    Yes the devastating bronze bomber wants that 60 to 40 split in the states Joshua. Don't take too long to mull it over. Deontay's not known for his patience.

    First half of that is promising, 2nd half suggests it won't happen, he clearly still wants 50/50 if we read between the lines. Don't think it happens in 2019 if that's the case.

    No point in saying that now when Joshua is scheduled to fight in June and won't be ready for another fight till the end of the year.

    Wilder lost belief in his chances against Joshua after he fought Fury and is now ducking the fight hands down.

    Has to be able to beat Breazeale first. That's no guarantee.

    Yawn. Wilder does not want to fight Aj,
    as usual, he comes out with this kind of BS after Joshua has signed another fight. When Joshua is free and sending contracts you won't hear a peep out this fool.

    I expect Wilder vs Breazeale to be very competitive, all Wilder’s fights at that level have always been competitive, because of his lack of skill, but Wilder will KO him, or force a stoppage eventually.
    Yeah will be glad when the Joshua vs Wilder Fight is signed, the build up has been far too long, just want it over with. Joshua bs Fury will be a interesting fight to watch, if Fury keeps at training I do not know which way it will go.

    The positive I take from this is it now may mean the lines of communication are actually open and there can now at least be a discussion.

    The negative is if Wilder refuses to move on 50/50 then it's not happening. He has give ground.

    Ortiz is better than Breazale.

    Wilder is out in the cold. He is at a dead end. We all know he is avoiding Whyte. So with that in mind, Eddie and AJ should NOT give in to Wilder's demands. Wilder will have to face AJ eventually, the options are running out. He has breazeale, but then who after that really? This is now about legacy for Wilder. Stiverne III and Ortiz II aren't going to achieve that.

    He's faced all the fat men other than Pulev who is locked in at ESPN. He has nowhere to go but face Joshua/Fury/Whyte.

    AJ doesn't need to swallow any pride. He's got Wilder where he wants him. Joshua can just continue facing bums for crazy amounts of money, his financial situation is secure, and his legacy will be too. Wilder NEEDS Joshua, but not the other way around. Things have changed for AJ. It's no longer a case of 'Wilder or bust'. He's got Usyk and Fury to feed off for legacy now.
