WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) believes he is on another level when compared to IBF champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs).

The two Olympic medal winners would love to collide in the near future - in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest fights to make in boxing.

Wilder knocked out undefeated Gerald Washington in February and wants to have at least two more fights before the year is over. The WBC recently ordered him to make a mandatory defense against Bermane Stiverne, who Wilder beat for the championship in January 2015.

In of the biggest fights scheduled to take place in the first six months of the year, Joshua will defend his title against former division ruler Wladimir Klitschko on April 29th - before an expected crowd of 90,000 fans at Wembley. The vacant WBA, IBO titles will also be at stake.

Should Joshua win, and walk away with three world titles, there will be a lot of debate on who actually deserves the heavyweight throne - Wilder or Joshua.

While a win over Klitschko would trump any opponent on Wilder's record - the former champion is now 41-years-old, coming off a loss to Tyson Fury and he's been inactive since November of 2015.

"I definitely feel like I'm on a whole 'nother level than Joshua," Wilder told Fighthype.com. "I've been in this game for a while now. I'm very experienced. I think I've seen every style to see, you know, the major styles that I need to see.

"I think I've seen it, I've learned it, and that's what allows me to adjust in the ring and do my thing. I definitely feel and know that I'm in another league of my own when you compare the two of us. "

A fight between Joshua and Wilder would be guaranteed fireworks with a likely knockout ending.

"I mean, if you look at Joshua, Klitschko, and [Joseph] Parker, Parker has the WBO belt, and you take those three and put me up on a chart and say which one would be the most exciting fight, a lot of people would think the Joshua fight would be the most exciting fight out of the three and I think I agree," Wilder said.
