To nthony Joshua revealed yesterday that he is prepared to defend his three world title against Tyson Fury at Wembley Stadium in April if the American Deontay Wilder, World Boxing Council heavyweight champion, refuses to sign a contract to unify the division.
Joshua must first rebuff the challenge of Russian Alexander Povetkin at the National Stadium on September 22, but believes the fight would not be enough.
Although Joshua's burning ambition is to unify the entire division, by fighting Wilder, Fury is also a target. "I do not see any reason why the Wilder fight would not happen next. It's like telling a kid there is no Santa, they will not believe it. I do not believe this fight should not happen next if I get past Povetkin. "
" We were close to few times of getting it done. "I've already signed my part of the contract. I'm doing business, and then talking about it. Wilder can come on Sept. 22. If he wants to get in the ring, that's no problem, but he is not getting in the ring unless he signs a contract. You're not going to make a name out of this. "
As for world champion Fury, who has returned to action after 30 months on the sidelines after defeating Wladimir Klitschko, Joshua added:" There is no stopping him from stepping up. the Wilder fight did not happen, I would happily fight Fury [in April] I would not happily fight Whyte (at Wembley in April 2019) because it's not big enough.
