Deontay Wilder insists he isn't freezing out Anthony Joshua and wants to "slaughter" the former unified heavyweight king.

Joshua claimed he was being frozen out by Tyson Fury and Wilder. That accusations hasn't gone down well with the WBC champion whose fired back at the Brit.

"What do I wanna freeze you out for when I wanna slaughter you? When I wanna hurt you, I wanna knock you out? I still wanna fight you AJ," the undefeated American said.

"Handle your business, our fight's still in line. I'mma knock you out just like I said."

Wilder and Fury are on a collision course to rematch in 2020. In the meantime, Wilder's set to defend his heavyweight title against Luis Oritz while Fury will face Otto Wallin.

Fury's upcoming opponent doesn't sit well with Joshua whose criticised the Swede's credentials.

"Tyson Fury is fighting Otto Wallin but nobody talks about that. I fought Wallin as an amateur. [Wilder and Fury] are the cream of the crop and shouldn't be fighting those type of people," said Joshua.

"They froze me out. Wilder has [agreed] his next fight with Ortiz, his next fight with Fury.

"And nobody should talk to me about Wilder or Fury after I beat Ruiz Jr, because they have made it clear what they are doing. They have got the whole of 2020 booked up. Until they are free, nobody talk to me about Wilder or Fury."

Joshua, meanwhile, will rematch Andy Ruiz Jr on December 7 in Saudi Arabia as he seeks to regain the heavyweight world titles.
