ANTHONY JOSHUA has launched his “Undisputed” social media campaign in a desperate bid to force Deontay Wilder to finally fight him.
The British star, 30, is determined to finally land a unification fight with the Bronze Bomber and is pushing on all fronts to seal the deal.
Joshua has kicked off his ‘Undisputed’ campaign in a bid to fight Wilder
Joshua reclaimed his heavyweight world champion belts after beating Andy Ruiz Jr earlier this month and now he wants to become the undisputed champ by taking on the American.
Kicking off his campaign, AJ tweeted: “Let’s get Undisputed trending! That’s what I want & that’s what the people want..
“I want it bad! I came to take over & not take part!”
Continuing his push to fight Wilder, Joshua told the BBC: “I feel like it’s ‘Lord of the Rings’, the last ring, let’s get it on, let’s make history.
“It has to happen in 2020, we’re in the same division, same era…
“If these guys want to make history, especially Wilder because he has the last belt.
“We created history by becoming a two-time champion of the world and I feel like we can add to that legacy in 2020.”
Joshua has been forced into pressuring Wilder to fight after the American revealed “it will never happen”.
Earlier this month, Wilder claimed: “I don’t think we’ll ever see a unification bout.
“We’ll never see it, and I don’t want people to get their hopes up on it because it’ll ever happen.
“They couldn’t say anything about fighting me. They couldn’t mention my name. They went around me.
“I’m too dangerous. You’ve seen what I do in the ring. I don’t play around.
“And they know if Ruiz can get Joshua out of there, imagine. That’s why they stayed away from me.”
On top of that, the WBC have confirmed Ruiz could be given a shot at Wilder BEFORE Joshua.
