DEONTAY WILDER claims Anthony Joshua has had all his power cut off – leaving the American controlling when and where the world’s two unbeaten heavyweight champs fight.
WBC king Wilder says AJ‘s team spurned him “five times” but now the Brit has “nowhere to go”.
Wilder faces mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale in Brooklyn on Saturday but knows only beating Britain’s WBA, IBF and WBO champ Joshua would give him legendary status.
And the Bronze Bomber, 33, told TMZ Sports how he grew frustrated with repeated rebuffs from Team Joshua.
He said: “We did that five times. And they denied me.
“So I don’t want to hear him talking about ‘coming to see me’ because we came and saw you, ya’ll still ran.”
Instead Wilder insists there has now been a complete reverse of power, with AJ left with no negotiating strength.
And he believes the Brit hero has to chase the fight to have any credibility.
Wilder added: “Now you want me to come and see you? Nah. Now it’s on our terms.
“We’ll come and see you when we WANT to come and see you.”
First, though, Wilder is hungry to make Californian Breazeale pay for their angry exchange in a hotel lobby in Alabama.
He said: “When you make it personal for me, now I really want to hurt you.
“I’m the man with the big right hand, baby. I possess all the power!”
