Comments Thread For: Joshua: First Wilder Fight Has To Be in The UK, I Call That Shot

[Sid-Knee]

"At that stage". It doesn't get more condescending then that. I want dispute that Joshua is the a side, but realistically Wilder has been champion longer, has way more fights and defences, and will be the person that sells this fight. I don't know what stage Joshua thinks he is at, but being that egotistical usually doesn't bode too well for fighters.

Who gives a **** if Wilder has been champion longer, that doesn't settle who gets most of the money. Plus, AJ has fought better fighters than Wilder has. So his defences are not worth talking about.

Again, who cares if Wilder has had more fights? What does that even prove? You just sound really silly at this point. Waffling crap.

AJ doesn't need to shout his mouth off like an idiot to sell tickets. Wilder does, and yet he still never sells out. Hahaha.

AJ is the one who comes off egotistical? What?????? Not that nutter Wilder??

Man, you people creep me out. Just bitter weirdo's spewing rubbish while being hideously insecure.

Sort it will you.

Lol he’ll no going to be neutral ref and judges.

Not going to get wilder with that home cooking

You do know that they had a neutral ref and judges in the Parker fight don't you?

Unlike in the US that have home refs and judges who screw every overseas fighter.

All he talks about is that the place, the money, the time, even the face to face, everything needs to be on his terms. This screams of someone who is bluffing and plans to take a different opponent. Even a notoriously difficult negotiator like Ward made sensible compromises to make fights work, because he WANTED those fights. AJ just doesn't want it and fand are protecting him with this "he has the right to..." Regardless what rights he has, his rigidity proves he's ducking.

***, even Mayweather, who was a MUCH bigger deal than AJ and had the right to call every shot, was more flexible than AJ.

AJ dictates the times and the face offs now? LOL. Oh, right. That's a new one.

All AJ has said is that he gets a bigger slice of the money considering he brings in 95% of the money to the table and where the first fight should be. How is that being difficult?

Ward and Mayweather are more reasonable? Stop smoking crack, yeah. At least try and hide your bias.

Wilder is more than willing to fight in the UK but it's going to be Povetkin. You can tell in Hearn and Joshua's tone, they are looking for every way to make negotiations with Wilder tough. They don't want this fight anytime soon.

Talking about fighting in the UK, isn't that where the fight should be? Lol.

Have you not been hanging around on here or something? Lots of people have called for it to held in the US. That's why AJ is saying the fight should be held in the UK, because of so many Americans saying otherwise.

Listen, the people that matter are Wilder and his team not some forum commentators. Joshua's team, journalist and all have asked Wilder and his team on multiple occasions if he would fight in the UK, they all said yes.

No one in their right mind will call for it to be held in the US where both guys are not a draw.

Even today, there was an article posted on this same site that has a quote from one of Wilder's managers saying there is no issue with going to the UK.

I still don't understand why there is doubt and the question is being asked over and over. Maybe he should just relocate permanently to UK now to quench all doubts.

This is 10x worse than may/pac and it's mainly the casual/man-fans. I really dgaf who wins but I really do hope wilder KTFO aj in front of his whole country. These casuals talkin politics are the fking worst I've ever seen in this sport ever, by far.

You don't care who wins, but you hope Wilder KO's AJ?

And you call AJ fans the problem?

You people are nutters and you can't even see it.

I'm not asking Wilder to relocate to the UK. Just telling you why AJ is making a point of it.

Read on here and his social media to know why.

[Sid-Knee]

Why is it still being brought up?! Maybe AJ wants Wilder to REALLY think about it in depth to perhaps frustrate him, to maybe have him overthink it to the point where he'll be like,"come to think of it, why am giving in on that demand, who does he think I am tellin' me......," so that Wilder would be blamed for backing out of the contest.....

But it aint gonna work. Wilder said eons ago that he'd fight AJ in his own bkyd - no problem! The next redundant thing Team Hearn is gonna bring up is: "Wilder will get less than 50% of total earnings, it bloody well cannot be 50/50!"...To that Team Wilder will reply,"duuuh!"....."thats already been discussed, so long as I get more than Parker - understandably."

This rehashing proves that Team-Hearn was far less interested in the fight than theyre now forced not to be. And was only posturing for the AJ Groupie Muscle Huggers to scream foul on ANYTHING Team-Wilder agreed or disagreed on.

Hopefully Team-Hearn will agree to Olympic Style stringent RANDOM blood testing to make sure Joshuas HUGE muscles and blood are fueled by oxygen, a good diet and NOT PEDs of any sort! This is VERY important for a fight of this magnitude! Team Hearn should be MORE THAN HAPPY to oblige!

The EVENT with a former gold medalist PED-FREE (hopefully) champ who bravely earned FOUR championship belts to his name - who ironically happens to be scared stiff of leaving his place of comfort to fight a stick! - should still turn out to be that invigorating PED-FREE event for both sides of the PED-FREE pond to watch!!

When did Wilder say "As long as I get more than Parker"?

As for the first paragraph, you're going to blame the fight falling apart because AJ has played some mind-game and had Wilder claim he wants to fight in the US? Hahahahaha

I have seen it all now. You can't get any crazier than you lot already have. Nuts!!!!

[Brother Mouzone]

Come on man, any fight worth a damn since like forever take place in Vegas.HW division has been in a sad state of despair .Joshua vs Wilder unification would be the biggest/most hyped fight the division has had in a while cannot happen across the ****ing pond.

[Jkp]

You patriotic Wilder fans are the worst.

This was Parkers team B4 the fight:

We've got an Italian referee. We signed off on those officials [at the beginning of March]. We're very happy with what the various sanctioning bodies have appointed for us.

- stop talking trash, if anything that ref breaking them off was benefitting Parker when it looked like AJ was about to tee off.

Lol - how does a person with a 15cm shorter reach benefit from being broken up...

Here is some video for ya...
