It now remains to be seen if Wilder's arrest has any impact on reported negotiations for a fight against Anthony Joshua.

Wilder bounced back from two straight defeats to Tyson Fury with victory over Robert Helenius in October.

And he is now thought to be targeting a showdown in Saudi Arabia against British behemoth AJ.

Wilder boasts a brilliant 43-2-1 record, as well as a stunning 97.67 per cent knockout rate.

But another chance to reclaim the WBC title against Fury has not been ruled out yet either.

Wilder hails from Alabama in the US.

He is currently engaged to Telli Swift, with the couple sharing a daughter together.

Wilder was previously married to Jessica Scales and had four children with her.
