Why won't Deontay Wilder fight outside the USA?

Anthony Joshua's past two world title fights have been outside the UK (New York and Saudi Arabia).

Great fighters like Ali, Frazier, Tyson, and Lewis all had world title fights outside their home countries.

Yet Wilder refuses to travel outside the USA to defend his belt.

Why does he always need home advantage? Why is he so protected?

 

Where exactly would he fight ?

Saudi is no safe haven

 

What about the time he agreed to fight Povetkin in Russia?

Checkmate!

 

Apart from Fury and AJ, there is no need for him to travel outside of the states.

If a package can ever be put together to fight Joshua, I think he maybe tempted to fight at Wembley stadium. Still there, US venues will do.

 

Once upon a time he took a plane to Russia

 

He tried to fight Povetkin in Russia.

 

actually he only flew to England then he went back to the U.S I believe.

 

C'mon Wilder isnt the only one. When did Mayweather ever fight outside the US in a serious fight ?? What about Ward? What about Jones jr ? What about Calzaghe he never left Britain right till the end

 

I can't wait to see the conspiracy theories about how Wilder somehow contaminated Povetkin's blood.

Guys go where the money is. Fury didn't come to the US because he's afraid to fight at home, he came for the contract. Same reason Joshua went to Saudi and so on. I'd like to see Wilder fight in Ireland (he has gotten a good reception there), but most American fighters make their money at domestic casinos, NYC or LA.

 

Cause he don't need to. Ain't nothing missing here.

 

"I don't want to go there - it's too cold". He sounded like a 5 year old, whining about it.

And his management got VADA to come up with false charges of PED abuse for a microscopic trace of something that had been legal a few months before. So Wilder had his excuse to duck Povetkin and not fight outside the USA.

But chickened out.

 

They don't allow donkey to take his steroids outside of Alabama.

 

Also to people claiming the Povetkin fight counts as overseas... he didn't fight him and the only reason the fight was going to be staged in Russia is PBC lost the purse bid for the fight and Wilder would of been stripped had he refused after the bid Wilder had no say in that fight being in the U.S.

 

Calzaghe left Britain for his biggest fights in fairness, most of his best opponents until Kessler had been Brits too. Ward was a total *****. Mayweather was a *****. Roy seemed to be a bit of a hometown fighter too. No one thinks any higher if them for this.

 

What about the time he destroyed the mighty Audley Harrison in 70 seconds in Sheffield? Double checkmate.
