Eddie Hearn, promoter for heavyweight Anthony Joshua, says there is no fear in matching his boxing against former WBC world champion Deontay Wilder.

This past Saturday night in Poland, heavyweight contender Martin Bakole blew away Ihor Shevadzutskyi in three quick rounds. After the fight, Bakole called for fights with some of the biggest names in his division.

Anthony Joshua could end up fighting three times in 2023 if all goes according to plan. Fresh off an April unanimous decision win against Jermaine Franklin, Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn intends for Joshua to fight again both this summer and winter.

On Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder was ringside to watch the lightweight showdown between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia.

A HEAVYWEIGHT showdown between Deontay Wilder and Martin Bakole ‘has to happen’, according to promoter Ben Shalom. Bakole drew a line under nearly a year out of the ring on Saturday night by stopping Ihor Shevadzutskyi in three rounds in Poland.

Shelly Finkel, co-manager of heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder, says his fighter would be willing to travel overseas to face fellow former world champion Anthony Joshua in 2023.

Malik Scott, the head trainer for Deontay Wilder, believes the hard punching heavyweight would take out fellow former world champion Anthony Joshua within three rounds of action.

Eddie Hearn has revealed the working plan for Anthony Joshua’s 2023 schedule. The promoter of the former heavyweight champion said his company, Matchroom, will look to close a deal for Joshua to return to the ring in December—or nine months from his win over Jermaine Franklin earlier this month—in the Middle East in a “big fight” involving either WBC titlist Tyson Fury or fellow former titlist Deontay Wilder.

Malik Scott, head trainer for heavyweight Deontay Wilder, would love to see his man collide with fellow former world champion Anthony Joshua. Joshua returned to the ring earlier this month, when he picked up a twelve round unanimous decision over Jermaine Franklin.

Malik Scott, the head trainer of former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, believes Anthony Joshua has become 'gun-shy' since suffering a knockout loss at the hands of Andy Ruiz back in 2019.
