Anthony Joshua wants to bring Deontay Wilder to the UK

Anthony Joshua is adamant that a fight against Deontay Wilder must be held in the UK, despite overtures from the USA. The Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, has hosted three Wilder fights, including his most recent two, and still want to tempt Joshua across the Atlantic. "I made our interests known to all the appropriate parties that we are in the big event business," Brett Yormark, the CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, exclusively told Sky Sports. "We have made an incredible commitment to the sport of boxing, which everyone knows, and we want this fight. "I know that Barclays Center has become a home away from home for Deontay and certainly he loves how he's treated and he's done very well in our building. "I think this is the biggest fight really for the next 10 years. I don't see a bigger fight than this. "There's nothing like the heavyweights, unification, two great personalities, so we have made it very clear - we want this fight in Brooklyn. "We're excited about the possibility and we're very hopeful. "We are truly the go-to venue in North America right now for boxing. We're the new Mecca.
