Deontay Wilder accepts Anthony Joshua's challenge and insists he 'is ready to come to the UK' to fight the unified heavyweight champion next
Deontay Wilder has accepted Anthony Joshua's challenge to fight him next in the UK and has urged the unified world champion to begin negotiations with him 'immediately'.
Joshua called out the WBC champion in the aftermath of his unanimous points victory over Joseph Parker at the Principality Stadium last Saturday - which saw him add the WBO belt to his IBF, IBO and WBA straps.
And the American has now responded to his rival by issuing a statement on Tuesday.
