Wilder doesn't want a franchise title because it's not good for the sport

❌👑 Deontay Wilder taking a stand against the WBC ‘franchise’ title, explaining why he doesn’t like the idea and won’t accept if the WBC offer it to him: “I’m just listening to the fans and I’m listening to my heart as well too.”

Bro that belt wouldn’t do him any good anyways unless he cuts down to Cruiser weight or Light heavyweight. Face it he knows it so he’s trying to act all riteous

[Jax teller]

He already picks his own mandatories anyway and he only has to fight them on leap years.

[deathofaclown]

He shouldn’t even be the owner of the belt right now, never mind Franchise champ

Fury will relieve him of that belt soon anyway

Wilder's trainer, shortly after that interview: "Deontay, Al Haymon is on the phone .... "



But seriously - and this is a first for me - kudos and respect to Wilder for what he said there.

Goddamn y'all some hatin' ****s
Jax teller Is that really the best thing you can say to the only belt holder who said no, integrity matters? Ya ****in' fairy.
deathofaclown Rather cry than co-sign a stance against the WBC-F would ya? Fairy.


Proud of the champ. Disappointed in fans, can't ****ing ever just form a united front against any ****ing thing because **** that has nothing to do with the thing we can all agree is ****ed needs to be *****ed, whined, and cried about instead.

**** you ****** ****s, eatta D.

Great talk from the bronze bomber....I don't understand the idea behind that belt.

True enough. But it's still good to hear one of their own champions calling out the WBC for their bullshit.

Great post. People always have something to whine about, even if it's a good thing or something commendable

The 'Bronze-Bomber' is preserving the lineage of the WBC HW championship. Stripping Deontay Wilder of the WBC HW title stops Deontay from becoming undisputed and adding record title defenses ; which he has already equaled among ATG's.

The Gypsy-Bum Tyson Fury would jump all over the 'Franchise' position given that he never made a single defense of his titles, that responsibility and duty has been transferred to a real champion like Andy Ruiz.



This is a unprecedented move, ultimately its the boxers that control the sport, you cant crown nobody champion in a board-room, the honor is earned in the ring.

One champion, One face, One name.
