A confrontation that would bring the unification of world champion titles to this division, as Joshua holds categories trophies I BF, WBA and WBO, and Wilder WBC category.
Joshua, 22 victories and no losses in his career, beat Saturday “KO” in the round of seven Russian Povetkin and after the duel said: “What I care most now is the challenge of April 13th, again here before my fans, at “Wembley”. My main goal, my rival number 1 remains Wilder, that's it. I don't like talking about number 2 or 3. Wilder and so much”, Joshua said.
But Wilder, 40 wins and no loss as a professional, will defend the championship title on December 1st against another British boxer, Tyson Fury, and a challenger's victory could reverse the hierarchy. They reached an agreement and wish you success. Wilder reached an agreement with me, I signed the contract, and then he stepped down. If he doesn't want to fight me, I will respect his decision”, Joshua said.
