    This fight won't get much buzz at all and rightfully so

    None of his fights do, nobody knows him in US, he doesn't sell tix and his TV ratings are terrible.

    You've convinced me.

    Wilder's last fight wasn't so long ago anyway (mid July), so he shouldn't need a tune-up.

    He really must fight the AJ-Klit winner, Parker, or a legit top 5 HW in 2017.

    Which is why he won't be unifying any time soon.

    I can understand why he is having a tune up fight I mean look at Wlad, out of the ring for 13 odd months and is having a tune up against some English boxer next year..

    See they all need them...

    What a joke! Saw this coming from a mile away. Bet the Wilder fangirls will rush to defend it.

    Wawrzyk is no worse than Molina. So why give Joshua a pass for fighting him?

    I'll give you credit, you did call this a long time ago. I didn't think he'd stoop this low. I've defended him at times, but if this is true, there's really no defense to this.

    He's much worse than Molina, at least Molina beat a shot Adamek. Who did waw beat, a shot Danny Williams?

    Believe it or not, Wilder is one of the better draws of American fighters. His fight verse Spilka had 12,600 in attendance which isnt bad. I think he's around Danny Garcia level. Garcia vs Guerrero drew 12,000 in attendance at the Staples Center. I was at that fight :)

    1) Joshua was originally meant to fight Wladimir Klitschko.

    2) Joshua is only 27 and it was his 18th fight. Wilder is 31 and 37-0.

    3) It was Joshua's 2nd defense and Wilder is defending the title for the 5th time.

    Why the hell does Wilder need a tune up fight, he just fought? Many fighters get some sort of injuries in fights or during training camps, by this logic every 2nd fight should be a tune up fight.

    What a joke.
