    They will move a bum into the top 15 rankings of the WBC and present him the next days ;)

    Thats really sad, cause there are already a lot of bums inside, but it looks like they are too much of a danger for Wilder...

    Because they have not convinced Holyfield, Bowe or Ruddock to sign the contract yet.

    Holyfield, Bowe, Ruddock, Williams, Botha, and Rahman are eagerly waiting by their telephones for the call to come!

    7 and a half weeks from fight date and no opponent named. Its clear Wilder wants to sign someone with as little time to prepare for the fight as possible.

    He's trying to figure out if Nichols is above or below 450 lbs. If he's under, no way he fights him and fight Scott for a dive again

    Wlad is fighting Oct 24th and opponent announcement and press conference happened what like 10 days ago. Wilder is fighting 4 weeks earlier and no opponent named. A true fraud.

    Wilder's team are obviously trying to find someone - they've offered Fury, Parker and others who aren't nobodies. I'd like to see him fight Lucas Browne, personally... Browne has been wanting a title shot, has been calling Wilder out and is probably one of the safer credible opponents for Wilder so one way or another it kills more than one bird with one stone.

    Do not believe that for a second. That's just a name Bum Squad threw in to make it look like they weren't just offering nobodies.

    I found out about that because it was mentioned by Parker's handlers, not Wilder's.... and Team Parker have decided to hold off on that for now, hoping they will get another opportunity in a year or two when Parker is a little less green.

    Peter Fury already said that if they had proper 8 weeks camp time they'd take the fight in a heartbeat. Problem is Wilder's handlers structure "negotiations" in a way so they don't sing the fight 9-10 weeks out from camp so however gets the fight will be less than well-prepared.
