The 29-year-old Brit is currently in the US for the final part of his training camp for his fight against Andy Ruiz Jr. on June 1, but he managed to find the time and share his point of view on the all-American fight that will take place this weekend in New York.
Britain’s unified champion has been preparing for Andy Ruiz Jr. at his training camp in Miami, but Joshua will be keeping a watchful eye as Wilder faces his former opponent Breazeale.

“Yeah, yeah 100 per cent,” Joshua told Sky Sports, when asked about watching Wilder.
“Styles make fights, I think Wilder will fare well against Breazeale. I think Wilder is too quick, he’s a very, very fast heavyweight, but Breazeale is tough, took me seven rounds.
“I hope Wilder does it in nine, so I can be like ‘hey I done it earlier’. You know how it is, comparisons and stuff, but yeah it will be interesting to see.
“You look at the small things, I look at the small details – when he’s getting tired, how many right hands he throws in a round. I look at something different, rather than comparisons to the rounds.”
