WBC heavyweight champion of the world Deontay Wilder will be in the house tomorrow night for the Tyson Fury vs Francesco Pianeta show at Windsor Park. He’ll be working as a commentator but the real reason he’s there is to build up a Fury showdown.
Wilder appears to have moved on from the Anthony Joshua fight, at least for now, as he narrows his focus onto the lineal world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
He got into Belfast last night and this morning has had the following message for UK fans:
Only a couple more hour UK and I’ll be officially in the building . Wild man Wilder is lit right now ? w/tons of British Fan to enjoy!

Expect some fun and games in the ring if Fury is to win tomorrow night.
One fan asked him about Anthony Joshua, to which Wilder responded:
He was a bitch about it and I didn’t have time for that. simple ??♂️

The above was referring to Wilder been due to attend Joshua’s last fight earlier this year, in a similar commentating capacity, which never materialized in the end.
On the potential Tyson Fury fight ahead, Wilder confirmed to PBC Jabs that it’s no rumor:
"I can tell you that the rumors are true."
