Deontay Wilder could only smile regarding Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua sparring talk

Deontay Wilder heard the reports about Tyson Fury tabbing Anthony Joshua to spar with in preparation for his rematch with “The Bronze Bomber.”

And all the WBC world heavyweight champion could do was smirk.

“When I heard that, I was doing what I’m doing now — smiling,” Wilder told DAZN’s Andreas Hale during Super Bowl media week. “It only allows me to continue to keep the claim that I’m the baddest man in the planet. I’m the No. 1 heavyweight in the world.

“Now you got two top heavyweights trying to team up against me,” he continued. “I’m supposed to be the one who has the least skills out of everyone, so why have to team up on me? The only thing you gotta do is out-box me, right? I just looked at that as more motivation.

 

“Hey, get him ready because I’m looking for a great event, looking for the biggest fight in history,” Wilder added about his Feb. 22 rematch against Fury. “This is definitely the biggest fight in my life right now, as each fight is, and I’m looking forward to it. So, if (Joshua) could come and give him some type of pointers, or looks or whatever to make this fight even more exciting, then go ahead and help him out.”

Wilder (42-0-1, 41 KOs) and Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) battled to a controversial split draw in December 2018 with the general consensus being that Fury out-boxed Wilder. However, the ref registered a delayed count of Wilder’s 12th-round knockdown of Fury that could have prevented “The Bronze Bomber” from raising his hand in victory.

Since that bout, the two have taken very different paths to this impending rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Fury fought a couple of virtually-unknown boxers last year, scoring a second-round TKO of Tom Schwarz in June and tougher-than-expected unanimous decision over Otto Wallin in September.
