Wilder hoping to go from Barclays to Britain
American heavyweight eager for unification Bout with Joshua
Deontay Wilder built his reputation as one of the world’s top heavyweights right here in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn.
Now, the 32-year-old WBC heavyweight champion is eager to take his talents across the Atlantic and pick up four more belts as the undisputed titleholder of the division.
Wilder, who has made three of his last five title defenses at the Barclays Center, including his previous two bouts, indicated earlier this week that he is tired of waiting around for Britain’s Anthony Joshua, holder of the WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO crowns, to step into the squared circle with him.
