Deontay Wilder’s manager reveals when he will fight Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

Deontay Wilder manager Shelly Finkel has revealed that the WBC heavyweight champion will fight Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in 2020. Wilder, who failed to negotiate a fight with Joshua last year, will defend his belts against mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale on May 18 and then expected to take on Luis Ortiz and Adam Kownacki later this year. Joshua is about to announce his opponent for his US debut in Madison Square Garden, New York City. Finkel told Thaboxingvoice : "He's fighting his mandatory now, then we have a pretty full slate for this year, then we will discuss fighting Joshua next year. The name calling, the immaturities that are in the press, they won't help but won't hinder making the fight. They are all in the works. There is nothing confirmed at this point, the only thing that is locked in is the fight with Breazeale on May 18. If everything goes the way we hope it will, we will then discuss his next fight. "I have spoken with John Skipper more than once. Him and I are developing a very good relationship, I'm very fond of him. Those talks will continue, and eventually it will lead to a fight of Deontay and Joshua." I think that on his (Wilder's) resume, the same as one Joshua's, it's a fight that should and will happen, and it's a fight that will be remembered because there was such a build up, very difficult to make. But the fight will happen and the fans will get to see it." Tyson Fury returns on June 15th against Tom Schwarz at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. "He's someone we continue to speak with as well,” said Finkel. "The difference is, in the negotiations with Fury, we're dealing directly and it's not in the press, there's no name calling, there's no gamesmanship. That fight will also happen when it's ready, which will be in 2019 I believe. If that fight is to happen, it would be a joint promotion." "The possibilities out there are immense, it's just that we don't want to be dictated to. When the time comes to make the fight, you sit down, say this is the amount of money that is there, let's divide it in a proportion that is right for both fighters and let's get it on. None of that will be an issue, at least not from our side."
