    "One thing is for absolute certain, AJ wants Wilder next," Hearn said. "He’s made that clear. He also feels though, after talking to Rob McCracken, his trainer and manager, that this is a fight that should be delivered in the UK. One for the fans and two, he feels like he’s earned that right."

    Joshua has been offered a baseline of $50m (£37m) to face Wilder in America by the WBC champion's team, but Hearn insisted: "AJ’s not really swayed by an extra £10m or £15m. He’d rather do the fight over here in front of his fans.


    There's your confirmation, even though it was already confirmed if you read and follow boxing on more than this site.
    You don't need to keep confirming that an offer of $50million was made ... it was made over social media, ffs!

    And it turned out that the money was being put up by BT Sports. Which is why Finkel refused to meet with Eddie Hearn and tell him who was funding the offer.

      So first Hearn never confirmed a legit offer, and now I need to stop confirming it. You're funny.

      Hearn has never used BT Sports as an excuse for not accepting the offer, but you're free to provide proof of what you're saying in case I missed something.

        You started out by claiming that Hearn had confirmed the $50million offer was legit. He never did that.

        It was Frank Warren who revealed that he'd seen the details of the $50million offer and that BT were involved in funding it, because they wanted control of the screening rights. AJ said that money might have been there, but if he'd accepted it he would have had to pay £20million to Sky for breaking his contract with them.

          I just posted a link from Telegraph showing that Hearn confirmed the offer, and declined it because Joshua felt that the fans deserved it, and that he had earned it. Even pasted it in bold for you. If you have any proof of what you're saying, it'd be nice if you could provide it. Hearn hasn't mentioned BT Sports being an issue, and disputes like that wouldn't stop a fight of that magnitude from being made. People said that Mayweather-Pacquiao was impossible for the same reasons, all the way until it happened.

            We know there was an offer, because it was made over social media for everybody to see. There was no need for Hearn to "confirm" it.

            All you are doing is posting links to articles which mention that offer, along with quotes from Hearn which are not specifically about it.

            The Boxing Social interview with Frank Warren talking about BT funding the offer has been linked to many times at this site already, including twice by me, and it was ignored by Wilder fanboys because it didn't fit their agenda. I'm not going to waste any more of my time finding it and posting it again.

                So you don't have it, and you're lying. It is what it is.

                  I only post links for people who genuinely want to know the facts about whatever topic is being discussed. That rules you out.

                  You claimed to have evidence of Hearn confirming that the $50million was there for AJ if he accepted the offer, and yet again, you failed to deliver it.

                    Wilder knows that he can't beat a fully fight fit Fury.

                      Not surprising that bum Wilder and his idiot fans are looking to duck Fury. They know BumSquad will get badly schooled.....again.

                      This time BumSquad won't be facing a 50% Fury.
