    Dear DiBella and Wilder,

    Anthony Joshua holds 3 World Heavyweight belts, and therefore, by holding the most belts, is the main man in the division.

    Now, unlike the WBC, these organisations have a system in place where an opponent is selected for the champion, based on their past victories and performances in fights.

    For example, we have the IBF mandatory system. Any man in the world, over 200 pounds, can become a professional boxer and work his way up these rankings to become the number one contender....which then earns himself a shot (Should he take it) against the World champion. As seen in the recent case with Kubrat Pulev, who the champion, Anthony Joshua, was ordered to fight.

    Instead of spouting nonsense about "Joshua is ducking Wilder", why not get your man, Wilder, in a position where Joshua has no choice but to fight Wilder?

    The answer is pretty clear to most boxing fans. As Wilder has never fought a top 10 guy, he has zero chance of becoming a mandatory of another other commission than the most corrupt....the WBC.

    Drop the belt, beat some live bodies and become AJ's 'mandatory'.

    Many people around here need to chill the fu ck out about Joshua - Wilder. If it doesn't happen in 2018, then you can bit ch and moan. Until then, nobody is ducking anyone.

    I swear, we have a bunch of 14 yr olds around here.

    Bowe ducked Lewis, while Bowe was the division's #1

    But in this case, I want to hear from Wilder first that he drops the 50/50 split and in the US, because then it just won't happen and you can't call it a duck.

    Hearn made it clear he will have to pay wilder more than hes worth otherwise the fight wont happen. If it were up to Joshua he would agree to 50/50 but Hearns not going to let that happen when he knows it should be no more than 30/70 split .
