Deontay Wilder<\/a> is currently plotting his next move in the heavyweight division.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Bronze Bomber\u2019 recently returned to action with a seventh round stoppage win over Tyrrell Herndon<\/a>, ending a poor run of form that had seen Wilder lose four fights over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Despite the win over Herndon, some fans still believe that Wilder should consider hanging up the gloves due to him being a far cry from the man that was the long-reigning WBC heavyweight champion, especially with him now being 39-years-old.<\/p>\n

Wilder doesn\u2019t appear to have any plans to retire though, telling The Fighter\u2019s Voice<\/a> that he must take on Anthony Joshua at some stage before calling him on his career.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMost definitely [the AJ fight will happen]\u2026 we\u2019re still in it and we\u2019re still active and we\u2019re gonna meet each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know it\u2019s a lot of great things that has been going on in boxing you know with different people that\u2019s getting involved and making the best fights happen at this appropriate time, you know and I\u2019m looking forward to it all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have no time to take no steps back, you know we have a strategic plan that we have planned set for and we\u2019re following along with it but if we have to take certain shortcuts and certain things we will do so. I am a veteran in this business at this moment in time and I love every bit of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Joshua was last in action in September 2024, suffering a fifth round knockout to Daniel Dubois. He\u2019s been linked to a clash with Wilder for a number of years, but as of yet it has never been able to come to fruition.<\/p>\n

With Wilder making it clear that he wants the Joshua fight, one fellow heavyweight who has suffered defeats to both men has delivered his verdict for how it may unfold.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deontay Wilder is currently plotting his next move in the heavyweight division. \u2018The Bronze Bomber\u2019 recently returned to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-314377","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114964581843639356","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
