Anthony Joshua Fires Back at Deontay Wilder's Dig in Heated Exchange

The Verbal Sparring Continues

Anthony Joshua has wasted no time in responding to Deontay Wilder's recent dig at the British boxing star. In a fiery exchange, Joshua dismissed Wilder's comments, stating, "Who the f*** is he... he's not a psychologist."

The Battle of Words

As both heavyweights announced separate bouts scheduled for December 23rd in Riyadh, tensions escalated. Wilder took a swipe at Joshua's identity, questioning whether he would face another defeat. He claimed, "Eddie Hearn built Anthony Joshua, he wasn’t born a champion, he was made a champion."

Joshua's Strong Identity

Unfazed by Wilder's remarks, Joshua hit back, asserting his own strength and resilience. Referring to his extensive boxing record, Joshua emphasized, "The boy has had 50 fights and he fought Jason Gavern in his 30-something fight, I probably fought him in my 12th. We are different, my identity is strong."

Wilder's Counterattack

Wilder, however, continued to defend his own abilities and expressed his frustration at missed opportunities. He stated, "They did an amazing job of promoting him and getting him to the top. I would’ve been the undisputed heavyweight world champion many years ago if I had the opportunities he was given."

The Anticipation Continues

While the verbal sparring continues, fans eagerly await the highly anticipated bout between Joshua and Wilder. In the meantime, Joshua is set to face Swedish boxer Otto Wallin, while Wilder ends his long layoff with a fight against Joesph Parker.
