Deontay Wilder has called out Anthony Joshua and claimed it would be a major disaster if they don\u2019t fight each other.<\/p>\n

Joshua\u2019s promoter Eddie Hearn had tried to claim the American wasn\u2019t interested in fighting after a Saudi Arabia deal for the pair to fight fell apart. But former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder, 38, dismissed those claims and called Joshua\u2019s team to make an offer for a Las Vegas showdown early next year.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201c(It is) a fight everyone is looking forward to and hopefully it happens and I\u2019m doing everything in my power to make it happen, and I\u2019m referring to the Anthony Joshua fight. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony, you\u2019re getting it from the horse\u2019s mouth himself: I\u2019m here, I\u2019m ready to go. I heard some things your promoter (Eddie Hearn) said that my last fight only lasted a short period of time and I haven\u2019t fought in a year and he doesn\u2019t know if I want to fight or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m letting you know I\u2019m ready to fight \u2013 let\u2019s make this the best time of our lives. This would be a major disaster if we were never able to get in the ring and put our stamp down in history.\u201d <\/p>\n

Both men are coming off wins over Finn Robert Helenius – but Wilder\u2019s was 12 months ago. When the pair were both undefeated and held all of the belts in the division, the bout never materialised after Joshua and Hearn backtracked on a \u00a340m offer from Wilder\u2019s team over \u2018contractual obligations\u2019.<\/p>\n

Now Wilder and his co-manager Shelly Finkel are waiting on an offer from Hearn he had promised for Las Vegas next year.<\/p>\n
