Wilder could fight Joshua before Ruiz match
famous organizer Shelly FinkelRepresenting the interests of former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), he said his client is prepared to leave the WBC qualifier for good with Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs). Big fight with Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs).
“Deontay wants to face Joshua in his next fight. We will accept this fight in the UK or the Middle East. We want to organize it from now on.
We have a WBC qualifier with Ruiz and that’s what we’re going to do. But we want to fight Joshua. Eddie Hearn said he contacted me in August, but Helenius and I had an appointment. At that time we had already announced this fight and said that we would not communicate with anyone before fighting with Helenius. Eddie knew this but said he still contacted us. Now we want to negotiate a deal and arrange a fight with Joshua.
Dillian Whyte wasn’t looking good against Jermain Franklin, so why would Joshua want to fight him? Deontay wants to fight him in the next fight. We’ve been trying to fight with Joshua since 2017. Let’s make a deal and fight. Fans want to see him, so why not?” said Finkel.
