Turk Al-Sheikh wants to see a fight between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. It's a fight that will draw a lot of interest from fans worldwide despite both former heavyweight champions being past their prime.

Joshua-Wilder is a fight that the boxing world has wanted to see for the past decade, but the two have never been able to put a deal together. Like Deonte's right hand An old landmineBuried in the earth for 60 years, but still dangerous. If Joshua triggers that right hand on Deontay, he'll sleep.

Wilder's career has sunk less than Joshua's, but they're both on the same level chin-wise. Joshua, 35, was crushed in five rounds by IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois on September 21 in London.

Turkish plan

If Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) comes through with a fight against former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs), the Turk wants him to fight contender Martin Bacall in Africa. Bakole will fight Efe Azagba in his next bout.

“I want to see Joshua and Wilder now. If Tyson is not available, why not Joshua and Wilder? Said Turki al-Shaykh TalkSport Boxing About wanting a fight between the recently defeated Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua.

“We finished the fight between Bakole and the Nigerian fighter, Azagba. Next, we want to see Joshua opposite Bakol. Me, I want to see this fight. Do you know where I would like to see it? I want to see it in Africa.”

Wilder has a confidence boost against traveling Curtis Harper on April 26th at BLK Prime in Atlanta. With how poor Deontay has looked over the past five years, you can't rule out the 36-year-old Harper's chances of winning.

Turk didn't say that he would still be interested in using Deontay as AJ's opponent if he gets beat by Harper, but you have to assume that would disqualify him. Wilder's record is 1-5 in his last six fights.

It's bad enough that Deontay has lost four of his last five fights, but a loss to veteran Harper would be a clear signal that he's not worth using as Joshua's opponent.
