Deontay Wilder says he will get in the ring and go face to face with Anthony Joshua if he beats Joseph Parker in Cardiff, sky sports reports. According to the report, the WBC heavyweight world champion will be ringside as part of the Sky Sports Box Office team for the huge unification fight between the WBA 'super' and IBF holder, Joshua, and WBO champion Parker at the Principality Stadium, on March 31.


Wilder who expressed assurances that he will take care of Luis Ortiz on March 3, told Sky Sports that he will gladly square-up to Joshua if the Brit wins. According to him;


"People want to know what's going to happen next. I am an unpredictable person, I do what people don't expect me to do but I do things when it's the right time for me to do them. You'll see.


"I will get in the ring and go face to face with him. That will be amazing and I hope he is anticipating seeing me and people are anticipating two tough guys getting in the ring. We will call this the preview. This will let people see what our fight will be like.


"It typifies the show as well, because people want to know what's going to happen next. I am an unpredictable person, I do what people don't expect me to do but I do things when it's the right time for me to do them. You'll see. I enjoyed myself the first time I came over to work with Sky Sports and I am certainly looking forward to doing it again.


Wilder said he wants Joshua to beat Parker so that they can both meet later in the year.

 

"Of course, 100 per cent, even 1,000 per cent, we definitely hope Joshua wins. I wouldn't dare curse that he loses because people want to see the best fight the best. I want the heavyweight division to stay lit up as it has been and stay exciting like it is.


I don't dislike Anthony Joshua. I don't hate the guy, I actually like him, just as much as I like Tyson Fury. I think he has done a tremendous job with what he's done in his country and I am proud to see they are praising another black man for his accomplishments because you just don't see that much these days.


"Being that he's a champion and I am a champion it's about time the division had one champion. One guy that takes it all, just one master of the division, one king on the throne and that's why I really want this fight to happen."
