Deontay Wilder has publicly called out Anthony Joshua and says he is “ready to fight” in latest social media post with hopes that the two can face-off in 2024.
Deontay Wilder Calls Out Anthony Joshua Once Again
The two heavyweights failed to finalise a fight in both 2018 and 2019 and it looks like they could finally go face-to-face in 2024.
There have been talks going on for the past few months and it looks unlikely that the bout will happen this year in Saudi Arabia, but Wilder is determined to get it on in the near future.
Joshua recently said that they could fight on the same night as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, who are set to fight just two days before Christmas on December 23rd.
Representatives of Joshua and Wilder did agree terms over the summer for a fight in Saudi in the winter, but it fell through and now looks more likely to take place next year.

Wilder released a video on social media in a call-out for his potential next opponent, saying:
“A fight that everybody is looking forward to and hopefully it happens – I’m doing everything in my power to make it happen – I’m referring to the Anthony Joshua fight.
“So Anthony, you’re hearing it from my mouth, here, personally, from the horse’s mouth himself.
“I’m here, I’m ready, I’m ready to go.
“I heard some things your promoter said that my last fight only lasted a short period of time and I ain’t fought in a year, so he don’t know if I wanna fight or not.
“But I’m letting you know right now, right here, I’m ready to fight.
“I’m ready to get in the ring man, let’s make this the best time of our lives.
“This would be a major disaster if we were never able to get in the ring and put our stamp down in history bro.
“When people think about classic great fights, I want them to think about us as well, being able to do that we’ve gotta get in the ring, that’s what it’s all about.
“The silliest thing I’ve heard is people saying you’re not ready.
“That’s the silliest thing because I don’t believe that, I believe you’re ready.”
“I hope you’re ready, I think you’re ready, so let’s make this happen bro, me and you, making history happen.
“I’m looking forward to seeing your response bro, I’ll talk to you soon.”
