Joashua vs Wilder in Nigeria......make it happen!

9y ago

Joshua was born in London to Nigerian immigrants. He should fight Ugonoh there, another fighter of Nigerian descent.. Yeh but as Hearn says its gonna cost whoever ten million to tempt them and even then is it gonna be competitive who he faces ? Dude can face Wilder's opposition he's fought in the last 2 years and folk will stay pay for it, why put him in with Klitschko or Parker when they can get a Duhaupas and Szpilka.

The opponent would need a financial incentive to fight in Nigeria too - would be an expensive fight.
