Comments Thread For: Hearn: I'm Very Confident Joshua vs. Wilder Happens in 2018

[English Lion]

Thank you. AJ and Wilder can have a damn trilogy type rivalry and retire afterwards. no need to marinate years just for one encounter.

but after witnessing the corruption of the judges and ref in that Parker fight and Wilder STILL wants to go there. that shows his confidence level is through the roof. anybody else stays far away from AJ after that fixed fight.

You have no brain cells if you think the Joshua Parker fight was rigged. Anyways, your boy wilder is getting put to sleep in front of the whole world and the only thing Wilder's fans will be hearing is the deafening roar of the British crowd

How is it every Joshua fan has said all year the fight will happen this year, and Wilder fans look for any reason to say the fight wont be happening this year?

Your brain is malfunctioning with the slurp sounds you make when thinking about AJ.

You gotta be a damn fool to not see that ref was given one assignment.. Protect AJ.

I dare you to justify those score cards. Parker was easily up 4-2 after six. how did AJ win 10+ rounds?

all he did was miss all night. Parker netrualized his right hand and froze him with feints.

if Parker feinting made AJ freeze what you think Wilder's jab and awkwardness gonna do to him.

that ref and those judges were paid off.

That's means it's not next, they want to build it 👆 more. One more fight for both fighters then it will happen at the end of the year.

That is what I read into that statement as well. As well. The real question is who will the interim fights be against.

And are we really going to believe a con artist, come on man!!!

Hopefully it’s now starting to set in for some of the slow thinkers, why they want to fight in NY against Miller. A prime time slot with plenty of PR would gather AJ a heap of interest going into a unifier. It’s not about ducking it’s about money plain and simple.

It seems pretty obvious to anyone paying attention, Wilder wants the fight, Joshua wants the fight, but Eddie Hearn wants the fight...............in December. He wants to squeeze out one more fight before Joshua-Wilder. He's been setting that **** up since LAST YEAR. My only issue is.........why not just be upfront about it? Why not just say "I want AJ to have one fight in America and then him and Wilder at the end of the year." Instead, he is trying to make negotiations difficult and then going to try to put the blame on Wilder when they've literally been giving in to every demand. Truly odd.

There's no way Wilder wins by UD he has to get a KO. Those scorecards were just embarrassing. But either way it looks like we're finally getting the fight done.

Theres a better article on ESPN website, Hearn has asked Espinoza what the best dates for Joshua/Wilder, hes said September or December. Hearn has said if theres any interim fights agreed inbetween itll only be if the Joshua/Wilder fight is already signed.

Would be cool double header in September GGG vs Canelo Wilder vs Joshua I'd pay 100
