Can someone point me to the link/video of Wilder saying he's not coming that apparently happened during the last 6hrs while I was sleeping I guess? Or is this fake news that people are running with?
Most of y'all talking fanboy weird sh^t one way or the other. I just want the legit story. Assuming there is actually one.

"The fight is not made. They can shout at each other from ringside, and I'm sure they will - but if Wilder just wants to come over and cause a scene to raise his profile on the back of Anthony Joshua... Joshua is not big on that," Hearn explained to BoxingScene.com.
"If you want to make the fight, great, come over and sign the contract. This is the fight of Joshua's career.
"If successful, we will do our interviews and he will get his family in the ring like he always does. He's not going to go head to head with someone else, after putting his heart on the line with Joseph Parker.
"But its a big opportunity for Wilder to come over to the UK. There will be a lot of eyeballs on him next week. It's a good opportunity to build his profile.

I get that we have a lot of teenagers on this site who think grown men are always "ducking." But it's a little disingenous to pretend that Hearn isn't changing his tune in an odd manner.
“Joshua is not really into hype,” says his promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. “He likes business. If there’s a fight that’s happening, there’s no problem. But Wilder is talking about getting in the ring… this is not WWE. The fight is not made.”
“If [Wilder] wants to come over, get in the ring and all that stuff – I just prefer it if he had a fight in place to talk about,” Joshua chimed in. “Because if not, it’s just hype.”
If that's how they feel, fine. But I think this is more telling:
“They can shout at each other from ringside, and I’m sure they will,” Hearn said. “But if Wilder just wants to come over and cause a scene to raise his profile on the back of Anthony Joshua… Joshua is not big on that.”
The optics of Wilder jawing with Joshua and the latter firing back as he leans over the ropes will make Joshua appear the more dominant of the two. In other words, despite what they say, Hearn and Joshua are interested in the hype, as long as they control it. For now, they prefer to keep Wilder outside of the ring, looking in. Perhaps in more ways than one.

Boo hoo can you hear poor Wilder crying in Alabama "big bad brits kicked me out of the ring", "I'm the real champion, they can't treat me like that!", "why nobody respect me? I'm black I need respect", "I'll show them! I'll stay home all weekend, that will teach them!" what a pathetic crybaby Wilder is
