The two former heavyweight champions could meet in the ring in January
ANTHONY JOSHUA WILL ignore the hype and adopt a gladiatorial mindset if his proposed bout with Deontay Wilder gets the green light.
But Joshua insisted: “There is no pressure on this whole situation, I am just rolling with the punches. It is not as important as this and that. That mentality extends to speculation Wilder could himself arrange a tune-up fight, having last been in the ring back in October when he stopped Helenius in the first round of their New York clash.
“For me personally, the networks when we were champions was an issue, but now we’re here and it is a good time to be a heavyweight because Wilder is not champion any more, I am not champion, we don’t have network pressure, mandatory pressure.
