    Didn't Wilder knock out Audley Harrison in one round in the UK on a large card? Aren't Wilder's fights televised in the UK like Parker's are?

    What was the last Deontay Wilder fight that WASN'T televised in the UK?

    And Joseph Parker arguably lost two of his last three fights. Many fans and reporters in New Zealand didn't even think he deserved his vacant title win last year.

    I don't know how someone could honestly believe Joseph Parker is a bigger opponent for Joshua than Wilder is.

    Seriously. Did you think Herman's Hermit's should've been inducted into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame before the Rolling Stones, too?

    Is 'bland' your preferred choice in everything?

    Do you know how many times we demanded better fights from Wilder and we got mierda ? Each and every time

    That hasnt been the case with AJ at all, so nobody is ducking Wilder. His fraudeulent ways came back to hunt him. You can bet your house Wilder wouldnt be crying everywhere for a AJ fight if he would've made 20 M a fight. He'd be so cool and relax like Floyd lol

    But you cant become a star fighting bums after bums right Wilder fans ?

    I've seen the "waiting for the right moment" and the A side B side BS twice now. This is the 3rd time


    First two were May Pac and second Canelo vs GGG...at least those two were warriors that are legends in thier countries and are famous around the world.

    Wilder is the only one who truly deserves the boxing game to bite him back. And thats whats happening.

    Yes, but the fights would've been even bigger if they'd waited until the summer ... at least that's Hearn's thinking.

    Povetkin is fighting Hammer in a finial eliminator for Parkers WBO belt. There isn't one single reputable source on the internet that claims Hearn is in talks with Povetkins people . None.
    Joshua has two dates free during the whole of next year to make the Wilder fight.

    I prefer UK fights, because they are free and they come on at 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoons.

    The U.S. fans have been paying for PPVs for decades. Let the UK fans pay for them and get soaked for a while.

    Wilder got a deal with Sky Sports a good few fights back. Sky opted to stop showing Parkers fights after he dropped out of the IBF rankings. There's not a huge gap between them, but Wilder would definitely be more known and more popular.

    in america you have an excuse of your time zones but still east coast fights must start at about the same time.

    If its not Povetkin, its somebody else. The original mandatory was sent out when Wlad was still champion*Jan 2017*, and this mandatory has already been pushed back. There WILL be a WBA mandatory in AJ's next fight. That's 100% going to happen or he loses the belt.

    Wilder wants this fight and bad.

    Hearn is doing everything he can to avoid it.
