Lennox Lewis on Anthony Joshua's position

"I think the second fight [between Wilder and Fury] should be in Europe. The second fight is going to be terrific, the fans won't be disappointed one bit. The fact it's a draw and there's going to be a rematch, he's [Joshua] basically frozen out for the next fight. It's going to take more time."
