It has been very refreshing this week to hear Deontay Wilder admit that Hearn and Joshua are basically doing everything that they can to make the fight. Wilder has stated that Hearn is practically "begging" him to make the fight. Wow! I am pleasantly surprised at Wilder's honesty now.
Many people have known all along that it has been Hearn making every effort to make the fight happen, with Wilder showing no interest in even meeting, he instead kept referring to his social media 'offer' to Joshua, which he wanted Hearn to agree to without revealing any terms and conditions, location etc. In the past few weeks it has been good to see quite a lot of US based youtube boxing community coming to the conclusion that Wilder has shown very little enthusiasm in making something happen.
Now, with this admission by Wilder that indeed Hearn is really trying hard to make a deal, maybe more intelligent fans will put pressure on deontay to actually try then. To actually try and make a fight. Astonishingly, there are still a handful of die hard Wilder supporters who excuse DW for not fighting Joshua. In my opinion, Wilder will take what he feels is the safer route and rematch Fury, but imagine the respect he'd get if he actually met with Hearn instead of spouting nonsense on social media, and instead acting like a pro and giving the fans what they have wanted all along. We will likely see AJ versus Wilder Fury 2 winner, sometime late 2019.
