Wilder reveals Zhang’s bout could be his ‘last dance’

The 38-year-old is pushing for a match-up with the heavyweight champion after a failed fight in Saudi Arabia this year.

“I’m letting you know I’m ready to fight. Let’s make this the best time of our lives,” Wilder said.

“It is a fight everyone is looking forward to and hopefully it happens and I’m doing everything in my power to make it happen.”

Joshua, on the other hand, stated that he is preparing to fight in December, but his opponent is unlikely to be Wilder.

A bout between the two was supposed to happen in September, before potential hosts in Saudi Arabia backed out of the deal. As a result, Wiler and Joshua had to begin their negotiations form a scratch.
