Comments Thread For: Wilder Says He's Working on Two-Fight Deal with Joshua; One in Saudi Arabia, One in Africa

[hugh grant]

Joshua better be careful he doesn’t get knocked out in round 1. I’m tired of watching this new style of his. I actually thought he was gun shy but he actually believes this new style of his is the way forward. He is 6ft 6 250lbs he looks ****** trying to fight like a 135lb fighter. He is too stiff and constantly gets caught in the face flush. There is no one here that is a bigger fan of Joshua than myself but he fought Helenius and I saw a plastic Viking bamboozle him, bloody his nose and close his eyes. He has immense power he should ****ing let’s his hands go so these fighters won’t be so confident to throw. Stop backing up and stamp your authority and will in fights. It’s ****ing annoying to watch. I always felt AJ would beat Wilder but now I’m not sure

Well, once Wilder is trying to take Josh head clean off his shoulders, the reality will hit Josh that it's kill or be killed. And Josh will put some oommph in his punches to get Wilder s respect.

There will be no second fight, Wilder is going to decimate him. Joshua is finished after this fight.

All this about bragging rights. When AJ and Wilder had something, they wouldn't take a chance. Now, one is shot, the other has gypsy issues, and they want more money? I'm with Frank on this, it isn't happening. Not for hundreds of millions. They've been demoted.

Among the dozen greatest Heavyweights the sport has produced during the past 50 years.
(See below, and don't bother to argue).

As an amateur, an Olympic medal.
As a professional, Clean record, top 5 ranked for going on a decade, Longstanding world title beltholder with many title defenses. Acheived top 2 in the world status, impressive numbers, very high KO ratio, almost always serious, focused and disciplined, great height and reach, well conditioned, well schooled, excellent power, pro grade B+ chin, very good resume, but even with all this; clearly lacking that One Historic win that other legendary champions can often claim. Excellent fighter.

This statement applies to Deontay Wilder AND Anthony Joshua.

Let's FIGHT Already!!!! NOW.

nigerian gdp sit at about $441b. It has 3 billionaires and close to 10,000 millionaires on the country. Now the gate may not reach Vegas or NYC range but with an international crowd and PPV targeted at the usa and the U.K., along with Saudi promoter backing, I don’t see any problem with the fight being hosted in Nigeria

————-
Nigeria is in the top 5 most corrupt and mismanaged country on earth.
Two, why would a Saudi promoter back an event that’s not in the kingdom?
If you had mentioned South Africa, maybe that’s a possibility after all Lewis-Rahman II happened there.

Just make Joshua vs Wilder!!! BOMBBBB SQUADDDDD!!!

And so it begins with Wilder trying to get out of the fight. He never lets me down. Africa is willing to pay 100 Mill apiece? Where did you get this from, huh? Where you got all the other stories from?

It's coming. "If it isn't a two fight deal with the rematch in Africa, i'm not fighting". Anybody who believes otherwise needs to stop smoking whatever it is they're smoking. It's all getting a bit too real for spoon legs.

[Sid-Knee]

Damn! How about just getting one fight over the line first? Sounds like amateur hour tactics to squeeze a bit more money out of the Saudis. Way too much talking in the HW division- fight more and proper fights on a timely basis - follow Usyk's example.

It's just Wilder trying to get out of fighting AJ full stop. Like it was every other time.

[Rockybigblower]

I think its forcing Fury into a no win. If Wilder and AJ take themselves out of the picture for the next 12-18 months...Fury will be forced into the Usyk fight.

[VislorTurlough]

Believe all of this when I see it
