Comments Thread For: Wilder Believes Fury Would Step Aside To Allow Unification

[Angeljuice]

I am pretty sure Fury would accept some step aside money to make it happen. I just want to see Wilder fight the winner of Joshua vs Ruiz for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.

Besides, Fury he is in no rush to climb back into that ring to challenge the Bronze Bomber anyhow. He even hinted as such; That if Wilder chose to fight the winner of Joshua/Ruiz next then he will be fighting again sometime in the month of December after Otto Wallin.

The "Bronze Bummer", he's fought 40+ fights and I've heard of about 3 of his opponents.

He's had 35 bum fights and was the first "Unknown Heavyweight Champion". As soon as he is tested by a decent boxer (Fury), he shows a severe lack of skills and gets out pointed by a crash-dieting gypsy who had to drop 140 lbs to make the fight.

AJ would out box him and has real power to back it up. Ruiz hits fast and hard and could well beat Wilder too, Fury will outpoint him every time, but will never win (in America at least).
Wilder needs to be tested, and not by "durable" walking punchbags like Breazeale.

Don't get me wrong, Wilder is an exciting heavyweight, I just want to see him fight other exciting heavyweights in exciting heavyweight matches.

I said Wilder would take this fight now that Joshua lost. Glad to be proven right.

Seems like Wilder thinks Ruiz will get the job done again

Trust me, you are not the only one.

So now I'm going to do what I've already done multiple times before .. copy and paste what Hearn actually said in that interview and ask you to highlight the part where he says what you and the hack who wrote the article quoted him as saying.

"It's the general opinion of myself, AJ and Rob McCracken [Joshua's trainer] that because of the status of AJ in the fight and what we've built over here in the U.K. that we should try and get it over here because he has earned the right for that fight over here," Hearn told Nick Parkinson.

"If Wilder wins, the rematch can be over there in America. We are going back and forth with talks at the moment and I'm confident we can make that fight. AJ appreciates he might not make as much money by fighting in the U.K. but realises that Wilder should be coming to the U.K. to fight first."


"AJ asked me how many British fans could get tickets if the fight was in America and could get over and I said about 6,000 and that's after we have done 250,000 in three fights and it doesn't seem right," Hearn said.

"He's keen to do the fight in the U.K. and from Rob's point of view it's an advantage. If it's in September it gives us the ability to go outside and we would have to consider Cardiff [the Principality Stadium], Wembley, the Olympic Stadium, Twickenham and Old Trafford. AJ wants it in London preferably."

So where does Eddie confirm the $50million offer?

Where does he even mention it?

He doesn't.

Those words were put into his mouth by a Bscene writer to trigger gullible Wilder fanboys like you.

Pretty clear, but I guess it's just fake news. Hearn speculated that the fight would make less in the UK for nothing. Said that it was the opinion of his team that the fight should still be in the UK despite the offer, for nothing. Counter offered with $15M, for nothing lol

Yes, just more fake news and no evidence of Hearn ever confirming that he had a genuine, legit $50million offer from Finkel/Wilder.

"Step aside"? Is that even necessary? Fury has no belts & I don't think he's a mandatory. I also don't think the world is screaming for this rematch - feels more like "whatever".

Seems to me they already have a contract in place, Otherwise he wouldn’t need to step aside.

Wilder knows he's unlikely to get another gift decision against Fury

Well he is going to do just that against the winner of Joshua vs Ruiz. Then subsequently, with Tyson Fury, who he damn near decapitated the very last time the two had fought; Which is why Tyson is taking a very prolong delay in challenging Deontay Wilder again.

You can have this too:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/boxing/2...der-us-insist/

"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.

I'm confident that AJ beats Ruiz in the rematch, but as a Joshua fan I think Fury is the last person he should fight.
I'm more confident that AJ would beat Wilder than Fury. Clash of styles would be frustrating for Joshua.

A lot of people have written AJ off because he has lost his belts, but that happens at heavyweight and AJ can use that defeat in his favour, Wilder may not be as afraid to face him as he was.

Ruiz has had some hard fights with tough pros but has only ever been downed once.
AJ is still as dangerous as he ever was, but now he is under the radar and may well be underestimated.

My money is on AJ to unify the belts, If his confidence crashes after that defeat and he's out of the picture (real possibility), Ruiz gets my vote.

Lol.. you just hate Wilder! it's so obvious. Why would Wilder offer someone 50 million if he is afraid? AJ is a chinny bum.. And I can't wait for you to become a Wilder fan.
