Deontay Wilder got word of Anthony Joshua’s jabbing comments and the WBC World heavyweight champion responded by lashing out at Joshua in a recent interview with fighthype.com.
š¤·šæāāļø Bro WTF @anthonyfjoshua?
You Going To Soon Be Ramming Your jab Down My Throat!? š TBH That donāt sound too good…. pic.twitter.com/n1PYuThvCf— Deontay Wilder (@BronzeBomber) October 10, 2017
In the interview with fighthype, Wilder slams one of Joshua’s titles wins and claims that the current number one heavyweight boxer is a coward.
āHe donāt say heās the best, he donāt even know if heās the best or not but heās a champion. They bought that first belt from Charles Martin for sure,” said Wilder.
Joshua fought Charles Martin for the IBF title back in 2016 and won the belt via knockout.
The American continued his rant and stated that the heavyweight division is scared of him.
āYouāre a champion, Iām a champion. The people say you the best, they speak for you. Youāre a coward, you canāt speak for yourself. I speak for myself and I say Iām the best. So letās see whoās the best.
āThey were already terrified of me, and when I say ātheyā, I mean all the top guys in the heavyweight division. Iām not saying theyāre all scared of me, I know some of them want to fight me and really feel they can beat me but I do put fear in these fightersā hearts and they should have fear because Iām coming in to try and really hurt you to the point where you donāt even have a life to live,” told Wilder.
Wilder is defending his WBC belt on November 4th against Bermane Stirverne at the Barclays Center in New York.
