It is still unclear if world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, will pick an opponent in time for his pre-scheduled April 13 fight at the Wembley Stadium in London.
Joshua clearly wants an undisputed title bout with Deontay Wilder, for the World Boxing Council belt. However, Wilder has openly debunked any rumors that he may be facing the Nigerian-Brit anytime soon, as his mind is fully focused on a monumental rematch against British strong man Tyson Fury.
A former British Commonwealth and WBA International light heavy weight champion, Peter Oboh, has charged Joshua to take on Wilder anywhere the American heavy puncher picks for a fight.
“Joshua is at his peak form right now. From what I saw of Wilder in his last fight against Fury, he is still far behind Joshua. This is the best moment for Joshua’s camp to agree to a match between the two boxers.
“Age wise, Wilder is older than Joshua but in boxing Joshua is more experienced than Wilder, at least his profile depicts so. In the nearest future, I cannot be certain if Joshua can beat him in the future as Wilder has the tendency of improving with time.”
