Deontay Wilder gives two dates, locations for potential Anthony Joshua bout

Wilder is currently undefeated after 40 fights. He beat Ortiz last time out.
Deontay Wilder believes a fight against Anthony Joshua will happen in either September or November this year and insists the match-up will definitely take place.

Wilder (40-0, 39KOs) defended his WBC heavyweight belt against Luis Ortiz in March while Joshua beat Joseph Parker to add the New Zealander's WBO strap to his existing WBA and IBF titles.


If the two were to meet, the winner would become the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

"If we have it [the fight] in England, it'll be September but if it's here in America then it'll be November," Wilder told Fight Hub TV.

"We're still in negotiations so I don't have a time frame on it just yet but I want to let everybody to know the fight will happen.

"If they're still serious -- we've been serious this whole way through -- Joshua said he wanted the $50 million and he'd sign tomorrow.

"We did exactly what he said and he didn't sign so that shows you his character already or his team's character.

"I think Joshua wants to fight but I don't think his team want to risk what they've invested. Their investment is about to go and they know it."

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn called for the Wilder fight previously following the victory over Parker, stating: "Wilder fight has to happen this year."
 
This is still pretty hilarious.

You think Wilder talking out his ass, or is the fight really happening??
 
The time to strike is now. If this turns out like a fucking Lennox vs tyson 10 years too late type of fight I'm going to give them a real piece of my mind.

This generation of people would hate that. But Floyd vs Manny was fought 10 years after it should have so maybe they can drag it out. But if one of them loses in between it would hurt the gate. If they want to maximize the purse and fight fans interest it is best to fight soon. Very soon. People already don’t care about Canelo vs GGG as much as they did before that boring fight.
 
Joshua don't want that wreck.

Ortiz is more fundamentally sound that AJ and was the boogie man at HW. Wilder beat him (barely) and now I think he saw is gameplan crumble.

It aint a sure win in the eyes of AJ and his camp and they aint tryna risk the loss in dollars that would come with the L.

Or they tryna draw it out as long as possible so the build up leads to a giant cash out in case he loses and the money dries up in the aftermath.

Either way, Wilder bout to knock quarters out that dude.

This is that dumbass/present Dana White logic where people try to drag this shit out like fighters can't get caught slipping. Reminds me of the Silva/Jones Silva/St. Pierre ish and let them all fuck up, lose, or retire. Make them fight. The fight game is fucked up.
