Watch: Deontay Wilder Issues Explosive Message To Anthony Joshua

Deontay Wilder has issued an explosive message to heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua.

Wilder and Joshua are set to defend their respective world titles in March.

The American, who holds the WBC title, takes on Luis Ortiz. While WBA (super) and IBF champion, Joshua, looks to collect another belt in the shape of Joseph Parker's WBO strap.

Are Wilder and Joshua on collision course over a summer mega-fight?

Well, here's hoping so - and ahead of a future bout, Wilder has continued to stoke the rivalry, exploding on Joshua at his open media workout.

During the epic rant, Wilder insisted he was the best heavyweight among the current crop.

"Ya'll looking at the best heavyweight in the world! And he right here, from America! Ya'll fighting for heavyweights! via Bad Left Hook.

"Put 'em in the ring with me, see what's gon' happen! I'ma knock 'em out! I promise you that! Any heavyweight, listen, any one of you! And all you scrubs calling my name out, don't worry. Once I handle what I gotta do, I got you too! I promise you that.

Before aiming his cross-hairs on the British kingpin.

"Anthony Joshua call everybody name but my name!...Anthony Joshua talkin' bout Dillian Whyte!

"He talkin' bout Jarrell Miller! He don't even mention Deontay Wilder's name. In fact he say I'm too easy. He says he'll ram his jab down my throat! No homo! He say he'll knock me out with one punch! But they don't wanna sign that contract though!

"Here's the deal right here, I'll go anywhere! I'll go to his home! I'll go to his front yard!

"If [Luis] Ortiz lookin', Ortiz I'ma whoop your ass too, boy! I promise you!

Wilder will square off against the Cuban-southpaw on March 3rd in Brooklyn, NY.

And a few weeks later, Joshua is scheduled to defend his WBA and IBF titles versus the unbeaten New Zealander.

If Wilder and Joshua are successful in their next championship bouts, the pair will have all four recognisable world titles (WBA, WBC. IBF and WBO) between them.

Making the potential meeting a mega, mega unification clash.

Please boxing gods, make Wilder vs. Joshua in 2018!
