I totally disagree.The rivalry between the Brits and the Yanks in boxing is the most intense out there and the money that the fans are willing to spend is much greater. The Brits have long wanted legitimate heavyweight bragging rights, they have it now and the Yanks want it. It don't get no better than that. I am not talking about a few million, I am talking about May/Pac money. Plus they are undefeated heavyweights and a knockout is practically a guarantee, It don't matter where the fight is held, in England or the States, it will be huge.

Christ, imagine Bellew vs Joshua...Comment

LOL, What the hell???
He didn't call out Shannon Briggs, he gave him a shout out to give him props. Joshua and Briggs are friends. He was giving him a shout out.....SMH
He mentioned Fury and rematch with Wladimir based on Max Kellerman's questions. Kellerman mentioned Wilder at the end.
Joshua was on a radio show a few days ago saying if Wilder wants to fight he will fight him too.
Lol, stop making something out of nothing.Comment

Unbelievable. Wilder, Ortiz, Parker, Pulev, ***... I'd even call Povetkin a legit call out.
Hearn and Joshua think he's already done everything that needs to be done.
And people are actually coming up with excuses. Hint guys; when your fighter does something really embarrassing, you don't have to defend it because he's only embarrassing you as a fan.
Lol, smh
Don't listen to these guys Redd
Joshua did not call out Shannon Briggs to fight. He gave Briggs a shout out to give Briggs props. Joshua and Briggs are friends.
Tyson Fury was mentioned and a rematch with Wlad based on Kellerman's questions. Wilder was brought up by Kellerman. Joshua gave props to Wilder's too and said he'll fight anyone that he's not ducking anyone.
Lol, these guys on here trying to make something out of nothing. Lol, SMHComment

Wilder simply doesn't have anywhere near that draw though. Not even close to either Pac of Mayweather. It's arguable that even Parker is as big of a draw as Wilder, based on what we know of their respective pay packets.
The reality is if Joshua fights anyone, it's a massive fight. I don't think Wilder brings anything to the table that the other top heavyweights don't bring, in terms of draw.Comment

He SHOULD call out Fury. I like to think Briggs was just a joke.Comment

Naw, in England Joshua's fights might be massive but not in the States. We do rally around our own and if this fight were to be made, the hype machine would blow it up bigger than life. I don't see no fight out there with the potential of a Joshua vs Wilder fight. Here's another thing, there could be half the crowd over here that was in Wembley but there would be more money generated than at Wembley. That fight is gonna happen, no doubt about it. Too much at stake.Comment

This will be such a big fight!!!! US vs UK in the UK infront of 90K , Wilder chicken less crumbling under him will be great to watch!!!Comment

I cant see it happening the Fury team will want 50 / 50 split when they will be offered no more than 30% if he gets his license back. Also who would trust the Fury's would turn up unless they put some money in esgrow for a no show. I cant see it happening no benefit for Joshua, he can fill that stadium with a number of the current contenders who are more relevant.Comment

Joshua doesn't need to go to the states though. It's rumoured that this fight sold in excess of 200million PPV buys.
US is a big market, for sure. But it's not bigger than Russia, Ukraine and Germany, who all really get behind the Klitschkos. Hell, Vitali is so popular he became a politician.
Wilder just doesn't have that many fans. It's sad but it's true.
If Hearn doesn't want to risk Joshua in a fight with Wilder, he doesn't have to. Unless Wilder dramatically raises his profile, the reward won't be enough for Hearn to take it.
To be fair to Wilder, none of this is his fault, and by trying to fight Parker he is going after another belt which would significantly increase his stock.Comment
