Despite years of talks, they have yet to fight each other. Following Wilder's most recent knockout win over Robert Helenius, rumors arose that he might face Joshua next.A fight between them would make sense at the moment, especially given that neither holds a title and both of them are trying to get into Championship contention. However, Wilder has doubts that he will fight Anthony Joshua next, or ever.In an interview with ESNews, the former WBC champion stated:"Joshua don't wanna fight me, it's plain and clear. I don't know why people keep asking about that… Everybody should've known when the $50m was offered and he didn't take it. Even moving forwards, Joshua don't want to fight."
