Comments Thread For: Hearn: One Thing is Certain - Joshua Wants Wilder Next!

[Ake-Dawg]

I’m sure a lot of people in this thread will talk **** but the facts are aj has never shyed away from a challenge that’s why he’s in the position he’s in and wilder is in the position he is in.

Aj first picked up a pair of boxing gloves the year wilder turned pro, Deontay should be embarrassed that he’s playing catch up given the head start he’s had.

Is he not shying away from the challenge of beating Wilder in the US?

I know Joshua wants it next. The question is does Hearn want to give up the measure of control he'd have over the event in the UK and let his guy get paid??

[ChrisCook]

One thing is for sure, his guy will get paid - hence why AJ doesn't feel that it needs to be in the US. I think he'll box in the US pretty soon and will want to go there as the Unified champ; but for the Wilder fight, AJ/Hearn want to show dominance and call the shots, which is fair enough... They do bring more belts to the table so have more to loose...

No he feels having a home advantage will help him even if it means suffering a financial blow in the process. Name me an individual or a team that does not perform better at home? ( infact I’ve just made that a rhetorical question as I ve thought of one) it’s not to say it will guarantee him victory but whilst he can still call the shots he will be ****** to fight in enemy territory. Also he is a brother and I don’t want his heart broken he should not look at Ricky Hatton and think he will generate that travelling support. It will be just me a few of my cousins a few on here and his family and entourage making the journey. That’s probably 50 people tops.

Deontay is more than willing to travel.He will be the pantomime villain but the British public will warm to him. Anyone that disses Eddie they love

"One thing is for sure "hearn and aj definitely don't want this fight. Looking at povetkin. And stop saying they want to do it in UK for the fans. They don't give a damn about the fans when they're ripping them off aligning themselves with stub hub

We haven’t heard anything about a counter offer since the historic 50 million offer to AJ.
Doesn’t seem like he wants the fight to me.

If there was nothing going on don't you think Team Wilder would be running to the media like they always do?

[HeyPapi]

Is the 50million guaranteed or upfront? Because AJ wanted 50 million upfront to agree to the fight.

The money questions have been answered, the last hurdle is location

"Eddie Hearn says Al Haymon HAS answered his questions regarding the $50m offer for Anthony Joshua v Deontay Wilder and the next move in negotiations is for Joshua to decide if he wants the fight in Las Vegas (pursue Wilder's offer) or in the UK (counter-offer). [@IFLTV]"

Why should he have to beat Wilder in the US?
