The Dream Fight is one step closer. Anthony Joshua: Agree's to UK unification fight

June 12, 2018
Deontay Wilder claims he has agreed to fight Anthony Joshua next in the UK, and says it is now up to the Briton's camp to finalise the deal.

WBC champion Wilder took to social media on Monday night to announce to fans that he had agreed to travel to the UK to challenge WBA (Super), WBO and IBF title-holder Joshua to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Wilder, who offered Joshua $50m to take the fight in the USA, says that offer is still on the table.

He tweeted: "BREAKING NEWS for all you Anthony Joshua fans... The $50m offer for him to fight me next in the US is still available.

"Today I even agreed to their offer to fight Joshua next in the UK. If he prefers the fight in the UK, the ball is in their court. It's up to them to choose."



Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn had waited so long to hear from the American WBC champ that they had almost given up on a 2018 bout and started focusing on mandatory challenger Aleksandar Povetkin.

But Wilder insists he is ready to accept the current, reduced, offer and make the trip across the pond to decide an undisputed heavyweight king. And Hearn wants to strike while the iron is hot – or call Wilder’s bluff.

He said: “Our original plan and hope was to do it in September but with Canelo fighting on September 15 it makes it a little bit more difficult with US TV.

How do they match up?

 Anthony Joshua who has a professional record of 21 wins and 0 losses. 20 of those wins have been via knockout.

His last fight with Joseph Parker which ended by judging him the victor by Unanimous decision.

Anthony Joshua has maintained an impressive 95% knockout percentage for all his fights. It would be 100% if it wasn't for his last fight.


Anthony Joshua being already having the following belts International Boxing Organisation
World Heavyweight Title,World Boxing Association Super World Heavyweight Title, International Boxing, Federation World Heavyweight Title and World Boxing Organisation World Heavyweight Title

Deontay Wilder on the other hand who has a professional record of 40 wins and 0 losses. 39 of those wins have been a way of knockout. He has and maintains an incredible knockout percentage of 98% he's so unusual with his style of boxing, so unusual infact he's able to do incredible damage all the time.

Deontay contains the belt that Anthony Joshua needs to be unified as the undisputed champion of the world. Although if Deontay win's it'll be the same out come too. As if this fight happens All of Anthony Joshua's belts would be available for the taking and so would Deontay's single belt of World Boxing Council World Heavyweight Title.

Both are sensational powerful within their hands. They both have the unbelievable ability to knock each and everyone that's put on the other side of the ring to them. I think that's why this is such a exciting fight but it's one of them fights you just couldn't call it. Anything truly could happen.


Lets find out what other professionals in the sport suspect how the fight would go if this fight would go ahead.







how do you think the fight will go down?
