Deontay Wilder has issued a warning to rival Anthony Joshua that he would be reluctant to leave America for their potential super fight.
The WBC world champion spoke with the media as he attended Showtime’s Championship Boxing Event on Wednesday evening.
Despite the pair’s verbal melee being put on temporary mute with both facing opponents in March, they still look on a collision course for a summer showdown if they can get past their respective challengers.
Wilder has given Luis Ortiz a second-crack at his WBC strap after the Cuban failed a drug tests the first time around while Joshua, who holds the IBF and WBA world titles, will face the WBO king Joseph Parker in a historic unification clash in Cardiff on March 31.
However, speaking at Showtime’s annual event, the unbeaten American took the opportunity to reignite talks of fighting Joshua.
‘He’s talking about the percentages in England and stuff like that. Bro, 70,000 people may look good in a small country, but you are not getting the money like you are over here just compared to 20,000,’ Wilder said.
