DEONTAY WILDER was urged by his sparring partner, to fight Anthony Joshua next season.
Joshua was warned that Tyson Fury, the only other heavyweight on Earth, is not capable of taking Wilder’s shots.

American Jim Torney (34), helped Fury with sparring for two weeks before his epic trilogy fight with Fury.
Wilder scored two knockdowns during round 4. He was defeated three times, but continued fighting until the end. Wilder was finally eliminated in round 11.
He will be undergoing surgery for a broken hand next week, but he is expected to return to work by May 2022.
Torney, Wilder's long-time training partner, chose AJ to be his perfect opponent upon Wilder’s return.
SunSport quoted him as saying: "I would love for the Anthony Joshua fight.
"His team, D, know best for him. But I believe they will probably try to make that fight happen sometime."
He'll be ready, regardless of whether he fights first for AJ and then does a comeback fight.
"His team will decide the best thing to do, but that would make for an amazing fight for the fans."
Torney, who matches Fury's 6'9in and 19-stone frame perfectly, felt the power of Wilder's right arm firsthand.
In their 2018 original, The Gypsy King twice escaped the mat and won the rematch last year with a seven-to-nine win.
The heavyweight stars saved the best for last, with their final trilogy decider becoming an instant classic.
Fury rose from the floor again to win the match, and Torney said that Britain's unbeaten WBC champion might be the only man capable.
He stated, "I don’t believe anyone takes them other than Fury."
"And that's because you have to look at people's past experiences. Fury has risen from the past. AJ is a tough, tough guy.
"He stood up against Andy Ruiz. I believe he could get up, but I don't know if he can weather the storm for another seven to eight rounds.
"He didn’t prove that he could against Ruiz but he’s a tough guy and you have to give credit to him.
"But I don’t see anyone who has proven themselves capable of getting up from the canvas against a guy such as Wilder, except Fury."
Joshua, 31 years old, was defeated by Oleksandr Uzyk, 34 in September. He is now scheduled for a rematch against the Ukrainian.
Fury, 33 years old, will now be given an order to face the winner of Dillian Whyte (33), and Otto Wallin (30), who fight at end-of-the month.
'BEST IS YET TO COME FROM WILDER'
Wilder, now 35, faces another rebuilding job. However, his reputation was saved after a courageous and gutsy performance against Fury.
He did it under Malik Scott's guidance, who was the coach he knocked out in 2014.
Torney, who is 4-0 in his career, supported the Bronze Bomber (who has 41 KOs and 42 wins) to return better than ever and quake any threat of retiring.
He stated: "I know that a lot of guys will say this as they lead up to big fights. That this is the best camp they have ever had."
"But D was only 230 pounds in camp, and he looks young athletically.
"So yeah, I think Wilder has the best future."
