Deontay Wilder press conference: WBC champion reveals next opponent amid Anthony Joshua talks

Deontay Wilder is hosting a press conference to make a "major announcement" regarding his next opponent and broadcasting deal. 

The WBC champion is a free agent, despite having longheld allegiances to Showtime, and streaming service DAZN are believed to have offered the Alabamian a $100+ three-fight deal.

A deal with DAZN, who have first option on British IBF, WBA and WBO champion Anthony Joshua, would bring an undisputed heavyweight fight to the forefront. 

However, wideheld belief is that Wilder will reject DAZN's offer and instead announce a fight with heavyweight challenger Dominic Breazeale. 

Breazeale was defeated in seven rounds by Joshua in the first defence of his world title.
