Eddie Hearn Responds To Deontay Wilder's Call Out

[Eff Pandas]

No forced situations? What are you even talking about? Sorry, but Joshua has NO claim to calling himself the hvw champion and people do not see Joshua as the champion. Only UK fans do. Joshua has one name on his resume and that's 41 year old Wlad who Fury beat before Joshua beat him. Sorry, but nice try. Joshua is not the HVW champion of the world sorry!

Cmon man. Lets not argue ****** sh^t. Of course most people see Joshua as The Champion, like it or not. Throw up a poll if you think you are right, but Wilder has done ****. Parker has done less then ****. And Joshua beat a legend. An old legend, but legend all the same. That easily makes him the guy to beat at HW. Again like it or not.

I get it. When Wilder calls someone out it doesn't matter. But when Ortiz tweets he wants Wilder 3 weeks prior to his fight, with no promoter, Wilder's ducking Ortiz.

Where did I say anything like that? Quit making sh^t up. It makes you look petty & just sorta childish.

Sh^t I didn't even accuse Wilder of ducking. I don't think he is actually ducking. I think he's taking the least risk for the most money. And if he fights someone who can beat him he'll do it for max dollars. This is a business move. Business moves aren't ducking.

That's how Joshua's fans think. Remember Wilder ducked Whyte according to them even though King is on record saying that he will prevent Wilder from fighting anyone else. Still Wilder wanted Joshua and was willing to get stripped to fight the man.

Still Wilder ducked Whyte but Joshua fighting Pulev is legit. They say, "Well the IBF"... **** the IBF. How long is it going to take to unify the titles? Pan, they're acting like Joshua is the HVW champion ffs.

Ortiz is a bigger threat than Wilder anyway. If Wilder wants to jump the queue then how about he actually faces Ortiz and eliminates him himself?

[Kigali]

Vlad is 100 times better than Stiverne, which is Wilders best career win......

Unlike Vlad.....Stiverne has never been KO'd

uh o.k...lol...you should re read your post again....i'll leave it at that.

No clue what you are talking about. Sometimes mandatories are legit opponents, sometimes you pick the legit opponents. Nothing crazy there for sane people.

And Wilder ain't do sh^t to punish Povetkin. That was the WBC. So again idk wtf you are talking about so maybe you are misunderstanding something or be more direct about my "error".

[Kigali]

What a weak, Joshua **** riding answer, lmao. You don't box so you don't even have the mindset to even talk the sorry **** that you're implying, lmao. Forced on him? **** are you lying about? The fight went to a purse bid and Wilder was ready to fight and Headvetkin took Meldonium. Case closed! And Wilder didn't take Meldonium, Headvetkin did.

Most people? This doesn't come own to what I like or "like it or not". The reality is Joshua is not the hvw champion of the world. I repeat "NOT" the hvw champion of the world!

Why would anyone call Joshua the hvw champion of the world for beating 41 year old Wlad who became a lineal champion before he fought Fury. When the hvw title is stripped, you don't give the lineal hvw title to anyone. It has to be earned by unify the titles or a clear number 1 fighting the clear number 2 in that division. Right now the titles are not unified.

Lennox was, Tyson was, Ali was, Holyfield was and even Michael Spinks was the lineal champion of the world. They were considered the hvw champions of the world. Tyson unified the titles.

That's how you become the undisputed, lineal champion of the world. What part are you missing? There is no most people think", lmao. They don't even know Joshua outside of the UK. Joshua has the world at his feet and he's choosing the Hearn path to success. Sure he will be rich, but he won't be recognized as the universal hvw champion of the world.

The unified & lineal bs is a dated concept. Getting all the titles together is someone virtually no one can do the abc groups are so corrupt these days. I mean feel free to name all the legit champions based on your logic over the last 20 or 30 years & I bet you'd be hard pressed to come up with a dozen guys in all divisions & a bunch of divisions have never even had anyone come close to that goal.

And like I said put up a poll who people feel is the real champion at HW & if you think the majority is saying Parker or Wilder you're wrong. Thats the beginning & end of the debate. Most people think Wilder is unskilled, even for a HW. Most people think Parker isn't that good. And most people think Joshua is the only HW guy with a belt who's done anything worth a damn. Thats the bottom line. Its not confusing or getting into silly lineal title debates.

Just as I expected, Team Joshua are preparing and willing to forfeit the WBA title, by getting stripped of it, for fear of defending it against Luis Ortiz.

Therefore, this leaves the window wide open for Luis Ortiz to claim his rightful place as a titleholder; Something that has always appeared to have eluded him ever since he has become the most avoided fighter in the heavyweight division.

So now he'll finally get his shot and I couldn't have been more happy for him. In addition, it's highly unlikely and very doubtful that AJ would even want to reunify the WBA belt just so long as Ortiz possesses it. He'll just perhaps challenge Joseph Parker for his WBO title instead.
