Anthony Joshua to Wilder: "We set the date, it's set! We are ready to sign"

Never trust a champion that says he is willing to sign for a fight before he actually wins the one he has in front of him.

These guys are not going to get Finkel to agree to a deal that doesn't get Wilder the most amount of money. If he did he wouldn't be doing his job.

Anthony Joshua to Wilder: "We set the date, it's set! We are ready to sign"

The old deal is no longer holds water, especially with the American press already turning on him/DAZN and the IBF mandatory coming due before Joshua's spring date.

If Joshua wants to keep to his plan, "his race" if you will, he's going to have to now come forward with a deal that gets Deontay Wilder to the UK to hold his April date, or pay Pulev to abandon the notion of setting up in Bulgaria.

Or vacate the IBF belt to avoid Pulev, after he's avoided the Wilder fight, and hope beyond hope that the British public buys into the Whyte rematch as some highly anticipated fight (because the rest of the world won't).

So he's admitting to the problem that existed which held up the fight "Now we'll let you know when the proposed fight is supposed to happen"....Hearn/AJ just suck, amateurs on the "big stage", their lack of experience is showing

I wonder if he's as "ready to sign" as he was for the $50M...

Wilder won't sign. He'll just continue to flap his gums whilst pricing himself out of the fight. Nothing to see here.

[EnglishOxide]

Wilder accepts $15m for November date
Wilder declines $15m for April date. There's only 5 months difference. So what's the problem?

The fight doesn't grow THAT much in that time. And Hearn does have substance to his claim that Joshua raises his profile more than Wilder does in their next 2 fights and therefore Wilder isn't deserving of a pay rise.

Surely all boxing fans want to see the fight. Wilder could even get $20m + shot at all the belts over the next 9 months if he takes a tune up first.

This ain't no Mayweather/Pac or Mayweather/McGregor shyt that's gonna build. Wilder is appears to be a dislikeable guy who nobody takes seriously and Joshua rarely trash talks. The public on either side of the pond aren't going to get so hyped about this as people think.

I know nobody over here in the UK is talking about Wilder in the media outlets. They haven't seen him fight anyone.

I'm just glad we get to see AJ in big fights despite the fiasco.
