Deontay Wilder was afraid, refused to meet with Joshua: He never returned.

American boxer Wilder hasn't been in the ring since the defeat of Tyson Fury. During this time, the BronzBmber had an offer to confront AJ.

According to financial reports, Eddie Hearn had offered the American a duel with Anthony Joshua, but he had never received an answer.

This is confirmed by American boxer Shelly Finkel, who has already focused on confronting Robert Helenius.

It was said several times by Eddie Hearn that I avoided it. That's partly true, maybe all true. We have a duel with Robert Helenius. Eddie emailed me. He asked if we could talk and said he had a big offer for Deontay”, he said.

Now we have a duel with Helenius and that's what we're focusing on. If something went wrong there wouldn't be anybody else. If it goes well, it all works”, Finkel added.

Anthony Joshua is already expected to arrange a duel with British boxer Tyson Fury.
