Unified heavyweight champion Joshua is desperate to face American Wilder, who defends his WBC title against Fury in Los Angeles on December 1.
If Wilder successfully overcomes Fury it could set up a potential blockbuster showdown between the rival belt holders. However, if Fury wins and a rematch clause kicks in Joshua may well have to look elsewhere for his next opponent. Joshua will not be watching the bout, however. He explained: ‘Unfortunately the fight’s on too early for me, so I’ll be sleeping, but I enjoy watching the highlights. I need Wilder to win, and that way it gives me more of an opportunity to fight him, because as a champion, if he retains his belt. I think that’s the fight people have been yearning for.’
