We're ready for Joshua - Wilder

Mike Costello and Steve Bunce look ahead to a prospective fight between Joshua and Wilder

Mike Costello and Steve Bunce look ahead to a prospective heavyweight unification title fight between Anthony Joshua and the American Deontay Wilder. He says the onus is on Eddie Hearn/AJ to make the fight happen because he and his team are ready.

The podcast looks back at Wilder’s latest fight at the weekend against Luis Ortiz, who troubled Wilder in the 7th before being stopped in the 10th after a maniacal flurry of punches.

There’s an in-depth interview with Wilder, not just on AJ but also on Tyson Fury and on his concerns about the sport’s β€œhuge” doping problem.

Mike Costello and Steve Bunce also dissect Wilder’s unusual, rangy technique – they praise his heart but say his boxing β€˜schooling’ and footwork leave a lot to be desired.
