Wilder to earn $50m for Anthony Joshua heavyweight mega-fight

Wilder

Deontay Wilder hinted he would earn a staggering $50million for fighting Anthony Joshua if he beats Joseph Parker.

Wilder looks to set up a mega-fight against ‘AJ’ when he fights Parker at the ‘Day of Reckoning’ event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, which is headlined by Joshua’s fight against Otto Wallin.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ hasn’t fought since knocking out Robert Helenius over a year ago, as Joshua’s most recent win also came against the same opponent.

“I knock AJ out, I deliver what I was supposed to deliver years ago. I deliver what they ran from. I deliver what he asked for $50million for, I’m going to give him a $50million knockout,” Wilder told Queensbury Promotions.

Bookies have Wilder as a bigger favourite against Parker than Joshua in his bout against Wallin and the American has warned fans to “not blink” during his comeback fight.
