Deontay Wilder back Sep-Oct

[JRB123]

Ortiz is the mandatory to the SUPER championship.

Oquendo is the mandatory to the WORLD championship.

Ustinov was the mandatory to the INTERIM championship, but the WBA is trying to avoid crowning another interim champion.

Hopefully Oquendo & Ustinov are ordered to meet for the world title.

Doubt it. The WBA hasn't moved forward with straightening things out with the belts since the tournament was made

Breazeale is #8 IWBR. Whyte is #14. How is Whyte "stepping up"?

Let's not try and claim that Breazeale is anything more than just a heavy bag shall we?

Hearn managed to fool the UK casual market into thinking he was a contender when Breazeale still had an '0' but everyone clearly saw that Joshua used him as a heavy bag for 7 rounds with Breazeale offering nothing at all.

Since then all Breazeale has done is beat a hyped up prospect (granted it was a very good fight!). So why on earth would anyone be happy with Wilder v Breazeale?

Their plans keep getting ****ed up by drug test failures.

You can't ask for the sport to be cleaned up and then complain when the governing bodies try to clean it up.

And when a fighter fails, they still have legal rights. It takes time to straighten out.

He's the #8 contender in the world. If that makes him a heavy bag, what does that say about #14 Whyte?

Joshua is the #1 boxer in the world. That doesn't mean Breazeale sucks, it just means Joshua is the best.

Be happy with whatever you want. Who told you the fight had to make you happy?

Breazeale has a better resume than Wilder ,who hasnt fought Joshua nor have a win like Izu . It will also be the first real puncher Wilder will face and we know Washington is Breazeales sparring partner ,ppl are over looking this fight if it actually happens . Breazeale struggles with aggressive in your face fighters and Wilder is not that .

[BigZ44]

I could actually see Breazeale landing bombs before Wilder can and pulling off the upset. Would probably be Wilder's best win if he were to beat him

[saintpat]

Can't see the logic behind this. If you're going to fight someone other than Stiverne, why choose Breazeale when a Whyte fight (which isn't any riskier than a Breeazeale fight) would be bring in a paycheck worth three to four times as much, and significantly more exposure to the UK market?

I hear people claiming that Wilder thinks a fight against Whyte should be worth even more, yet this flies in the face of Wilder coming out and calling Whyte a damn bum. If Whyte is a bum, what does that make everyone else Wilder has fought? Bum crumbs?

Haymon and Wilder desperately need to get their heads checked, because they're seriously selling Wilder's career well short of what it could have been.

There are contradictions and stupidity all over the show - and all roads lead to another Wilder disappointment. Surprised? No.

The "terms and conditions" offered with a big purse to fight Whyte was that the UK promoter would have rights on Wilder's next several fights. That's what Wilder was referring to.

The reason they want to 'overpay' for a Wilder-Whyte fight is so they can then pay less for a showdown with Joshua next year since the promoter would have both Joshua and Wilder.

Miller has to get by Washington first, Parker is terrified, Ortiz in no man's land getting old waiting for AJ

So Ortiz is looking to cash out?!

By the time he fights Joshua it would be in the fall of next year and he'll 59 years old SMFH!

No one wants Wilder cuz he's always sidelined by injuries, his opponents constantly juice themselves to have a chance of winning, he brings no money or notoriety on your CV and he's a high risk fight!

ONLY guy I see willing to take it would be Joshua and that fight likely won't happen till 2019!

Wilder needs to dump Haymon, he's not promoting him correctly and is USA' s only heavyweight champ yet no one knows who he is!!

The guy knocks people out and stops them and has a fan friendly style and and at least tries to have charisma!

He has a good background story and he brings controversy when he's pissed off!

How can you not sell that to the casuals!

His team should've been took the Klitschko fight when they had the chance!

the man boobs man? gtfoh turn down whyte for this rubbish? 7 mill doe!

[Squ□redCircle34]

Wow, look at this comment section and now look at Wilder about to take on the man not even AJ' s team wanted him to fight in King Kong!
