Boxing icon warns Anthony Joshua of brutal Deontay Wilder fight outcome as blockbuster showdown inches closer

ANTHONY JOSHUA has been warned of the potential outcome of a clash with Deontay Wilder.

The former two-time unified heavyweight champion was seemingly on course to finally settle his five-year-long feud with the American in a Saudi showdown in December.

Saudi boxing chiefs, however, ultimately pulled the plug on the bout – despite both parties agreeing lucrative deals.

The tentative plan at this moment in time is for the duo to throw down after respective December 23 dust-ups with Otto Wallin and Joseph Parker on the same Saudi card.

And four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield only sees one outcome for the fight.

The Real Deal told ES News: “I think Wilder will get him.”

AJ, 34, has shown improvements under the stewardship of new head coach Derrick James in his back-to-back outings against Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.

Those improvements, however, have done little to convince Holyfield that Wilder won’t detonate one of his nuclear bombs of a right hand on his chin.

He continued: “I think he’ll get him because of the big shot, and because of the style Joshua fights.

“He stands off and he’s open, and when you’re open that way [Wilder] will get the right hand on you.”

Joshua and Wilder have been jawing down one another since they held all the heavyweight marbles five years ago.

Watford warrior Joshua has remained silent on the long-overdue showdown, something that can’t be said of Wilder.

The Bronze Bomber told Blue Blood Sports TV: “I just don’t know what’s up with Joshua, bro.

“Maybe I’m gonna have to go to England and sit down with him on some real man s***.

“I don’t want him to feel like I have anything against him, but I know he’s afraid of me.

“Joshua – me and you is the biggest fight in the world bro, what are you doing?

“I really wanna talk to that dude.”
