Comments Thread For: Joshua's Promoter Says Wilder 'Probably' Next, Rejects HBO Talk

It isn't next. Too close to the football world cup, he will not play this card in the wrong timing

He said Oct, Nov or December with no summer fight if it's Wilder.

Yeah, if AJ wins against Parker, then Wilder fight is next. Hearn is basically selling the fight in that video.

When you think about it, it makes sense for them to want in sooner. The longer they wait, the more likely it becomes a US fight. Although there's a potential windfall of cash, that's not guaranteed, and it probably makes sense to want to fight Wilder in the UK where they run the whole show. (And the revenue stream)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Hearn need a copromoter for a Vegas fight due to licensing reqs? If so, I see why he'd not want to go that route.

That would be fantastic although I truly hope nothing ****** happens during the negotiations.

[Cheek busting]

Hope they build it up a little bit more, think early 2019 is the best time for it, but if it's next, so be it

What do ya mean? If Joshua beats Parker, then they both literally just beat the next two best dudes at HW, and the fight is more than ready.

It ain't gonna get any bigger than after Joshua coming off Parker win, and Wilder coming back for that dramatic finish.

Summer UK is definitely the time and place

I'll remain cautiously optimistic he's telling the truth AJ going to HBO would destroy and chance of a Wilder fight it'll be Stevenson vs Kovalev all over again but worst

Boxing so goddamn f#cked up boxing fans even acting like businessmen now.

So Wilder's fight was not on PPV but he demands equal spoils? It's an interesting way of thinking.

Glad to read this. Let's hope he's being honest.

Lets not forget Joshua's opinion matters here & Joshua seems like a risk taker to me. And I think both guys believe they will win this fight so there will be few reservations by either guy.

I think the time is now for this fight. As long as nothing crazy happens vs Parker I think it makes all the sense in the world for it to happen next. Joshua is huge already. Wilder got a lil bump I feel off that fun Ortiz win. And if Joshua beats Parker both guys will have gotten the next tier down best guys out of the way so anyone else to fight feels like a huge drop down in class. The obvious move is Joshua vs Wilder.

Wilder's already said he'll take w/e cut as long as its reversed in the rematch. Hearn said that works.

Quit trying to go with old news like its current news.
