Absolutely no surprise, Wilder wants NOTHING to do with Whyte. A plain and simple duck. Too bad he will be mandatory soon.
I cant stand his ' im making this money for my daughter ' nonsense. What the bloody hell does his daughter want with rolls Royce's,pimp coats ,weed and las Vagas hookers he has to settle out of court with?
Wlad got in the ring with Joshua after Joshua fought Molina. Tyson Fury got in the ring with Wilder after Wilder fought Duhaupas. Wilder got in the ring with Ortiz after Ortiiz fought whoever the guy he fought before Wilder was. They do it all the time now
Lol mandatorys mean nothing to deontay, his next mandatory will be facing stiverne in the trilogy 5 years from now
None of these were big fights, that is the point. They were all very easy fights, nothing like Joshua vs Parker.
What the hell does that have to do with anything? Joshua-Wilder would be a bigger fight than Joshua-Parker wouldn't it? Hell, Joshua-Parker isn't even as big of a fight as Joshua-Wlad going in. Who cares if Wilder got in the ring afterward and called out Joshua ... except apparently Joshua. They didn't want him to show up because he is a great boxing analyst. They wanted him there to cause trouble. And Joshua doesn't want him in the ring. So what's Wilder supposed to do? Stand next to the retired boxers and holler from ringside where nobody in the audience can hear him? And then have Hearn drag Whyte out and say you have to fight him first? Wilder wants Joshua. It would mean more money to both sides than any of them are making against anyone else (because of the US PPV). Those guys are trying to push Wilder to the sidelines. So, to hell with them. I applaud him if he decides not to go. They don't need Wilder there if Joshua has no intention of fighting him next. If Whyte wants Wilder, he can come to the U.S., too.
anyway Cardiff is the capital of Wales, it just may be a bit too big time for wilder, he might go to Newport instead and fight a homeless tramp in a carpark, that would be more his style
This is a big fight Joshua is actually achieving something big by fighting Parker. Molina was just a keep busy fight, just like the Wilder fight you mentioned.
