WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder thinks that IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s promotional teams is protecting their “gravy train” fighter by not willing to put him in with a risky fight against himself, and by focusing on matching him against beatable opposition that present no risk to their money train.
