• Deontay Wilder has blasted those managing Anthony Joshua, saying they did everything to avoid him
• The Bronze Bomber and AJ were billed on the cards before Joshua went on to fight Oleksandr Usyk
• Wilder stated that pundits and professionals had picked him to win the bout should both of them take on each other

American boxer Deontay Wilder has suggested that Anthony Joshua and his team did everything possible to avoid a showdown with him.

Wilder also seems upset with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, saying all was done to prevent a fight between him and Joshua from happening.

AJ, who lost all his heavyweight title belts to Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021, was again defeated in their rematch on August 20.

And Wilder, who lost his WBC heavyweight title to Tyson Fury last year, opened up that Joshua did everything to avoid a clash with him.

Wilder, who has been out of the ring since being stopped a second time by current WBC king Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) in their trilogy showdown last October, said via Boxing Social:

“Everybody picked me to beat Joshua, and that’s the reason why they didn’t want to make the fight before.

“That was the reason why they took me on a six-month rollercoaster because they did everything to avoid the fight [with me]. They did not want to fight.

“Fast forward years and now we’re seeing it [the Joshua team wanting to make the fight with Wilder]. We’ll see [if it happens] because we ain’t bullsh**ting.”

Joshua disappointed after losing to Usyk

Meanwhile, Joshua has expressed disappointment at himself following his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch over the weekend.

Moments after the loss to the champion, AJ managed to grab the mic and spilt some words, as many believe he seemed intoxicated.

However, Usyk was announced the winner by split decision after two of the judges scored the fight for the champion with scores of 115-113 Joshua, 115-113 Usyk, and 116-112 Usyk.
