He then faced a knockout defeat against Zhilei Zhang before AJ suffered a stoppage loss in five rounds against Daniel Dubois in September.

Nonetheless, U.S. Olympian and undefeated professional Richard Torrez is still keen on witnessing this epic confrontation.

Torrez, 25, stated to Sky Sports: “I am eager to see Wilder versus AJ. I want to see those titans go head-to-head.

“We need all those fights to take place. They are sure to be exhilarating.”
