By Scott Gilfoid: Gerald Washington (18-0-1 12 KOs) will be coming in as a replacement opponent to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) on Saturday night, but he believes he’s going to get the victory over the 6’7’” champion. Washington is so confident that he’ll win the fight that he’s already dreaming of fighting in the UK in a large stadium.
Washington, 34, says he’s fought in front of 90,000 fans in the past when he played college football for USC in Los Angeles, California. Washington’s mentioning of wanting to fight in a stadium in England gives the boxing fans a big hint that he has his mind on fighting IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in the future if the two of them win their next fights.
