Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua: Lennox Lewis Predicts Who Will Win Super Bout

• Deontay Wilder is expected to face Anthony Joshua in December
• The much-anticipated heavyweight fight will likely take place in Saudi Arabia
• Boxing icon Lennox Lewis has predicted who will win the bout

Lennox Lewis is among several high-ranking members of the boxing fraternity who have weighed in on a potential fight between Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

Wilder versus Joshua is expected to take place in December after positive talks with Saudi Arabia over one of the biggest fights in boxing.

In recent years, both fighters' reputations have taken a bit of a hit, which might make people less excited about the potential matchup.

Wilder, affectionately known as 'Bronze Bomber' famously lost to Tyson Fury twice in a row to relinquish his WBC heavyweight title in 2020.

Similarly, Joshua's reputation suffered greatly after two defeats against Oleksandr Usyk, the second of which occurred late last year.

Fans and experts nevertheless enjoy sharing their opinions on the likely outcome of the bout should it take place, despite the lack of titles on the line and the diminished sense of a huge battle.

Lewis predicts Wilder vs Joshua

Lennox Lewis, who is best known for defeating Evander Holyfield to win the heavyweight championship in 1999, has made it clear who he believes will prevail in a matchup between Wilder and Joshua.

The 57-year-old is a British boxing legend, but for this bout, he is going against his fellow countryman.

"Joshua against Wilder? Definitely Wilder," Lewis told ESNEWS.

"Wilder has got that thing in him where he wants to hurt you, and I've seen it every time he throws that right hand, he's trying to damage you with that right hand."

Joshua confirms Wilder fight

Sports Brief earlier reported that Anthony Joshua has confirmed that he will fight Deontay Wilder in December this year.

"That's what's happening, you know what's going on."
