DEONTAY WILDERN has been told that he can only fight Anthony Joshua, with all other fighters "irrelevant".
After consecutive defeats to Tyson Fury (33) and the WBC, former champion is still pondering his future.
Deontay Wilder was told that he must fight Anthony Joshua
Bermane Stiverne, twice beaten by Wilder, urged his opponent to stay for AJ.
He believes that even though Joshua (32), loses to Oleksandr Uzyk (35), a fight against Wilder is still possible.
Planet Sport, 43-year-old Stiverne said that Joshua is the only fight that would make him money.
"Aside from that, I don’t believe there’s any other fight that would make him relevant."

"It all depends on Joshua's return. If he beats Usyk, it's worth it. Otherwise, it's not worth the effort."
"I take it back, it would have been worth it because both men are coming off a loss so it would have been worth it to see it.
"Other then that, I don't think anyone." Wilder has nothing to prove to anyone in my book.
"Ever since he took the title from me he did an amazing job holding on to it for five or six more years, and now Tyson Fury is his turn."
