BREAKING: Sky Sports/Eddie Hearn Confirm Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder In 2018

I'd say less exciting to be honest. However, my point is neither has fans but Parker has the better resume than Wilder.

Let's just put it this way, atleast Wilder is exciting, many more people will tune in for the Joshua vs Wilder fight than Joshua vs Parker.


There is a legit chance that Wilder can spark out Joshua, I don't see that much of a chance with Parker.

but clever and knowledgable posters on here told me that joshua was ducking because the fight wasnt signed within 1 week of wilders most recent fight? Surely these smart guys cant be wrong?

[Redd Foxx]

Good stuff!! Glad Hearn stopped with that "fight Whyte, then I'll think about it" bullshyt. It's a little early to get excited as it's just negotiations but I'm happy that Eddie is on-board with this.

Wilder is hilarious, after seeing of those shots he threw against Bumane I'm beginning to think this guy regresses with every fight.

That was the most embarrassing display of boxing by a "heavyweight champion" that I have ever seen.

Of course not and once Wilder loses they will move onto the next unbeaten guy and claim they knew Wilder wasn't any good and the new guy will be the one who's striking fear into the guys they have irrational hatred for.

Never changes.

If talks just started how can anything be confirmed before those talks even take place. This is boxing, **** happens Joshua breaks his hand bad or messes up his shoulder lifting he is on the shelf for a year and sitting out a year makes him less marketable.

Same with Wilder.

If all goes according to plan but plans and heavyweight boxing are notoriously hard to pull off. So while talks are good, unless they are talks about the immediate next fight then they don't mean that much.

[BoxingTrav]

I'm excited for the fight. Both guys are strong, undefeated powerful punchers with a background in the Olympics.

Kings should fight Kings.

And for those who are being critical of Wilder's performance against Stiverne, are you guys serious? He got the job done. While the outcome was still in doubt we saw hard jabs and a sharp on the money right to drop Stiverne. What followed was showmanship while taking out a dead man.

Want to know why that is untrue~

No one really cares if Parker steps up, he is irrelevant.

People may not think Wilder is good but they have thought about him and want to see him step up.

One gets shown indifference the other doesn't, indifference is the enemy of a big fight and no one is indifferent on Wilder.

[Jewish-Reptile]

I don't think he intends to learn the finer aspects of the fundamentals. His windmills work for him I guess...

I'm wondering has there ever been a more protected heavyweight champion before fighting his cash out fight ?
