Meanwhile, he has expressed interest in fighting against American boxer Deontay Wilder,

I am ready to make a deal but I can’t say that it’s close, because it isn’t.

“It all depends on if Wilder wants to be the undisputed champion. If he does, then we’ll get the fight made. If he’s not bothered, then he’ll swerve it,” his promoter Eddie Heard told Sky Sports.
