I wouldn’t be surprised if Joshua gets him first.

Brits pay more than yanks, also London is closer to Moscow so make your guess who's got priority

You can blame him for cherry picking tho.

How do you figure. Fighters rarely choose when they fight someone it's mainly on promoters and mandatory fights. This is from the WBC prez not wilder. If Wilder had his way he would have fought all these guys long time ago. For anyone to say that Wilder waited for povetkin is nonsense. Almost 2 years ago Wilder went to his backyard 2 weeks before he failed not his fault. And Wilder is going to everybody's backyard because he's not getting the respect he deserves as a boxer.

In every interview every world champion will tell you that it's his decision who is he fighting next, not promoter. Wilder is no different, he choose who he's gonna fight next and it was his choice not to step up 10 fights ago.
Boxing fans have all the rights to blame him for his choices regarding his career.

Stop talking crap, Ortiz is not mandatory and Wilder doesn't fight mandatory unless it's fat Stiverne.

With Ortiz being the next big thing outside parker-Joshua why is that a problem for Wilder to fight him now. I understand people just hate the dude for personal reasons. But sorry Ortiz is not just a bum. And if people choose there opponents why didn't Joshua pick Wilder now instead of parker. O that's right....... So who would you rather Wilder fight? Without being mad who he goes up against? And if Ortiz fails a drug test would you be mad he fought povetkin? It doesn't make any sense that people get mad when he fights what he can get. Stiverne was a replacement for when Ortiz failed the first time. Would you say Wilder just shouldn't fight ever because guys failed drug test?

Also he doesn't deserve the respect he didn't earn.

Hahahaha what sport have you been watching?

Nearly every time a fighter is asked after he wins who he wants to fight next, the answer is some variation of "I just focus on fighting, I'll leave it up to my team. I'll fight whoever they put in front of me."

That's my point people don't respect him because he didn't get the chance. Failed drug test broken hand. He doesn't get a fair Shake. Some people just get pissed at him for it, like it's all his fault.

He tried to step up and what the fighters failed their drug test. He can only fight when he can get. When would you like him to fight other people and how. Joshua's always too busy. Same with Klitschko who Joshua only fought because Tyson Fury went into rehab. I want to see where you were to squeeze Wilder and when these Fighters already had their own fights planned. Give me some dates and I will show you what those other Fighters were doing. And and you will see the ones wilder did have failed their tests. Why is that wilders fault
