I don’t Doubt Johnny Nelson says he Has No Doubt Who Would Win A Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua Fight
Anthony Joshua is looking for his comeback opponent and Johnny Nelson has a view on what would happen if it were to be Deontay Wilder.
Both of these former heavyweight world champions are in the autumn of their careers. Wilder was a long-ruling WBC belt holder who, until he faced Tyson Fury, had knocked out every man put in front of him in the ring
Fury drew with the American in their first fight, then knocked him out in two further contests. Since then Wilder has also been beaten twice more, once on points by Joseph Parker, and once by KO by Zhilei Zhang. Although a return has been rumoured for almost a year, nothing has yet materialised.
Joshua is in a similar position. He was beaten twice in back-to-back fights by Oleksandr Usyk, the first in 2021 which left him without any of his belts, and the second was a rematch a year later that went the same way and ended with another points loss for ‘AJ’.

After rebuilding with four wins over the likes of Otto Wallin and Francis Ngganou, Joshua had another shot at a world title against Daniel Dubois last September. However, he was stopped inside five rounds and hasn’t fought since.
Speaking to Daily Mail Sport in a round of winner stays on, Nelson was asked to pick between Joshua and Wilder and didn’t hesitate to name his winner.
“Anthony Joshua.”
Many hoped that Joshua and Fury would finally get it on this year but Fury’s retirement back in January put an end to that, at least for now.
