Deontay Wilder said that he would fight Anthony Joshua by Mike Tyson, and not just retire because legend has it that he would love' to.

MIKE TYSON would like to see Deontay wilder fight Anthony Joshua before he hangs his gloves.

Wilder, 36 years old, said in December that he was considering retiring after losing to Tyson Fury in October.

Tyson believes he has more to offer and should return to the ring, even though he was stripped of his title as world champion two years ago.

Tyson stated to Club Shay Shay that Deontay Wilder ought to be fought.

"He'll do good, I just don't want him to get discouraged.

"He should be happy and ready to fight someone else immediately.

"I would love to witness that fight (with Joshua)," yes.

They're going to be winging. They won't be wearing much style; they'll be winging."

Wilder was often linked to Joshua fights when they were both world champions. However, a deal couldn't be reached.

Fury believes that Wilder would eliminate AJ in three rounds if a fight were to take place now.

The American could fight Derek Chisora instead, a Matchroom boxer who wants to face Wilder.

Joseph Parker also wants to fight the Bronze Bomber, a Kiwi fighter who is determined beat an American on American soil.

Wilder has many options. He could fight Joshua again to be a world champion, but he must win his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
