    This was talked about as a possibility by Hatman on his YouTube Channel.

    I am not big on Twitter but apparently Eddie Hearn is rumoured to be trying to make this happen so the Vegas date still goes ahead.

    Havent noticed it mentioned on here so far...

    This would be a great heavyweight fight night... but cant see it happening myself, still the Stiverne road block.

    Whats everyones thoughts?

    Would be decent.

    Wilder is still lucky to get away fighting a guy like Whyte who AJ has already beaten.

    Ortiz is still the odd guy out.

    But better than nothing I guess. Or better than Wilder fighting Bermaine who has looked horrid his last few fights.

    Still, I doubt it is true because I doubt Wilder would go for it even if offered.

    Wilder's ego is too big to be on Joshua's undercard

    Those were the wishful words of Eddie Hearn the boxing fan, not Eddie Hearn the businessman. He knows there is next to no chance this card can get made. The purses would be huge, Stiverne would have to be assassinated and I can't see Wilder or Joshua backing down and letting the other be top of the bill. The time zone would also alienate a lot of British PPV buyers.

    I think we're much more likely to see Joshua vs. Pulev in Cardiff with one of Whyte vs. Chisora II or Ortiz vs. some WBA bum as the main supporting fight.

    Yeah, my assumption aswell to be honest...

    UK PPV would take a hit and would they be able to push it as a US PPV? If so maybe they could put enough money in it...

    Pulev will get what a couple of Mil? Wilder the same... supposedly Wlad and AJ both took close to 10 mil + so maybe they could find money if they could make it a half decent PPV in the states...

    BUT again I still cant see the wilder/stiverne situation getting resolved to make the fights

    Sounds very optimistic. Wilder would never go on a Joshua undercard, and I don't think he'd fight Whyte either. The other two fights could fit though.

    Seems very unlikely to happen. Wilder wanted $7 mill to fight Whyte than combined with Joshua's purse makes it financially a no go, especially with it being outside of the UK where Joshua generates the most money.

    Even if it was financially viable, would Wilder want the fight and even if he did how does he get out of fighting Stiverne who isn't interested in stepping aside and fighting Whyte won't be a unification so WBC will need to grant an exception.

    Then of course does Miller want the fight against Chisora? Chisora we know will fight anyone but will Miller be willing to step up and risk his 0 for what will likely be a modest purse.

    Too many obstacles for this to happen.

    There's more chance of David Haye making a successful comeback than this pipedream ever taking place.

    Think your right... He wanted to do something similar a while back with that night of the heavyweights but on a smaller scale obviously.

    Would be great tho.

    Wilder Nicols II would be a nice opener.

    Nobody wants to see a bunch of UK bums. Keep them bums at home in bumsville. With the exception of Joshua.

    Wilder will never fight Whyte, he was offered $4,000,000 to fight Whyte by Hearn, but Wilder ran..................
