Q - Is the Dillian Whyte fight likely to be next?
EH - That's the one that is closest to getting over the line. Let's not forget, now that Deontay and Fury drew, we can sell Dillian as the second best Heavyweight in the world.
Q - What happened with the Wilder negotiations?
EH - Well, to be honest, it's a fight we don't really want, so we low-balled him and haven't heard back.
Q - Tyson Fury?
EH - With Tyson, we know he will only take 50-50, so we offered 60-40 and haven't heard back. Thank God.
Q - What about Luis Ortiz?
EH - No way. We don't want that work. A slick Cuban southpaw with power. No thanks. We'd fight Parker again before going that route.
Q - Was the Jarrell Miller fight close to being made?
EH - Absolutely not. You think AJ wants 300 pounds of man meat all up in his face for 36 minutes? Sasha Grey couldn't even handle that. Never mind AJ.
Q - So, it's definitely Whyte, then?
EH - Yes. I told Anthony that when you have options. Always take the fight that you can win.
