Deontay Wilder branded Anthony Joshua a “coward” live on television, talkSPORT reports.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain alongside Tyson Fury to promote his December 1 fight, the American was asked about the possibility of meeting British heavyweight Joshua in the ring.

Wilder, the WBC king, believes the Joshua camp don’t really want the fight.

“Hey Joshua, me and Fury are about to get this thing going on, baby,” he said looking down the camera.

“We’re about to see who the biggest and the baddest in the world, one champion, one face, one name, something you were too much of a coward to do in your own country.

“You were a coward and you know this, your whole team know this. You said different things over and over. You manipulate, you’re compulsive liars.

“The audience put their hard-earned money into this, this is an emotional sport. Enough is enough. Joshua had a career plan and Deontay Wilder wasn’t in it from the start.”

WuzupNaija recalls that this is not the first time Wilder is attacking Joshua. In August, the WBC heavyweight champion said he was not impressed with Anthony Joshua’s biggest accomplishment –an eleventh round stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko in April of 2017.

While the win was impressive, there were some critics who felt the victory was tarnished with the fact that Klitschko was already 40-years-old, inactive since November 2015 – and coming off a twelve round decision loss to Tyson Fury.

Wilder is facing Fury this coming fall.

The win over Klitschko, which saw 90,000 fans pack Wembley in London, made Joshua a superstar.
