    Do you think Wilder will look to fight Bellew in the UK?

    The UK HW scene is amazing at the moment and has been for some time.
    There are also big boxing events in the UK that get a massive audience and big exposure.
    Do you think Wilder would look to face Bellew in the UK. It is a fight that Wilder would be a strong favourite in to win. I am not sure Wilder would have been wanting to face Haye in the UK as it would have been far more high risk, but Bellew has a bigger HW win than Wilder has and is a small HW.

    Of course he will. He'll talk about unifying but will choose the easier option. It's pretty clear Wilder has no intention of ever facing anyone with a heart beat.

    I have a feeling that Wilder will wait until the right time to strike.
    What I mean by that is, lets say Wlad had of got through round 11 with Joshua and won in the 12th, chances are that would have taken a massive amount out of Wlad and with his age, so think Wilder would look to get that fight. ie timing if you know what I mean

    Probably - get some exposure.

    He'd be too much for Bellew, probably not one I'd want to see.

    I think England is the future for boxing at the moment. Wilder should come to England aswell as all the other top boxers.

    I agree. If Wilder defended against Bellew (and if that happens Wilder will not only win but it'll be a brutal stoppage) ... I think it would help the gate for Joshua-Wilder.

    England is the place right now. I love the atmosphere.

    Remember how you accused Parker of possibly ducking Wilder if he took up a fight with Bellew? Now look lol, your boy is being talked about a match up with Bellew.

    England has some very good HWs and it looks like more will be on the way with Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois.

    Wilder could possibly get some of the big fights in the UK

    The UK is definitely where the big money is right now. Boxing is still relevant there for the most part and the fans are usually invested in their local fight scene.

    I am sure Wilder would love to come to England and fight Bellew because this is the lowest possible risk at this stage. Not to metion that he would make a lot of money since England is the place where boxing thrives recently.

    I, personally, would rather see Wilder v Parker and Bellew v Usyk. It could be on separate cards or on the same mega event.

    Bellew won't take this fight. It's not a fair fight anyways.

    Most likely.

    Wilder has a history of going for the easier guy.

    Not saying its wrong or he's bad because of it. Just saying it as a fact to date.

    I think Wilder would take this fight. It fits his modus operandi.

    However, I have doubts that Bellew takes this fight. Its a dangerous fight for Bellew because Wilder will knock him out.

    That doesn't mean Wilder won't try to fight him.

    Pretty obvious that's a fight he's looking for. He looked to get into that verbal slanging match with Bellew when on camera for a reason. He sees the UK as a lucrative market and Bellew is by far the easiest choice, which is his modus operandi. I'd be shocked if this isn't the fight he has his eye on next. He'll keep talking about fighting Joshua but he'll put it off for as long as he can before cashing out.
