    Wilder needs to come over though....

    The money is in the UK now, not the US.

    The Lineal title is held by Fury and as long as Fury could potentially comeback then nobody can win that unless they beat him. The case could be made that the winner of a Joshua/Wilder fight would be starting a new lineage and could be considered the Lineal Champion but with Fury in the wings their claim would always be disputed.

    The WBC is only one of the four main belts in the division and it's prestige has been diminished of late due to the lower calibre of fighters contesting it recent years (due to avoidance of Wlad) and the failure of it's champions (or refusal of it's organization) to attempt to unify with the other belts - not to overlook the long periods of inactivity due to Vitali Klitschko deciding he couldn't defend it for a year in 2005 and again for almost 16 months between September 2012 and December 2013.

    Wilder wants the fight in Alabama, but if Joshua were to take him up on a fight in Alabama with 100 fans at ringside, Wilder would find another excuse...............Wilder claims that 90,000 fans at ringside are too many fans, he loves Alabama where the men are men and the sheep are nervous!

    Stop exaggerating Dino, I'm pretty sure even Wilder can give away more than 100 tickets, plenty of homeless in Alabama to fill up the arena, lol.

    Remember, Wilder has HAYMON BOXING INSURANCE, so Joshua will have to agree to take a dive to get Wilder into a ring, then Joshua can go back on his word and knock Wilder out! That would be funny.............

    Agreed. But as bad as the WBC is, the WBA is probably even worse.
