UK. Home advantage to the majority belt holder. UK. Joshua is the A side. UK. Money. If Wilder wins, or if he loses but performs well and there is a rematch then the US should be where it happens. His stock will rise enough to be worth a bit more money. If Joshua makes him look terrible and knocks him out then all his hard work of shouting and screaming about himself to gain interest would of been a bit of a waste of time.
Are you kidding me? More people in the USA could probably name the backup quarterback for the University of Alabama's football team, than know who Wilder is. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't AJ a household name in the UK? Nobody outside of die hard boxing fans know who Wilder is in the States.
Clearly the U.K. Joshua is the draw and he and his team should not risk fighting in the US. I like many people feel that if the pair meet that Joshua will win by KO but should the fight go the distance then both fighters should expect a fair shake from the judges, I do not believe that would happen in the United States.
Neither result supports that idea: If Parker loses he won't have a title. Nor would fighting him present a better money option than fighting Joshua. If Parker wins there is a rematch clause. So it would mean Joshua-Parker fighting again.
Tactically I agree Joshua should want it to be held in the UK. But there's nothing to suggest Wilder would get a fairer go in the UK than Joshua would in the States.
Of course, but eyes will be on him while he's the title holder - and he'd have to be the favourite coming in so long as Parker's win over him isn't reminiscent of Charles "I walk this man like a God" Martin's win over Glazkov
It's very likely that, after Wilder feels he has been accommodated enough, the fight will take place in the UK thus ticking the box entitled 'Hearn's Ego'.
I changed my vote to America. This is Joshua’s only chance to break the US market. It would of been a lot easier if Wilder fought better opponents up until now, but this is as good as it is going to get for Joshua.
You seriously think this fight will go the distance? plus refs over in the U.K. tend to stop fights far too early like in Joshua’s last fight. I can easily see Wilder’s beanpole legs been wobbled by a Joshua shot and the British ref jumping in prematurely.
Wilder didn't want to build up his american profile. That's the backside of cherrypicking weak opposition nobody cares for. So the answer is obvious. UK.
