Mike Tyson already has an idea for Anthony Joshua after 11 December. “I wanna see him fight Deontay,” the former heavyweight world champion told DJ Whoo Kid, Boxing News reports – referring to former WBC champion Deontay Wilder.
On Joshua's fight with Tyson Fury at the Principality Stadium, Tyson said: “Tyson's always been known to handle pressure well, but it's going to be interesting to watch this fight.”
Wilder himself is linked with the Cardiff undercard: fights with Jai Opetaia or with Rico Verhoeven, who says he has accepted an offer, are being discussed. None of them has been confirmed.
