Anthony Joshua ‘isn’t worried’ about a dangerous shootout with Deontay Wilder in the future, says the British heavyweight star’s trainer Rob McCracken.
The unified world heavyweight champion defends his titles against Andy Ruiz Jr on his US debut at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night.
Wilder retained his WBC belt with an explosive first-round knockout of Dominic Breazeale earlier this month, which sparked fresh demand for an undisputed title fight, and Joshua would relish this blockbuster battle, according to McCracken.
Speaking on Behind The Ropes, McCracken told Sky Sports, “It will happen. I don’t think Wilder is worried about fighting Josh and I know Josh isn’t worried about fighting Wilder.
“I think it’s a fight that must happen and I think that the people that look after them promotionally are keen for that to happen with the broadcasters. I and AJ are keen for that to happen.
“I think all of the top heavyweights should fight each other over the next one, two, three, four, five years. I think you see the top heavyweights — big Josh, Wilder, Tyson Fury. You have got a couple of other fighters coming into the mix now — you have got (Luis) Ortiz, Dillian Whyte and a few more fighters that I haven’t mentioned, but I think they should all fight each other.
“Certainly the big three now are big Josh, Tyson and Wilder and it would be great to see them fighting each other over the next two or three years. That’s what the fans want and that’s what the fighters want.”
