The brits did come out in full effect for that fight though. Talk about support

I was at the Calgary airport bar and there was a room full of gnarly muscled brits in Hatton shirts flying to Vegas. I was at the bar all day and walked in “There’s only ooooooone.......” hoping they’d join me on the “Hatton” but they didn’t. I was so disappointed in them, gave them grief about it. Musta been a long layover cause they had no spirit in them. Shocking.

Deontay desperatedly wants it happen in US, despite saying he would love to fight AJ in UK. Is he scared to fight Joshua in UK?

A. Floyd fought Hatton in Vegas
B. The reason Floyd was never undisputed at 140 was because after the Gatti fight( where he won the WBC), Hatton( who had the WBA & IBF) wanted too fight Floyd in England but Floyd didn�t wanna travel for fear he would be screwed by the officials over there.

To answer your questions no Wilder is not afraid to fight AJ in England.... 2 reasons.
1. He fought there before
2 and more importantly, he was willing to fight in RUSSIA..... I�d be more afraid of that one then England.
