Now it’s been suggested he could play the former British champion’s understudy once again.
And his opponent could even be the tough Chinese customer, Zhilei Zhang, claim talkSPORT.
His co-manager Terry Lane stated:”Zhilei Zhang does indeed want to fight Deontay Wilder on the Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou undercard on March 8th.”
TalkSport boxing editor Michael Benson wrote on X: “It’s been reported that Zhang and Wilder may both be on the card, potentially even fighting one another.
“Wilder is such a great fighter. I open my arms to welcome that fight, that would be a great bang for the sport of boxing… Don’t overthink man, let’s do it.”
Intriguingly, both fighters have been touted as long-term opponents for Joshua.
Zhang currently holds the WBO interim title after defeating Joe Joyce.
He fought AJ in the Olympics in 2012, where he lost.
On his Instagram account Zhang wrote: “I lost to a better man 11 years ago in the Olympics. I’m happy we have both come a long way, gone through ups and downs in life.
“Now it’s time to do this for the sport of boxing and give it to the fans around the world. Let’s get it on!”
Wilder had reportedly agreed to fight Joshua in a stunning £100million double fight deal before his bout against Kiwi Parker.
However, a shock defeat left that arrangement in tatters.
