amongst each other and we got this fight done, without involving all the other extra stuff.

“Because we are the best in the division and we wanted to prove to each other who is the best in the heavyweight division. We came in and did that, and it was amazing, and I’m ready to do it again.”
