Now Anthony Joshua has regained his belts albeit through move and box, the chance of a unification with KO Specialist WBC Champion Deontay Wilder is warming.
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman says: “Well it’s back to the drawing board. Deontay Wilder has been ready to fight Anthony Joshua for a couple of years. Now Joshua has won his belts back there is the opportunity for a unification, and to have one champion in the heavyweight division.
“Joshua’s victory was a win. He prepared to fight twelve rounds coming out with the belts and he did.
“It was not an entertaining crowd pleasing fight, but convincing for Joshua. He was smart and didn’t let emotion get in the way.
“Deontay Wilder is unquestionably the best heavyweight. His recent fight and one punch KO puts that in perspective.
He has forty two wins, one draw, forty one KO’s, ten defenses. He is always willing to face whoever is the best to fight him, and I’m just very proud of Deontay Wilder!”
