Wilder: Joshua is broke before the war with Usik

Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder believes Anthony Joshua appears to be “breaking” before his row with Oleksand Ussyk on Saturday evening.

Wilder knows what it is like to suffer mentally after losing the title of heavy loads and believes Joshua is showing signs that he is mentally not 100 percent this week.

It looks more broken or something, maybe, because it's getting used to lack of titles and now the situation has changed. Because sometimes you have something so long and then the situation gets different, it's not easy to get used to this change.”, Wilder said.

It's just my opinion on things. Maybe it's the pressure to become a champion and he's just himself. I've seen a lot of people talking about things he's done outside the ring.”, he added.

Remec between Joshua and Usik will take place in late Saturday hours.
