All eyes are on a potential Anthony Joshua v Deontay Wilder fight after the former's victory over Joseph Parker on Saturday night.

The Principality Stadium bout won't win any awards for entertainment, but a shrewd performance from Joshua saw him add the WBO strap to his collection. Only Wilder stands in his way from becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

Nevertheless, negotiations between the two teams haven't run smoothly and it's very worrying for fight fans with such a narrow window for the match.

Both teams claim that the other is ducking them with debates over the location, split and the role of Dillian Whyte continuing to rage on.

Shelly Finkel seemed to have calmed the matter by insisting Wilder would be willing to fight in the UK and for a slightly smaller purse than expected, but the 'Bronze Bomber' himself remains touchy.

Wilder unexpectedly talks up Breazeale fight

After failing to attend the Joshua v Parker fight in person, the WBC champion gave an interview with BoxingScene.com about the possibility of fighting Joshua and what would happen if things well through.

To say his answer will infuriate boxing fans, would be putting it mildly.

Wilder hypothesised: “Breazeale could be a possibility to fight next.

“We definitely have unfinished business. I wanna hurt him really, really, really, really, really, really bad. That is something that we’re gonna be putting on the table, along with a lot of other things as well. We’ll see what happens. We’ve still got a lot of choices to choose from.

“It might not be what people will wanna see, but this is boxing and certain things happen. We can only do what we can do. When people don’t wanna fight, then we have to move on. And when Joshua’s ready to fight, then we’ll make the fight happen.”

Breazeale, really? While the American is still an accomplished heavyweight and Wilder far from dismissed Joshua, it will seriously underwhelm supporters.

Wilder fell into Eddie Hearn's trap in the process

Moreover, his comments look all the more painful up against what promoter Eddie Hearn had said about Wilder flirting with a Breazeale fight before Parker v Joshua.

"Dominic Breazeale!? Who Anthony boxed five fights ago, in his first world title defence, his sixteenth professional fight, didn't lose a second of one round and knocked him out in the seventh round."

Now that's a mic drop moment if ever there was one.

There's every reason to suggest Wilder will take the Joshua fight, but he's certainly not convincing fans that he'll do everything to secure it when he's talking up a match that few want to see.

The 32-year-old would gain little to nothing from knocking out his fellow American and could see the window for a Joshua fight close in the process. Let's get to the point, Deontay.
