Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

- I hope that Powietkin will be patient, but if not, I think it makes no sense to give away the belt, so I will compete with Powietkin - said Joshua, adding: - I would prefer to fight with Wilder, it would be ideal if Powietkin waited until 2019.

 

The unification would likely generate somewhere between $50-100 million and some industry experts expect it generate even more - and since Wilder and his handlers have stated that a 60-40 split (in Joshua's favor) would fair - $12.5 million would be far below 40% of the financial take

“It was a take-it-or-leave-it offer,” Wilder's co-manager Shelly Finkel told The Telegraph.

“We will respond Appropriately in the next day or so with our counter offer. If Joshua is serious, we will take the fight. Deontay wants this fight. He doesn’t want anyone else.”

The first contest would take place at Wembley in London and Principality Stadium in Cardiff - and Wilder would have the option, should he win, to stage the rematch in the United States or the UK.
