Or will Wilder find an opening for that right hand – and turn AJ into just another victim: Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder 2024 

One of the most highly anticipated fights, not just in the heavyweight dvision, but in the entire sport.

Can Anthony Joshua’s newly adapted ‘think first’ style keep him out of trouble for 36 minutes? Or will Wilder find an opening for that right hand – and turn AJ into just another victim.

As always.. We wait in hope, that two of boxings true titans will finally collide.

Anthony Joshua will fight Deontay Wilder in 2024, whether he wins or loses the bout against Robert Helenius this weekend.

This was disclosed by the American’s trainer, Malik Scott, saying the encounter was slated for January.

Scott, who is Wilder’s trainer, revealed the fight with Joshua is “locked in” for January. He also believes it should happen regardless of whether Joshua wins or loses to Helenius.

“I think they both should be in the ring with each other regardless,” Scott told Sky Sports News. “Performance-wise, win or lose, to me Deontay Wilder and AJ should be in a boxing ring together. It should happen.

“It would be a true tragedy if we get the Riddick Bowe-Lennox Lewis [who never fought] effect with Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

“The two deserve to be in a ring with each other.”

“The January thing is locked in, as locked in as it’s going to be,” Scott said.

Anthony Joshua says he’s only worried about himself as he prepares to fight late replacement Robert Helenius after Dillian Whyte returned an adverse anti-doping finding.

“In the boxing world nothing to me is done until it’s actually over. That’s my personal opinion. But the high [level] talk, the deal is almost done.”

After the fight in New York against Andy Ruiz, there’s a noticeable change in Anthony Joshua. Mentally, it seems like he’s missing something since that fight, a loss that appears to have taken a piece of his soul. The video suggests that the defeat shook him up, and the Anthony Joshua who once faced big challenges like Klitschko is not as prominent lately.

The narrative emphasizes that Joshua was valiant in that fight, expressing a desire to go out on his shield. Despite facing criticisms and doubts, the video acknowledges that Joshua is battling through the aftermath of the loss and gradually coming out on the other side. However, it points out that lingering doubts still affect him.

The discussion leads to the upcoming fight against Deontay Wilder, considered one of the biggest fights in boxing. The video delves into how athletes, especially boxers, are concerned about their public perception, place among contemporaries, and the legacy they leave behind.

There’s a suggestion that Anthony Joshua might feel the weight of expectations and may be grappling with the idea that he has no real legacy in the current era of combat sports entertainment. The video reflects on the significance of the Wilder fight for the heavyweight division and anticipates that the winner will be determined by whoever lands the first punch and desires victory more.
