Despite being linked to an undercard fight against Jai Opetaia, Deontay Wilder<\/a> is convinced that Tyson Fury<\/a> vs Anthony Joshua<\/a> will not be going ahead.<\/p>\n

This is in spite of the fact that both heavyweights attended the launch press conference in September, while also being entitled to multi-million pound rewards come fight night.<\/p>\n

Having dealt with their respective teams in the past, though, Wilder firmly believes that Joshua, specifically, will not proceed with their showdown on December 11.<\/p>\n

Fury, meanwhile, he seems far less concerned about, perhaps because they completed an iconic trilogy that delivered no shortage of drama.<\/p>\n

Their first encounter \u2013 arguably the most memorable \u2013 resulted in a controversial draw after \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019, quite remarkably, survived a heavy 12th-round knockdown in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, around 14 months later, Fury scored an emphatic seventh-round finish<\/a> before encountering far more difficulty in 2023, when he claimed a hard-fought 11th-round knockout over the American.<\/p>\n

Yet despite having lost to the 38-year-old on two occasions, Wilder has told IBA Boxing<\/a> that he is backing Joshua if their scheduled clash does, in fact, take place at Cardiff\u2019s Principality Stadium next month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen. I see that they\u2019ve got the promotion, and stuff, but even on Joshua\u2019s side, [I find it] real fishy because I\u2019ve dealt with them for a long time, and I know how they move.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be surprised if it happens \u2026 but if it does happen, I have Joshua winning on points [or by] a late-round knockout. Eleventh-round knockout.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many others are also backing \u2018AJ\u2019 to cause the upset, it seems the majority are favouring Fury based on their last two respective outings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite being linked to an undercard fight against Jai Opetaia, Deontay Wilder is convinced that Tyson Fury vs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":956853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-956852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=956852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/956853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=956852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=956852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=956852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
