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

[soul_survivor]

At this point, who cares? He has fought 1 world class fighter in his whole career and is on the wrong side of 30. The guy is done and entirely irrelevant.

It's difficult getting bums undeserved title shots. There's lots of red tape. He needs to get stiverne out of the way and then step up.

Too many trash cans at Home Depot to choose from.

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.

This makes too much sense.

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 working really hard for Parker, Team Parker seems to want to go fight Hughie Fury instead. I think they know Parker will lose to Wilder or Joshua and are just going to milk the belt.

Stiverne is the mando, but no info on if he is serious about it, or just wants some step-aside money.

Ortiz has been rumored to be on standby, and I feel he is Wilder's most likely next opponent.

LOL, He's young for a HW and will probably be AJ's main rival for a very long time. He'll be cashing fat checks and in the HW discussion for a long time yet.

DEAL WITH IT..

who the heck wanna taste his windmill anyway

[11player]

Ortiz?!!! that would be nice.

Now that he is with Haymon it might happen.

At this point I doubt Parker is an option still.

I hope he sets up the Stiverne mando fight for July opening up the rest of the year for a real nice matchup.

He will stall as much time as possible to have only one more fight this year ,he should have already been in training camp . Pretty clever actually when you look closely at how team Wilder has shuffled along from point to point and will fight a guy ,past his prime with average abilities who hasnt fought in over 2 years as his Mandatory opponent and 6th title defense !

NO I agree and I posted that before. People get upset that Eddie Hearn can get his guys Title Shots without earning it and even sometime get his guys Title Shots coming off of losses or rematches they don't deserve it is because Eddie is Paying Up!

Yes I do think Al or whoever need to open up the Check Book to get Wilder that Mega Fight he needs here in America! Gift and A Curse of not having a Promoter, the gift is that you keep more of your purse. The Curse is that becoming a Bigger Star becomes almost impossible without that Charismatic Promoter!
