Deontay Wilder had a clear message for Anthony Joshua following his win against Derek Chisora.
Wilder proved some of his doubters wrong as he was able to claim bragging rights against fellow veteran Chisora with a split decision victory at The O2 Arena in London.
It was a scrappy affair between the two men, with Wilder earning two knockdowns across the course of the 12 rounds, as the judges scored the bout 115-111, 115-113 and 112-115 to secure the narrow victory for the American.
Speculation has now begun over who ‘The Bronze Bomber’ may look to target next, with a clash against unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk or WBO titleholder Fabio Wardley seen as two potential options.
It seems as if Wilder may have another target in mind though, after he crossed paths with long-term rival Joshua as he left the ring on Saturday.
‘The Bronze Bomber’ made his intentions known, as in a video captured by Boxing King Media he called Joshua out with a three word message.
“Let’s do it.”
The aftermath was then captured by DAZN, as Wilder revealed what he thought about the coming together with Joshua.
“He’s scared as f**k. Let’s do it.”
Wilder and Joshua were linked to a showdown for a number of years when they were each reigning world heavyweight champions, but for one reason or another, it was never able to come to fruition.
While both men may now be past their best, it would still be a big fight for the division, but for now it seems that Joshua’s focus is on landing a battle against countryman Tyson Fury, who himself knows what it is like to share the ring with Wilder after their epic trilogy.
