Your support makes all the difference.Anthony Joshua has promised to knock Deontay Wilder “spark out” following his points victory over Joseph Parker in Cardiff on Saturday night.
The Brit added Parker’s WBO title to his IBF, IBO and WBA straps after being taken all the way on the night to keep his unbeaten streak intact.
The only belt not currently held by Joshua now is Wilder’s WBC strap, with the American being lined up for his next fight – if the two camps can sit down and discuss terms, something promoter Eddie Hearn admitted has so far been impossible.
But Joshua has his eyes firmly fixed on the American and insisted despite failed to end Parker’s night early, he would finish Wilder inside the distance.
“IBO, WBO, WBA, IBF. I'm not into the hype, let's get the business done. Let's see what the future holds, I'm down for whatever, whenever,” he said following his points victory.
“Wilder let's go baby, let's go! I want Wilder. Or Fury. Get him [Wilder] in the ring and I'll knock him spark out.”
