Deontay Wilder boxing news
By Scott Gilfoid: It doesn’t look like the fans are going to be seeing a unification fight between WBC heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and WBC champion Deontay Wilder in 2018. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has given Wilder’s manager Al Haymon a $12.5 million take it or leave it offer for a fight, and if they don’t accept it, then they’ll move on to face AJ’s WBA mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin in their next fight, and then after that Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller.
By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay Wilder has reportedly been offered a flat fee of 20 percent for his unification fight against IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, according to Boxingtalk. If this offer is true, then it’s a big hint that Joshua and his management don’t fancy the fight with Deontay. Wilder not even getting a percentage of the gate and pay-per-view sounds bad. I can’t see Wilder and his management ever agreeing to that kind of a one-sided offer from Joshua.
By Scott Gilfoid: Anthony Joshua says he’s ready to give WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) a very good offer for a fight between them that he feels he should readily accept.
By Mark McCourt: A hot topic in boxing at the minute for many reasons. This must happen fight seems to have polarised fans. On one hand we have people that believe Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder is the baddest man on the planet, the cream of the crop of heaveyweights. With his ridiculous KO power he has the rest of the division hiding from him especially AJ and his outspoken promoter. On the other we have people that literally see AJ as the next coming of Muhammed Ali, they seem to think his quick rise to the top of the division and his exciting fight with Klitschko have shown him to be the figurative saviour of the heaveyweight division.
By Damian Poole: As of lately there has been an ever-increasing amount of talk surround the possible unification fight between Britain’s Anthony Joshua (21, 0-20 KOs) and America’s Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs). Some fan are saying, Anthony and his promoter Eddie Hearn are ducking Wilder, while others are saying Wilder is scared to face Whyte before Joshua a d losing his big pay day.
By Allan Fox: Deontay Wilder could be facing Anthony Joshua in a unification fight in September or December if Matchoom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn gets his way. Hearn says he’s putting together a deal in which Wilder and Joshua both take interim fights, and then if they come out victorious, then they’ll meet later this year in September or December, according to ESPN.
By Scott Gilfoid: Eddie Hearn is expressing confidence that the huge heavyweight unification fight between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder will take place before the end of the year. Hearn says he’s spoken with Showtime and Wilder’s adviser Al Haymon and he likes the chances of it happening.
By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Boxing head honcho Eddie Hearn doesn’t buy Deontay Wilder’s statement from today saying that he wants to face Anthony Joshua next in the UK, so he says he’s going to be looking to match AJ against unbeaten Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller (20-0-1, 18 KOs) if wins his fight on April 28 against former heavyweight world title challenger Johann Duhaupas.
By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) called IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s bluff on Tuesday by making a statement in telling him that he’s ready to fight him next in the UK if that’s where he wants the fight to take place.
By Scott Gilfoid: Eddie Hearn is convinced that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will be defending his title against #2 WBC Dominic Breazeale in his next fight in June or July rather than facing IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs).
