“P.S It’s all up to you in what you do with this huge opportunity. There’s many perks that comes behind it. Blessings.”

While Deontay Wilder was all class in addressing Andy Ruiz Jr., the same could not be said for Anthony Joshua.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ had blasted Joshua hours after his shocking loss with the following statements on Twitter.

“He wasn’t a true champion. His whole career was consisted of lies, contradictions and gifts,” said Deontay Wilder of Anthony Joshua. “Facts and now we know who was running from who!!!!”
