Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has revealed that the Nigeria born British professional boxer intends to “eat” Deontay Wilder when they face off in a world title unification fight next year. Wilder remained on course for a high-profile bout with the undefeated Briton by beating Bermane Stiverne with a first-round knockout in New York over the weekend. “The Bronze Bomber” immediately targeted Joshua, who has previously spoken of his desire for a unification match at some point in 2018. Asked about the prospect of a fight still being on the cards, Hearn told Sky Sports News, “I think 2018, we want to see Deontay Wilder against Anthony Joshua, no question. I was really interested to see the weight of Deontay Wilder on the scales, 15st 9. I texted that to Anthony today, Deontay Wilder, 15st 9. I shouldn’t really tell you the reply, but it was ‘I’ll eat him,’ and the size difference is huge. It’s two-and-a-half stone now between those two.”
