Heavyweight star Deontay Wilder set to make decision on boxing future in June

Deontay Wilder will reportedly come to a decision on his future in professional boxing next month.

“Wilder is the number one contender and you have Joe Joyce at number two, three is Joseph Parker,” Sulaiman said.

“I believe [Joyce and Parker] are going to have a fight for the WBO interim championship – we’ve had no confirmation but we will just wait and see what happens. There are some variables playing around there.”

Anthony Joshua is the big one with the two rivals circling one another for years without ever meeting in the middle of the squared circle.

Then, of course, there’s the possibility of a showdown with Andy Ruiz Jr.

This may all be little more than a
