Anthony Joshua SHOCKED Tyson Fury WITH AN APPEAL BEFORE THE FIGHT / Deontay Wilder - Andy Ruiz FIGHT

Anthony Joshua SHOCKED Tyson Fury WITH AN APPEAL BEFORE THE FIGHT / Deontay Wilder - Andy Ruiz FIGHT Shelly Finkel, the manager of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, claims that the American boxer could not hold back tears when he learned about the breakdown of the megafight with Anthony Joshua. In 2019, the boxers, who at that time owned all the prestigious titles in heavyweight, were close to a grand unification, but their fight broke down. Finkel blames Joshua's team for this and says that Wilder even cried when he learned this sad news. "I was talking to Deontay on the phone when it turned out that they would not fight with us. He was so upset that he started crying. I bet Joshua didn't cry. If he cried, it was only out of relief. Deontay told me on the phone, "Oh no, I gave him everything he wanted." Joshua said he would fight if he got $50 million. We offered him 50 million for a fight in Las Vegas, but he refused. Joshua didn't want to fight us. You know, that's his prerogative. But he can't tell the fans that he didn't want to fight Deontay," Finkel said. Shelly Finkel, the manager of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, assured that the American boxer wants to fight Anthony Joshua before the end of this year. "We could arrange this fight in the summer. If both fighters do not lose and are not injured, then the fight can take place, period. But you can write like this: Anthony Joshua will try to turn aside in the summer in the direction of a duel with Dillian White. I will go further and say that now we need to schedule Deontay's fight with Joshua for November or December. Joshua's team wants easy fights just to get back in the ring, and I don't blame them. Then they want to fight with Dillian White, and after that, as they say, they will fight with Fury or with us. I didn't think much about it before, but now I think Joshua is concerned about the fight with Deontay Wilder - I don't want to say the word "afraid". There is no other explanation for his actions. And if he fights with Fury, then Tyson will not sweep him away as it would have happened after a powerful blow from Deontay. If they want two fights - in April, and then in June or July with Dillian White - after that Joshua can fight with Deontay," Finkel said. Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin spoke about the decision of former world champion Anthony Joshua to fight American Jermaine Franklin instead. "I'm not upset about Franklin. It will be good if he gets this fight, but, of course, I also wanted to fight Joshua. But this is boxing. Some fights you get, some you don't. But I feel that I deserved this fight. I could give Joshua a very good fight. I think I could beat him. Probably, his team also knows about it, so they are now looking for someone else. Maybe Joshua didn't want to fight me because I'm left-handed. But I think that even if I were Orthodox, they would know that I am a good fighter, that he will have a lot of problems with me. I guess they're not looking at me right now. Joshua is coming back after two defeats, so it makes sense for him to fight someone a little easier," Wallin said. Former World heavyweight champion American Deontay Wilder still believes that the fight against Briton Anthony Joshua is the biggest he can get. Therefore, Deontay is sure that sooner or later he and "AJ" will meet in the ring. "I'm still in business, Joshua is also still in business. As long as we are both in business and still fighting, there will always be such an opportunity. Every time I talk to people, they ask me: "When are you going to fight Joshua?" This is the biggest fight. So it was before and so it is now. This is one of the confrontations that I am constantly asked about. It's not about what if, but when. It just has to happen at the right time," Wilder said. Former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker believes that he will be able to defeat the formidable American knockout Deontay Wilder if he ever gets the opportunity to share the ring with him. "I'm going to beat Wilder. It's going to be difficult. Listen, if he cuts you with his right hand, you will fall. But you just need to act competently with Deontay Wilder. You have to have good mobility, as demonstrated by Tyson Fury. Or you need to force a fight on him. Deontay Wilder is a dangerous opponent, but if I get the chance to fight him, I will beat him," Parker said in an interview with the Boxxer promotion company. A well-known insider and ESPN journalist Mike Coppinger reports that, despite all the rumors, the teams of former world heavyweight champions American Deontay Wilder and Mexican Andy Ruiz Jr. are negotiating to organize a fight.
