    How in blue hell can Hearn demand Wilder come to the UK to fight Dillon Whyte ?

    Wilder is a world champ. He does not need to fight Whyte

    He has earned the right to fight Joshua straight up

    Wilder has said he will come to the UK

    It is therefore in Joshua/Hearn's corner as to whether the fight happens or not

    Let's not **** it up by being cutsey. It needs to happen now while both fighters hold belts and are undefeated

    Exactly....

    Wilder is desperate to fight AJ and his interviews are brilliant explaining it....I think Wilder causes AJ nightmares

    Wilder is being offered 10 times what he gets normally, to fight AJ. But it's not enough.

    Hearn is happy to go straight to AJ -Wilder, but Wilder is pricing himself out the fight.

    Wilder maybe happy with chump change beating up on obese 39 year old Rastafarians, until retirement?

    I don't think Wilder fights AJ next year, or Parker or Povetkin. I think Wilder is chicken.

    Fights a ATG like Wlad in his 19th fight but is scared of some windmilling Yank bum with sparrow legs. Yeah right.

    Of course he isn't. He would absolutely destroy him.

    Use some common sense.

    Wilder is after a large split of the purse which he doesn't deserve.

    Fight whyte and then he will get the £ he wants.

    Until then carry on fighting for 1m a fight if you like.

    No.

    Joshua has a better resume when 50% less fights on his cv.

    Remember if Wilder wants this fight so bad there is nothing stopping Al Haymon making Joshua an offer. However we all know that isn't going to happen as the fight only happens with the money AJ brings to the table.

    I've always said Joshua KOs Wilder easy but it certainly looks as if Joshua & team aren't too keen.

    Lets not carried away by Wilder's fight last night. Ex boxing manager & fight fixer Charles Farrell called this months ago & I agreed, hence it came no surprise that Ortiz p1ssed hot, that last night's fight was a fix. That wasn't a real fight. That was a business move to give Wilder more of the bargaining chips for the AJ fight, and of course to make his record look even more impressive when that fight comes around.

    Wilder was signed up to fight Povetkin IN RUSSIA until he got done for PEDs...He was also signed up to fight Ortiz until the same thing happened....BOTH of them are light years above Whyte

    He would also KO Parker early imo

    No excuse for any duckers now - they will both make a fortune from the cohort of PPV mugs.

    Can see Hearn building towards either Haye or Wilder next Summer- it wouldn't shock me if Joshua fought Kabayel next after last night's results.

    Joshua's ducking nobody. His career is progressing just fine. He definitely wants to fight Wilder the same as he wants to fight Parker, Fury and the rest of them.

    It's just Wilder isn't the obvious fight that needs to happen right now. If Joshua would've KO'd Wilder in the first few rounds this weekend, I don't think he gets that much credit for it. Wilder would instantly be labelled a hype job.

    Seems a bit of a waste fighting Wilder now when such a large chunk of the boxing community think he's a joke and so few people have even heard of him.

    Wilder takes out a couple of legit top 10 contenders including Dillian Whyte, then suddenly the momentum gathers at a much larger pace.
