Britain’s Lewis remains the last undisputed heavyweight champion and enjoyed historic wins over Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, but has irked Joshua in the aftermath of his shock defeat against Andy Ruiz Jr.
Former two division undisputed champion Evander Holyfield backs WBC world champion Deontay Wilder as the best heavyweight in the world.
Joshua retained his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight world titles by beating Alexander Povetkin last week, while Wilder puts his WBC belt on the line against Tyson Fury in December
Wilder again called out Joshua after defending his WBC world heavyweight title against Luis Ortiz on Saturday.
‘We have been working on it for three or four years so it’s not much of a shock. If you suddenly win the world title, all these opportunities can come your way. You feel like the man and you can lose track.”
Joshua has been linked with an all British bout with Fury the next time he steps into the ring, with both camps talking up a potential showdown.
According to a statement by Foluke Michael, the Project Manager of the fight, tagged: “Rhumbles in Lagos,” the match will hold on May 25 at the Eko Atlantic City and will be beamed live to the world
