    What's going on with Deontay Wilder? How come no fights lined up?

    So far I've haven't heard anything from boxing media regarding a solid date/opponent for Wilder.

    Wilder hasn't fought since February and that fight was only a 5 rounder; and it's not like he broke a sweat in that fight, it wasn't a war.

    So what gives?
    So what's holding up Wilder? How come he hasn't made that unification with Parker yet? or made another fight, period?

    Has anyone heard anything?

    He was supposed to headline the Fox July 15 card.

              Likely will announce Wilder vs Stiverne II at the last minute. NONE OF US want that fight but I don't think we have a choice since the WBC just GAVE Stivernie that #1 Contender Spot by Default because of the Povetkin BS

              I think he should just go ahead and try to get Stivernie out of the way then head over to the UK fight either Dillian Whyte of Tony Bellew then look for AJ sometime next year

              I don't see him getting a Unification Bout with Parker! AJ might get Parker before he does because Eddie would put up the Money!

                  They're giving Stiverne extra time to get those roids out of his system.

                    Why doesn't Haymon just put up the money to lure Parker in then?! Hearn's money or Haymon's money ain't gonna make any difference to Parker's team, as long as the money is equal.

                    Better yet, offer more to fight Wilder. Make the fight so appealing that Parker's team cannot ignore it so we can see a Wilder v Parker unification and then a total unification of 2 belts vs 2 belts down the line.
