Deontay Wilder has expressed his eagerness for a fight against Anthony Joshua in London, describing it as "a long time coming". The American heavyweight contender is looking to rebuild his career after a disappointing performance against Joseph Parker in December.
Despite years of speculation, a fight between Joshua and Wilder has never come to fruition, largely due to promotional politics. Yet, Wilder is optimistic that if he can defeat Zhang next month, the much-anticipated fight will finally happen.READ MORE: Carl Froch blasts 'frustrating' Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder fight decision
"I actually have major fans in the UK, and I think they're going to show up and represent me, even though I'm fighting their countryman. All these fights are beautiful to talk about, but I've got to handle business come June 1. But it has been a long time coming for that fight with AJ. Joshua is riding a four-fight winning streak, capped with a sensational knockout victory over MMA star Francis Ngannou in March. Wilder has been left impressed by the Englishman's return to form, but he insists he has no fear of stepping into the ring with the former two-time unified heavyweight king.
