Deontay Wilder has reiterated that Anthony Joshua remains on his top list for a possible fight in 2026.
Recall that Joshua and Wilder were once the top two heavyweights, but their promoters failed to strike a deal to get them in the ring.
The most recent failed attempt came in 2023 after Joshua’s win over Otto Wallin, which would have seen a clash in Saudi Arabia.
However, speaking with BoxNation, Wilder’s agent, Shelly Finkel expressed confidence a fight with Joshua will happen next year.

“Our first choice [of opponent] always would be (Anthony) Joshua. But if we can’t get Joshua — if we could get (Oleksandr) Usyk, we’d fight him.
“I believe [a fight with Joshua] is the biggest fight for him…And it’s the fight of the last decade, hopefully it’s this one.
“[The fight is] not as big as it was, but it’s enormous. Enormous.
“It would sell out any of the smaller arenas, and maybe with a good undercard, it could sell out a Wembley.”
