Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua is Fighting in The UK, The Ball in Wilder's Court

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Joshua's next fight will without question take place in the UK, according to the boxer's promoter Eddie Hearn. Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) unified the IBF, WBA, IBO and WBO heavyweight titles back in March with a twelve round unanimous decision over Joseph Parker at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Very disappointing, but not surprising.

So if Wilder goes with December, or February, will the UK be the only option then as well? As usual, Hearn talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Road blocks after another. Wilder should just move on. These clowns don't want that work 🥊

Hearn can’t find a way around those drug tests. If it’s in the US, Joshua gets popped.
But regardless, Wilder is coming & will spark him out whether AJ is juiced up or not. Look at the bridge of AJ’s nose & compare it to an old pic of Lex Luger. You will see it

If Joshua took the $50mil offer the fight would be in December, Espinoza been saying the whole time thats when he wants it.

If it is fear of Wilder knocking him into next week or fear of ped tests, no one knows for sure. The only thing for sure is AJ does not want to fight Wilder for the WBC title.

First AJ offers a flat fee of $12.5 million, no matter how much money the fight makes. Then Wilder said the fight would generate $100 million. So AJ said, guarantee me $50 million and I will accept the same day. So Wilder offered AJ a guarantee of $50 million and if the fight does over $100 million, it is a 50-50 split.

Then Hearn says he doesn't believe Haymon, Showtime, and Finkel would pay him. Then it wasn't serious. Then Hearn could not help but call people names, so there was no use in negotiating. Now, the money does not matter. Either accept the fight in England and both fighters get a fraction of what they would if they fought in the U.S. Wilder can either accept a pay cut of tens of millions of dollars and fight in England or no fight at all.

Even if Wilder agreed to fight for free, anywhere AJ wants, and at anytime AJ wants, Hearn would come up with some other excuse.

This is beyond just plain pathetic now. It is the clearest case of ducking the boxing world has ever seen. AJ let down an entire country. The holder of three heavyweight belts is from England and refusing to fight the only opponent who could beat him. Makes the whole country look bad. It really does. AJ had a chance to bring back boxing, to bring interest back to the heavyweights. He has instead chosen to refuse to fight the only challenge and also has changed his style to the same as the robotic Klitschko's. Not the fights fans want, and not even fun fights to watch.
