Deontay Wilder was pleased to see Anthony Joshua knock Robert Helenius out in their fight in London on Saturday night, the American’s trainer Malik Scott has revealed.
Joshua beat Helenius in the seventh round with a crushing right hand and is now expected to fight Deontay Wilder next – possibly in January in Saudi Arabia.
But while the American has not yet publicly acknowledged Joshua’s victory, his trainer Scott has revealed some insight into the Bronze Bomber’s mindsight after watching the fight.
‘He (Wilder) was like “we needed that”. We both said the same thing because at first it was looking like it was getting ready to go the distance,’ Scott said to the October Red YouTube channel.
‘So when the knockout came I called him on FaceTime and he was like “I’m glad he got that, we needed it done just like that”.
