    Hearn Shakes Head at Joshua Guarantee For Wilder Facing Whyte
    A few days ago, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) made it loud and clear that he was willing to fight Dillian Whyte - if promoter Eddie Hearn can guarantee, in a binding contract, that IBF, IBO, WBA world champion Anthony Joshua would be the very next opponent. Joshua returned on Saturday night, when he retained his belts with a tenth round stoppage over late replacement Carlos Takam at Principality in Cardiff.


    Eddie Hearn has insisted he will refuse to promise Deontay Wilder a shot at Anthony Joshua should he fight Dillian Whyte.

    How can they guarantee a fight in the contract if they haven't come to an agreement on the financials etc. Think about it.

        I want him to do a Mayweather V Pacquiao and delay it as possible because **** the fans. The fans were happy to pay for a past prime edition of Mayweather V Pacquiao, a year delayed edition of Canelo V Golovkin, Pacquiao fighting past prime fighters, Mayweather doing the same etc

        I don't blame Joshua for delaying it.

        You sound like a girl. I wish weird àss fans like you would just go over to ufc.

            The fight will happen next year, Wilder is smart though because all this hype and daily articles will just increase the purse by another 500k each time.

              Adonis is an idiot. I've followed him on social media enough to know his a total dummy. Just a complete idiot incapable of any sort of higher order thought. A little quote from him to prove it:

              Interviewer: So who do you want to fight next?

              Stevenson: "I'm superman, baby. I'm the best, baby. I'm superman, baby. I'm the champ, baby. I'm superman, baby. I'm superman, baby."

                  By Hearn's statements, absolutely. I don't think AJ takes charge of his career like Adonnis does though so I won't say he himself has the Superman attitude. Hearn does put him in that position though.

                    AJ never called anyone out, why would he do it now? He continuously said he'd like to fight Wilder. He's just showing Wilder who's the boss, and obviously it's not Wilder.

                    Wilder is desperate, AJ isn't. And it shows.
                    Can someone respond to this post please. Especially the bolded. Until real negotiations start, how is anyone ducking anyone? They literally both just had mando's and all we have is a few media soundbites.

                    I am more of an AJ fan but anyone who follows my post knows im a pretty fair unbiased poster. I think Hearn is doing his job building interest in the fight. The Whyte demands are nohing to do with sport, purely a bidness move to make the fight bigger. If they didnt want the fight they would simply not talk about him
