Fabio Wardley is giving Deontay Wilder the edge if he finally shares a ring with longtime rival, Anthony Joshua.
The pair have been linked to a 2024 meeting for a number of months now and if the fight goes ahead, Wardley is backing the American to get the job done.
Wilder has been inactive for a year following his one round blowout of Robert Helenius in 2022.
Joshua has boxed two times in 2023 and there’s speculation that he could fight for a third time in December to help him get ready for Wilder next year.
Despite the lack of activity, Wardley still goes for Wilder.
“If I was a betting man, it’s almost hard to say because I do always want to back a Brit, but I’d probably give it to Wilder,” said Wardley when speaking to OUTBX.
“I think it’s very difficult, especially with the way Joshua has been as of late, I think you have to edge it to Wilder.
“The way Joshua has been a bit cuter with his boxing, trying to stay at range and distance, I think that leads you in more to get caught.”
