Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder - Liverpool Premier League legend makes his prediction

Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder will both appear on the same bill on December 23 and they’ll each be looking to send a message to each other.  

The longtime rivals will share the spotlight next month before hopefully agreeing to a huge showdown in 2024, shown live on DAZN, that will see the pair finally step in the ring together. 

A potential showdown between tow of boxing’s most entertaining fighters is likely to do huge business and the entire sporting world is excited by the prospect of it.  

John Barnes, a footballing legend with Liverpool and England, is one such person and he’s delivered his verdict on what could be a heavyweight classic. 

“I’m a little bit worried for AJ because Wilder has one hell of a punch,” said Barnes when speaking to DAZN via Stakefans.com. 

“Once AJ comes under pressure, we’ve seen what happens, but Wilder hasn’t fought in a while. Because I love AJ, I’m hoping his chin can hold up to one of the haymakers from Wilder so I’m going for AJ.”
