Anthony Joshua: "I’m Going To F*** Wilder Up Bad"

Anthony Joshua: "I’m Going To F*** Wilder Up Bad"

The unified heavyweight champion means business.

Anthony Joshua isn't mincing his words ahead of a potential mega-unification fight against Deontay Wilder.

The clash boxing fans want to see remains in the works.

After recording his 21st professional victory versus the previously-unbeaten Joseph Parker, Joshua bagged the WBO world title.

He also holds the WBA (super) and IBF belts.

Immediately eyeing up a bout opposite Wilder who's in possession of the WBC strap.

Team Joshua and Team Wilder continue to negotiate, though both parties have yet to strike a deal.

A stumbling block appears to be where the fight would take place. Naturally, Joshua and Wilder are hellbent on fighting on their respective home soil.

The undefeated-Brit wants a showdown at Wembley Stadium, while the American is reportedly set on a fight in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And ahead of the two potentially squaring off, Joshua and Wilder continue to trade verbal jabs which includes a chilling message from the unified heavyweight king.

The 28-year-old sat down with Polly James, and issued a fiery message:

"Luckily, we've got enough time to make the fight happen and we're working on it. We've just sent another draft email over to them. It's just the technical jargon that we're going through right now," Joshua said.

"I ain't got nothing to lose and I'm [going to] rain down hell on him - I'm going to f*** him up bad. You've seen it, I can go to hell and back. I enjoy it there as well, this time I'm going to own it."

He means business.

Here's hoping Eddie Hearn can agree a deal with Wilder's camp.

Joshua or Wilder?
