'Bronze Bomber' in a fresh update from Dubai ahead of Pulev vs Gassiev, has confirmed they are already at the negotiating table.

"It is definitely becoming a real conversation," Wilder told

"Boxing is a business but sometimes it falls through, right now we are in talks for that fight, yes.

"I'm excited and looking forward to it. Once I get the final say-so and details, then my blood will be pumping.

"I am excited [for the potential of that fight happening], and once things become clearer, that is when I can go to camp."

On the Usyk call-out he added: "I wasn't surprised, I was 50/50.

"I never get opportunities, no-one gives me chances especially coming up because of the power.

"The power gets me less chances, and after the losses, people get brave and confident.

"It is crazy that you get more chances when you lose, when I was at the top and knocking people out, I didn't get chances."
