Deontay Wilder admits why Anthony Joshua may not be an 'easy night' for him

Ahead of Deontay Wilder's next fight, 'The Bronze Bomber' has previewed a possible bout against Anthony Joshua.

The former WBC Heavyweight Champion has been out of the ring since October. In that outing, Wilder scored a first-round knockout win over his former training partner, Robert Helenius. Following the victory, the former champion was ordered to face Andy Ruiz Jr.

The concept is a four-man tournament of sorts in Saudi Arabia. The country has taken a big interest in the sport recently and is willing to put up a lot of money to make Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua happen later this year.

In a recent interview with IFL TV, 'The Bronze Bomber' discussed a possible clash against 'AJ'. There, Wilder admitted that the bout won't be an easy one, stating:

"We've got a lot of different options right now, at this point in time. Joshua, everybody. A lot of people are going to get that dream fight that they want to see. Nobody's an easy night, nobody's easy. On the night of the fight, you never know what they might have them in that night."
