Deontay Wilder boxing news
By Damian Poole: I’m going to keep this article as short as possible. But I want to cover all the news surrounding the unification fight between Anthony Joshua – Deontay Wilder and all the misleading information that’s been posted around by Wilder’s managers.
By Scott Gilfoid: Anthony Joshua’s eager promoter Eddie Hearn says his fighter wants to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) at Wembley Stadium in London, England this September.
By Scott Gilfoid: Eddie Hearn’s flat fee $12.5 million offer made to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is not what he and his co-manager Shelly Finkel are looking to get for a big unification fight against IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. They want a MUCH better deal than that, which could come out to a split of nearly 90/10 in favor of Joshua if Team Deontay had agreed to it. Hearn is going to need to sweeten the pot considerably if he’s going to get Wilder to agree to a flat fee.
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.
