Breathtakingly disingenuous statement that.

Wilder had to work his way up.
Joshua has been handed everything and has every hometown advantage imaginable...

Wilder has tried to fight Povetkin And Ortiz in the past. The fights fell through cos those guys tested dirty.

Joshua ducked both those men.....

Don�t lie..

1. Deontay Wilder never ever called out Povetkin, you won�t find any articles or social media posts where he calls Povetkin out, Povetkin was his mandatory and they won the purse bid so Wilder had no choice but to travel to fight him or be stripped of the WBC belt.

2. Wilder refused to Fight Ortiz in 2015!! Ortiz looked really good back then coming of a Jennings win he called out Wilder but Wilder called him a cheat and said he�d never fight him.. watch the video and see for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIYy_fSHDzY

3. Wilder was mandated to fight Povetkin in his 37th fight.. So he waited till 37 fights before taking on a real challenge.

4. AJ called out and fought the guy that battered Povetkin (Klitschko) in his 19th fight and became unified champ in less than 20 fights.. so who is the one being milked, fed cab drivers and having everything handed to them again??

Wilder and Joshua needs to happen in the UK.I just dont think it will sell well in the US.It's a waste for it to happen in America, where Boxing is at a all time low.

wilder has had 39 chances to fight someone good and hasnt dont it yet. povetkin was one fight! what about all the rest? stop giving him a forever pass. he's been pro 5 years longer than joshua! did the povetkin cancellation take 5 years off his career?

joshua actually could have taken it easy and fought bums for years and years like wilder since he was a much bigger draw but he has more dignity than that.

The woman calls Wilder "Devontay" ffs this proves despite being the American heavyweight and an olympian with high KO rate.. no one knows him! He has been promoted awfully.. Hopefully this fight changes that. He's the heavyweight champ.. He shouldn't be mistaken for Devontay or DeonWho the basketballer.

She's a sidepiece. There to just look good while Stephen A. Smith goes off on someone. Just ignore her

It's rewriting history to say Stiverne wasn't a real challenge when Stiverne was considered #2 in the world at the time.

That was Deontay's 33rd fight. Some would say that's being brought along a bit slow before getting your first title shot, but you have to keep in mind two crucial elements.

#1 - Deontay started boxing at such a late age and his amateur career was so short, that he couldn't be rushed along like fighters who had so much more experience before turning pro.

#2 - Deontay was knocking everybody out so fast early in his career that it would take a dozen fights just to get 10 full rounds under his belt.
