It is pretty clear that Anthony Joshua doesn’t want to fight Deontay Wilder next.
The other options don’t look that great, but here we are.
Barry Hearn says a fight with Deontay Wilder is “one of three main choices” for Anthony Joshua and expects the Brit to make his choice in the next 10 days.
The Matchroom Sport chairman said: “Anthony Joshua calls the shots.
“He has a choice. I think his preference is Alexander Povetkin for his mandatory, Jarrell Miller is in the top five, and Deontay Wilder.
“They’re his three main choices and I expect him to make his mind up in the next seven to 10 days. He’s a smart young man and the final decision is always made by him.”
We may not get a Wilder-Joshua fight until 2019 if we are lucky.
