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

[Armchairhero]

Stop slurping. what 10 rounds did AJ win? tell me.

how do win rounds by MISSING?

Parker took away his right hand all night..he landed all the body shots and was the superior defender. AJ was frozen with Parker's feints meaning Parker was controlling the pace.

Defense and Ring generalship in Parker's favor.

that ref was paid off to protect AJ and did a great job of it.

but pls tell me what 10 rounds did AJ win?

that fight was blatantly fixed.

Only on here do the tin hat brigade spout such rubbish, the ref spoilt the fight for both fighters.
I struggle to see what Parker did more or less the entire fight other than try and survive?

Yesterday he was sure that Wider had a secret deal with Breazeale in an effort to swerve Joshua. Today he's confident that the fight will happen in 2018! We aren't asking for 2018! We at the park, Saturday morning, headbands, wristbands, knee sleeves, and we're asking, "YO, who got next?" R.I.P. Anthony Mason!

If wilder accepts how junior he is, accepts a smaller share of the money, the fight to be in london, and stops racially abusing eddie hearn

I get a feeling Hearn actually enjoys the abuse. One more reason for him to stress how different he is to the 'old school' promoters. For Hearn, it's not personal, it's business.

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

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, you are a freaking comedian!!!!

[BoxingTech718]

Of course Hearn should be confident because he’s the main obstacle to the fight getting signed

[Travycat]

It's borderline insane how much of his own work Wilder has to do. Hearn had to contact Wilder's team. Wilder needs new handlers. Seems like Haymon has been phoning it in and on cruise control since Mayweather retired. The other thing you notice is Hearn didn't say, "NEXT". He said, "...in 2018". They'll fight Miller next and Wilder in Nov or Dec. Will Wilder do a stay busy fight in the meantime, as well? Will he risk it against someone good?

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

Yep, hopefully it's Whyte for wilder and Povetkin for Joshua as they are both mandatories for their titles.

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.

That sounds like great news.

It makes perfect sense for Wilder to face Whyte in London.Or Wilder fights on Joshua's American Debut Undercard

Why would Wilder fight on an AJ undercard and he's the bigger star stateside? That's just plain weird lol
