Anthony Joshua Receives Lashes From Deontay Wilder Says "He Has Serious Stamina Problem"

 

 Former WBC heavyweight Boxing Champion, Deontay Wilder why talking with ESNEWS shades Anthony Joshua after he lost out on his recent fight with Usyk recently.

Wilder has claimed that Anthony Joshua avoided fighting him years past when he tried to make a unification bout happen.

Speaking with ESNEWS at a celebrity golf event, the American boxer , Deontay  was asked about his thoughts on the rematch between Joshua and heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, and the potential Tyson Fury vs. Usyk unification bout for the undisputed title.

 

“Of course, I watched it (Joshua vs. Usyk),” Wilder told ESNEWS. “I mean Joshua did exactly what we expected him to do, to be cautious and run out of gas. He has a serious stamina problem, a serious stamina problem. We knew that he would be very cautious because of what happened before. As you see he was very cautious of throwing punches and different things like that. That best man (Usyk) won that night.

 

“I think Fury is too big for him. One thing he got going for him is just his size. I look at that fight like a Cunningham, somebody that dominates him, but then when he gets tired he looks to lean on him. Anything’s possible, you can’t look past Usyk, his skill and ability to manoeuvre around the ring as well so anything can happen. Anything can happen in the business of boxing.”

 

Wilder also disclosed that Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn played him for six months when he was ready to go to England to fight the Briton for a unification bout several years ago.

 

At the time, both Wilder and Joshua were undefeated, and it was the biggest fight to make in boxing, but it never happened despite Wilder's effort to make it happen.
