Wilder vs Helenius not selling

[anonymous2.0]

The truth is a lot of heavyweights simply aren't available. Fury, Joshua, and Usyk are all putting themselves on the shelf right now so they're a no go. Ruiz and Ortiz just fought 2 months ago and Joyce last month so those 3 aren't options either and so Helenius is really the only option. It's still not a good fight and most definitely not PPV.

They had calls from Matchroom which they have openly admitted to not even picking up the phone to.

They just wanted this fight. Really is as simple as that, it made sense for them. Let's not pretend otherwise.
