Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) wants to face fellow unbeaten world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder next, rather than Alexander Povetkin, the British boxer told the BBC on Tuesday.

Povetkin is getting up there in age so I doubt he’ll want to wait. IMO he has a legit chance of spoiling this by beating Joshua.

I thought Uni trumps Mando with the WBA???

Get out the way P. we are talking a real fight and a unification trumps a mandatory.

How does this guy keep getting huge opportunities after testing positive a few times? His handlers must have deep pockets!

Hoeshua is shook. He wont fight Wilder this year.

Unification trumps mando with wba so fk that drug cheat

Good on AJ for trying to give us the fight that money paying fans want to see.

unifications trump mandos

they need to stop with the excuses

Joshua has the time to make the Wilder fight. WBA even said fight wilder Next or they are enforcing Povetkin.

All this implies is that Joshua does not want Povetkin nor does he expect to sign a fight with Wilder over the next month.
