Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has spoken out regarding plans to make a fight against former WBA, WBO and IBF belt holder Anthony Joshua.
Recently their side admitted they held this fight up; not taking the $50M, low balling me, flat fees and all that stuff. But with patience and time the truth shall reveal itself and it has. He's got to get Wallin out the way and I've got to get Parker out the way and may God be with us in those fights and when we come out safe we let the big games begin.
