The former heavyweight world champion, who had won the title twice, was in a video with a supporter who asked, “Come on champ, let’s go. Hey bro, you’re gonna beat Wilder?”
Joshua replied, “That’s what’s happening, you know what’s going on.”
The fan asked once again, “It’s going to be in December?” .
Joshua nodded his head and then responded: “It’s public news, we’re getting it down, we’re throwing it down in December.”
The fan added, “You better get that W,” Joshua who recently recorded a unanimous decision win against Jermaine Franklin ended the conversation, “God willing."
