Deontay Wilder like 1000s of boxers before him is publicly campaigning for a fight. There is nothing unprofessional about it, he hasn’t said he was going to eat Joshua’s children or anything.
With that being said, Joshua doesn’t seem to have the same enthusiasm to fight Wilder as Wilder has to fight him.
Look at his latest comments.
“When I fought Klitschko he wasn’t on social media saying ‘I want to fight Anthony’, we worked on it behind closed doors, got a deal done and then announced it to the public. That’s how a true professional does business,” Joshua told Gulf News.
“With the new era of boxing and what I haven’t got respect for is athletes like that. Fights can happen and I’ve been taking these fights since my 15th contest. 2018 is just around the corner and I hope a lot of people’s dreams come true with fights becoming a reality. I just hope we can make things happen. If not, my boxing still kind of moves forward and fights will happen, it’s just a case of when.”
Lot of hoping, but not enough I want to fight this guy and knock him out.
