Frank Warren Doesn’t Think Anthony Joshua Beating Deontay Wilder Means That Much
Frank Warren thinks if Anthony Joshua beats Deontay Wilder in a potential fight, it doesn’t mean all that much.
Joshua is coming off a KO win over Robert Helenius and the hope is to secure a boxing match with Wilder next time out. Although it was a good KO, Warren says the fight against Helenius didn’t allow anyone to learn anything new.
“He caught him with a big shot. But, let’s get it right, he’s a guy who’s got a big punch and the other guy when he fights at that level he usually gets knocked out when he steps up. You’ve not learnt anymore about AJ in that fight coming out of it than going into it,” Warren told Boxing Social.
Meanwhile, if Anthony Joshua does get the Deontay Wilder boxing match, Frank Warren doubts it means all that much as he says Tyson Fury beat him three times already. Of course, the first fight was a draw but the other two were wins for Fury.
However, Warren doesn’t think it even matters as he expects Wilder to beat Joshua in the potential fight.
“Tyson’s beaten Wilder three times, so if [Joshua] beats Wilder, if he does, and I don’t think he will – so what!,” Warren said. “Tyson’s beaten him three times and probably taken a lot of miles off of his clock in the fights that he had with Tyson. Tyson did a job on him, especially in that third fight, he had Tyson down as well, it was a tough fight. Wilder didn’t come out of that fight physically well I don’t think. I don’t think he’ll beat Wilder by the way but that’s irrelevant – I don’t think he’ll beat Wilder.”
Currently, Wilder vs. Joshua has not been agreed to but the hope is the fight will happen in early 2024.
