Wilder will face Robert Helenius on October 15th.
Former World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder wants to fight another ex-champion Anthony Joshua in Africa.
“I would like to fight this fight in Africa. This is still the number one fight in the world for everyone. Everywhere I go, people are always talking about my fight with Joshua. We both have roots there,” Wilder explained.
“I think it would be an amazing place to come home. Return to your homeland. A continent full of our people. I think that there we will receive respect and love from all people.”
Wilder will face Robert Helenius on October 15 in Brooklyn. Oleksandr Usyk plans to visit this fight. The Ukrainian has previously said that Wilder could be his next opponent.
In August, Joshua lost by split decision to Ukrainian boxer, WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Anthony has been in talks with WBC champion Tyson Fury for a fight in late 2022. However, the parties could not agree on the final details of the contract.
Joshua may soon decide on a new opponent. Candidates to fight him include Otto Wallin and Joe Joyce.
