Anthony Joshua expects Deontay Wilder to beat Dominic Breazeale
Wilder, who failed to negotiate a fight with Joshua last year, will defend his belts against mandatory challenger Breazeale on May 18 and then expected to take on Luis Ortiz and Adam Kownacki later this year.
“Styles make fights, I think Wilder will fare well against Breazeale,” Joshua told Sky Sports. “I think Wilder is too quick, he’s a very, very fast heavyweight, but Breazeale is tough, took me seven rounds. I hope Wilder does it in nine, so I can be like ‘hey I done it earlier’. You know how it is, comparisons and stuff, but yeah it will be interesting to see.
“You look at the small things, I look at the small details – when he’s getting tired, how many right hands he throws in a round. ‘I look at something different, rather than comparisons to the rounds.”
