Deontay Wilder makes chilling threat to Anthony Joshua and predicts how fight would go down as he confirms Saudi talks

DEONTAY WILDER has sent Anthony Joshua a chilling warning following talks for a super-fight in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua and Wilder are in line for a blockbuster bout in December, with the Middle Eastern nation also looking to host Tyson Fury against Oleksandr Usyk.

AJ beat Andy Ruiz Jr on points in the desert in their 2019 rematch but returned last August in a decision loss to Usyk.

So if Wilder, 37, gets the chance to settle the score with Joshua, 33, in the Middle East, he plans to steal the show without needing the judges.

He told EsNews: “I’mma just put it like this, I’ll just keep it sweet, I’mma give Saudi their first knockout victim.

“I can deliver that for you, they haven’t had that much excitement as far as knockouts. I’mma bless them real good.  

“Any Deontay Wilder fight you can expect that, but this one’s going to be real special.

“I’ve got something special that I’m gonna put on the punch with this one.”

Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed he is set for talks in Saudi Arabia next week and Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel confirmed interest in fighting Joshua.

And the bout could come on the SAME NIGHT Fury, 34, fights Usyk, 36, where all four WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles would be on the line.

Reacting to the four-way proposal, Wilder said: “Let’s make it happen, if that’s what’s going on. Let’s make it happen.”

Fury was in line to unify all four belts – the first time in heavyweight history – against Usyk at the start of the year.

But talks broke down amid a row over the split for a potential rematch.

Now, boxing bosses in Saudi want to revive hope of the historic undisputed decider, in a fight too close to call for even Wilder.

He said: “It’s boxing, things can go a lot of different ways.

“That’s the great thing with this business… you just never know how things may go.

“But then a lot of factors can take place in time, too. I don’t know man, it’s hard for me to answer a lot of things.”
