However, he has shown he isn't perturbed by the defeat, declaring during a speaking tour of the UK that Joshua could still face him

>“People ask me if I will fight AJ and I say a loss is not the end of the road,” Wilder told reporters.

>“There is enough room for everyone to get in with everyone and before I retire I want to say I was in with the best.”

>Wilder is also open to the opportunity of jumping ahead of AJ and fighting Ruiz in an undisputed showdown before their winter rematch.
