Anthony Joshua boxing news
By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Boxing head honcho Eddie Hearn doesn’t buy Deontay Wilder’s statement from today saying that he wants to face Anthony Joshua next in the UK, so he says he’s going to be looking to match AJ against unbeaten Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller (20-0-1, 18 KOs) if wins his fight on April 28 against former heavyweight world title challenger Johann Duhaupas.
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) called IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s bluff on Tuesday by making a statement in telling him that he’s ready to fight him next in the UK if that’s where he wants the fight to take place.
By Scott Gilfoid: Eddie Hearn is convinced that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will be defending his title against #2 WBC Dominic Breazeale in his next fight in June or July rather than facing IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs).

By Sangy: I think a lot of eyes were opened by Saturday’s fight in the Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker fight at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

By Scott Gilfoid: Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn says he has no problem with the performance from the referee hat worked the AJ vs. Joseph Parker fight last Saturday night at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
