Anthony Joshua: Deontay Wilder been around 9 years & hasn't fought anyone

[CEITEDMOFO]

British heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua wants to see his American counterpart Deontay Wilder step his competition up.

Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) turned professional less than four years ago, but will face future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko in April.

Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs), who’s been around nearly nine years, will face Gerald Washington in his next fight.

While Joshua kept it respectful, he made his feelings clear: the Gerald Washingtons of the world will no longer do.

Many boxing pundits, fairly or unfairly, agree. Wilder has been criticized for his level of opposition as he’s ascended into the heavyweight hierarchy.

“I think Wilder needs to fight better opposition,” Joshua exclusively told Sky Sports. “Washington is good, but he’s up and coming still. It was a last minute call-up as well.

“Wilder has been a professional for around eight to nine years and I want to see a bit more, and there is nothing wrong with that,” said Joshua. “Good luck against Washington, but I think the other contenders in the heavyweight division need challenging as well, so I think it would be good for Wilder to force these type of fights, rather than taking easy pickings.”

This is a huge PBC problem if you ask me. I said it once and I'll say it again... They just don't do well with promoting the bigger weights.

More of the issue is the availability of top heavies under the haymon banner..which is really none..he's like the Tim Bradley of the PBC...he's going to have to reach out and do some negotiating with other promoters

Fury, out of the picture

Wlad, scheduled for rematch with Fury now fighting Joshua

AJ, fighting Wlad just fought two Bums one which he bought his belt off

Parker Peter Fury etc etc

End of day all these dudes needing to step up in comp it's funny to hear any of them talk like King and none have separated themselves from the pack with exception of Wlad
