The world of boxing is abuzz with excitement as Deontay Wilder boldly declares his intention to knock out Anthony Joshua. The anticipation for this clash of titans is reaching fever pitch, with fans eagerly waiting to witness this epic showdown. The potential matchup between Joshua and Wilder garnered attention due to their respective accomplishments and styles.

Joshua, from the United Kingdom, has held multiple world titles and is a master tactician inside the ring. Similarly, Deontay Wilder, from the United States, is known for his powerful punching and has held the WBC heavyweight title. Furthermore, in a recent interview, Wilder discussed his potential bout with Joshua on March 9, 2024. Wilder is quite confident in his ability and record as a boxer and believes he can knock Joshua out. As such, Wilder stated, 

I will knock AJ out. I deliver, what I was supposed to deliver years ago. I deliver, what they ran from.

Hence, Wilder is confident that he will give Joshua a $50 million fight and a $50 million knockout. Furthermore, what makes this matchup even more intriguing is the clash of styles between the two fighters. Wilder’s unorthodox and unpredictable approach contrasts with Joshua’s calculated and disciplined technique.

While Wilder relies on his raw power and explosive punches, Joshua combines his athleticism with strategic precision, often wearing down his opponents with a relentless assault. Hence, it is debatable whether Wilder will overwhelm Joshua or whether Joshua will neutralize Wilder’s power the way Tyson Fury did.

The heavyweight titanic match-up between Wilder and Joshua is set to take place in March 2024 in Saudi Arabia. Both fighters will have to win their December bouts before the official announcement can be made.

Subsequently, Wilder mentioned how this was bound to happen, and he thanked God for opening the door to this opportunity.

In addition, the former heavyweight champions have had a long-standing rivalry since 2019. Subsequently, fans have been dreaming of a showdown for heavyweight supremacy ever since. However, it finally seems possible after several years.
