After securing a decisive victory by knockout against Robert Helenius of Finland at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday, two-time heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has officially announced his forthcoming bout against Deontay Wilder from the United States.
During a post-match news conference following his victory against Helenius on Saturday, Joshua officially announced Wilder as his forthcoming adversary and expressed his unwavering determination to defeat him by stating, “I am currently fully dedicated to delivering a resounding blow to Wilder’s cranium.”
“Anytime is a good time to fight. It’s only a fight it doesn’t matter who it is. It could have been Wilder eight years ago and it could have been Wilder now, it doesn’t matter. It is what it is at the end of the day.
“It’s only a fight and boxing wins so roll on really. There is no worry to me. I’m just happy that we can get the fight going on. I think people appreciate that I’m doing my best to keep heavyweight boxing on the map.
“We gonna fight and what will be will be. I can’t look back and say what would be or what would have been. I’m just focused on fighting him now, that’s it. That’s what I’m focused on now.
“I’m not trying to compare what would have been, it’s a weakness. I’m just focused on smashing his head in now.”
