Comments Thread For: Larry Holmes: Joshua Should Face Wilder in UK - Not in America

[P4Pdunny]

He’s right, they’ll prob fight more than once so do the second stateside.

Wilder should at least make a statement by fighting someone like Whyte in the UK, if he beats Whyte comfortably then that will give him some UK Exposure and help build the Joshua fight more, in turn allowing him to make more demands. As things stand he's not a big name in his own country, let alone in the UK.

If he is so desperate to fight Joshua as soon as possible then he needs to make concessions and fight Joshua in the UK. He cant have it both ways.

Anthony Joshua and Matchroom will decide when and where this contest happens. Fighting Deontay Wilder will be just another day at the office for AJ. For Wilder this will be his lottery ticket. Big dumb black man from Alabama. He's like a character out of an Edgar Allan Poe tale. The Gold-Bug in particular.

Holmes is right though, in Vegas its big fight but hold it in front of 90k at the most famous stadium in the world its a huge worldwide event. AJ is the one most consider the real Heavyweight champion and the man that puts bums on seats, Wilder so far has a track record for just putting bums in the opposing corner.

[McNulty]

Holmes is right in terms of economics and AJ's career. But will Wilder get a fair shake in the UK with their most prized posession? Probably not.

I thought they stopped it premature with Vlad.

lol wilder said last week that Joshua is barely known in U.S.A, but Deontay is Hardly known in the U.S.A himself, if they really want the maximum purse then it surely would have to be over here, Then if it's a great competitive fight like I expect it to be, That in turn leads to worldwide attention on a rematch in Vegas which would only be fair and it would also become HUGE PPV numbers too.

People saying wilder doesn't deserve a fair share of the pot because of his own Figures I disagree with, He still has a title and a bit of character which would add intrigue plus be Entertaining..

Of course, Beyonce Wilder has to make the trip. Joshua dictates everything at heavyweight. He is the boss of the division.

He won't be after the fight

Yes listen to one of the greatest. The Easten Assassin

You'd be calling him a monkey if he said AJ should fight Wilder in the US.

[Kigali]

Holmes is right. THE most money for this fight is in England. Wilder just needs to pipe down and stop gettin' his tittzin an uproar. Maybe the rematch in Vegas after Joshua annihilates him, but fight #1 must be UK bound.

AJ is the one getting annihilated mexican.

Larry Holmes is just another hating as old-head hating on 'Young-Money' the new face of American Boxing -- he really is on board with the rest of the American geezers cheering for Joshua, because they want to see Deontay ' Bronze-Bomber' Wilder fall and thereby keep these relics relevant as the best America has ever produced.

What disgraceful quotes from this geezer trying to send Deontay to the UK to get robbed. I'm so disappointed in these frauds -- support your own!

Everyone is Wilder's hater for you... Tyson, Holyfield & now Larry Holmes...

Yep, only Wilder is a 'truth' for you.
