[Mammoth]

1. Dillian Whyte

2. Oleksandr Usyk

3. Wladimir Klitschko

Isn't the deal to fight Breazeale on DAZN then Joshua?

[Boxing Goat]

Out of those Dillian Whyte. Wlad is retired and Usyk would flat out embarrass him.

[Jax teller]

No, there has been an obvious change of plans. The deal is for Deontay to fight twice on DAZN this year and if he is successful two fight twice next yea rwith Anthony Joshua in 2020.

Matchroom Sport pushed the fight back very willfully, deliberately and intentionally. Once again they are proven big liars who cannot be trusted.

They had no plans of fighting Wilder in 2019. They were waiting until he turns a year older 35 to be exact in order to fight him in 2020.

Here's the article:


World Boxing News has learned DAZN have put a massive $50m deal on the table for Deontay Wilder in a two-fight offering.

Talks between both parties were set for this week, with DAZN hell-bent on securing the services of the WBC heavyweight champion.

The end-game will be a huge undisputed unification with Anthony Joshua over two fights in 2020.

On the back of Eddie Hearn confirming DAZN will act as middle men in a huge top division collision, WBN now understands Wilder is wanted this year for two bouts initially.

Wilder will effectively receive $25m per fight, and on the condition ‘The Bronze Bomber’ wins both outings, will then be pitched in with Joshua next year.

A further improved contract is to be fully discussed separately regarding the Joshua double.

DAZN want to avoid a delay in getting Wilder on the books. This is in order to assure fans the biggest battle in world boxing will eventually happen.

Speaking to Sky Sports on Tuesday evening, Hearn explained his role will be minimal. He and Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel just don’t see eye-to-eye.

“There’s an opportunity for someone to be if you like, a mediator to try and get it done,” said Hearn.

“Clearly the relationship between Team Wilder and Team Joshua isn’t the best. I think this is a route that is going to be very beneficial to making that undisputed fight.

“I think any input from me would be a negative one. In terms of trying to move things forward because of the relationship. So I’ll leave it in the hands of the broadcasters (DAZN) to try and effectively be a mediator.


CLOSER

“It’s not just about doing a deal with Wilder, it’s about doing a deal with Joshua, for the fight.

“They’ve got their work cut out. But the pieces are coming together. There’s a long way to go, a long way to go.

“We’ll see where it goes. But there is now a strategy in place and a route in place that could lead us to an undisputed fight,” he added.

Opponents for Wilder’s two-fight agreement will include Dominic Breazeale (dependent on an agreement with Al Haymon), Dillian Whyte, Wladimir Klitschko and Oleksandr Usyk.

How did you get that it was matchrooms fault from what you just posted?

Maybe Wilder was like "Is there a way you can pay me and I don't have to get KO'd by AJ, Mr Skipper?"

How do you know Wilder didn't ask for 2 matches before a Joshua fight?

Deontay Wilder’s potential deal with streaming service DAZN has brought about a plethora of possibilities.

The WBC heavyweight champion has been offered a mega-money contract. Wilder is being asked to sign ahead of an undisputed unification with Anthony Joshua in 2020.

As WBN explained, Wilder would have two fights initially – worth a hefty $50m – before moving on to two clashes with AJ in 2020.

Candidates to face Wilder, should he agree the DAZN double in 2019, have since opened up significantly.

The first name to stick out is Dillian Whyte. This follows his recent promotional complaints in regards to a failed title shot.

Whyte was linked to moving to ESPN before stating his demands to Eddie Hearn for a stay at Matchroom Boxing.

“Progression and is a must. Eddie Hearn and Sky Sports just need to pull there finger out,” said Whyte.

“(They need to) land me a world title shot on good terms. So we have another world champion in the UK,” he added.

This means Hearn would have to nailed down a shot at Wilder for Whyte in order to keep the heavyweight happy.

Secondly, undisputed cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk is moving up in weight. The Ukrainian is looking to grow into the weight before a title chance of his own.

Joshua would be the end-game. Although Wilder is currently the slightest in stature and would be a preferred target for Usyk.

Finally, Wladimir Klitschko is reported to be close to signing with DAZN. This would then mean Wilder v Klitschko could be on the shortlist.


MANDATORY

Wilder firstly has to put pen to paper. Also to address a World Boxing Council mandatory stipulation to face Dominic Breazeale.

Compatriot Breazeale was put forward as mandatory despite Whyte being ranked number one.

Recently explaining why, the WBC have called purse bids between Wilder and Breazeale.

On February 12, 2019, the WBC announced its Board of Governors unanimous ruling to order a fight for the WBC Interim Heavyweight World Title between Dillian Whyte and WBC Heavyweight Mandatory Challenger Dominic Breazeale. A fight to bring activity. And to attend the mandatory status of the division as a result of the WBC’s order for an immediate rematch.

On February 26, 2019, the WBC notified the Wilder and Fury camps that while Champion Wilder had confirmed to the WBC his wish to honor the WBC-ordered direct rematch with Fury, the latter had confirmed to his decision to fight a different opponent next.

Furthermore, Fury’s decision resulted in the WBC cancelling the Wilder vs. Fury direct rematch order.

In light of the sequence of events set forth above, the WBC Board of Governors have decided to enforce the ruling from The WBC Convention of October 2018. The WBC is hereby ordering the following:

WBC Champion Deontay Wilder shall fulfill his mandatory obligations by fighting Dominic Breazeale next.

This order constitutes the start of the free negotiations period. Champion Wilder’s mandatory defense of his title is set.

If no agreement is reached between the camps, the WBC shall conduct a purse offer ceremony on April 4, 2019 at the WBC Offices in Mexico City, Mexico.

The same way the TS scored Fury-Wilder 8-4 Fury and had a "draw"...his imagination

[DaNeutral.]

Ive chosen Whyte based on his ranking with the WBC. He is sat in the highest possible position so how could i click any other option. But if Wlad is coming back then i would love to see it. They say there is a big 3, AJ, Fury, Wilder, 2 of them have beaten Wlad one of them passed him by. I know hes retired, aged and all that but i dont care it would be a good spectacle and we are all only waiting for the AJ fight anyway.

Actually, it was Deontay Wilder who requested the two additional fights before challenging Anthony Joshua. Which was very smart on his part because he now gets a four fight deal worth close to $200mil over two years
