Eddie Hearn says that Wilder has talked about unifying the division for years but not once has he reached out to other belt holders to genuinely try and make a fight.
Calling someone out on social media does not equate to sending an offer… All Wilder has ever done is call out opponents on social media and most the time his call out are made when the person he is calling out already has a fight lined up.
Hearn says Wilder and his team never made an offer or tried to negotiate a fight with Klitschko when he was champion.
When Fury became a champion Wilder or his team never reached out to Fury to try and make a fight.
No serious offers have ever been sent to Joseph Parker by Wilder or his team.
And despite him calling out AJ on social media everyday, Hearn was never contacted by anyone on Wilder team to try and make a fight AJ. So ask yourself, does this guy really want to unify.. He’s been talking about it for years but the only guy that is actually unifying the division is AJ.
The only real unification fight Wilder really tried to make was with Charles Martin when Martin fought on Wilder’s undercard and became champion setting up a fight with between these two. Charles Martin himself confirmed Wilder’s team contacted him regarding unification!
Wilder’s whole career has been guided to avoid any real threat. The fact that his first real test is happening in his 40th fight is just proves this. Many boxer retire before even having 40 fights.. but Wilder waited 40 fights before taking a step up in opposition.
