Joshua Vs. Wheeler targets Turki Al-Sheikh for a heavyweight clash

Turki Al Sheik next wants to see a fight between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. It’s a fight that will hold the fans’ interest even though both former heavyweight champions are at the top.

Joshua-Wilder is the fight the boxing world has been dying to see for decades, but the two have been unable to put a deal together. Deontay’s right hand is right. Old buried mineIt has been buried in the earth for 60 years, but it is still dangerous. If Joshua gets that Deontays right hand up, he’s going to sleep.

Wilder’s career has fallen short of Joshua’s, but both are chin-wise on the same level. Joshua, 35, was knocked out by IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in 5 rounds on September 21 in London.

Turkey plan

If Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) comes up against former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs), the Turk wants to fight challenger Martin Bacall in Africa. Bakole will fight Efe Ajagba in his next fight.

“Now I want to see Joshua and Wheeler. If Tyson isn’t available, why not Joshua and Wilder?” said Turki al-Sheikh. TalkSport boxing About wanting to set up a fight between recently defeated Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

“We have ended the war between Bakole and the Nigerian fighter Ajagba. After that we want to see Joshua with Bakole. I want to see this fight. Do you know where I want to see? I want to see it in Africa.

Wilder is confident against journeyman Curtis Harper on April 26 at BLK Prime in Atlanta. Considering how poor Deontay has been over the past five years, you can’t rule out a win for the 36-year-old Harper.

Turki didn’t say if he would still be interested in using Deontay as an opponent for AJ if he was beaten by Harper, but you have to assume that would make him ineligible. Wilder’s record is 1-5 in his last six fights.

It’s fair enough that Deontay has lost four of his five matches, but losing to veteran Harper is a clear sign that he’s not going to be used as an opponent for Joshua.
