Wilder was supposed to enter the ring after the Joshua fight via his Sky Sports broadcast gig for that fight.
Joshua and Hearn cried about seeing Wilder face to face in the ring.
Wilder after hearing their comments says "
well, then im not coming to the UK if we aint gonna hype the fight" and turns the job downHearn does a video crying saying Wilder should've come and sat in the crowd to hype the fight.
Them dudes don't want the fight, they playing all types of mind games and dumb stuff. They still aint answered Shelly Finkel's email from November with what the offer is......but you know this already @HeruDat.
It's obvious that it's Hearn & Joshua holding up the fight. There aren't any barriers stopping the fight from happening except Joshua getting some courage
Froch: I Just Don't Understand Why Joshua Disregards Wilder
Former world champion and Sky Sports expert analyst Carl Froch is salivating to see a heavyweight unification between IBF, IBO, WBA champion Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) and WBC champion Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs).
This coming Saturday night, Joshua will collide with WBO champion Joseph Parker at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Wilder was scheduled to be at ringside, but he changed his mind after both Joshua, and the promoter Eddie Hearn, refused his request to enter the ring in the aftermath to do a face to face with Joshua.
Froch believes the pressure is now in full swing to see Joshua collide in the ring with Wilder - next.
Joshua appears to be content with allowing the possibility of the Wilder fight play out a little longer.
"I don't really understand why 'Josh' just disregards him, he seems to be happy to keep him waiting. Wilder is the one. The one we want to see him in with and the fight he needs to win," Froch said to Sky Sports.
"There is always pressure on Joshua but thanks to Deontay Wilder, there is even more this time around. A lot of people are asking questions. Is he coming over? When is he going to fight 'Josh' and if not, why not? All of a sudden, there is someone out there who is smashing people to bits and looking fantastic doing it.
"Wilder is exciting. He has explosive power, he is awkward, he is dangerous and when he's got someone hurt he doesn't let them off the hook - unlike Wladimir Klitschko. Regardless of what he says and puts out there, Wilder is big and scary and trust me, when 'Josh' and Rob McCracken sit down and watch a Deontay Wilder fight, they will know - 100 percent - that it is a very dangerous fight."
Froch was very impressed with Wilder's most recent win.
Earlier this month, Wilder found himself in serious trouble during the seventh round of his seventh defense - but he battled back and scored a tenth round knockout over undefeated Cuban puncher Luis Ortiz at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
"There is a lot of heat on Josh. I said I wanted Wilder to make him and Rob sweat a bit against Ortiz and he did just that. But now with the world watching him, another sold-out stadium all there to see him, against another world champion? The heat is definitely on," Froch said.
"Josh has to beat Parker, but this one is also about how he wins it. He really could send a message out to Wilder. Parker is unbeaten, a world champion - something Wilder hasn't faced - and if he does the job and looks really classy doing it, either in points or by smashing him to bits, that not only sends a message, it also takes the pressure off him."

This man AJ is a superstar over there breh, you get over there and fukk with the UK people hit the local gyms, have a meet n greet signing, you show up to the press conference, the open workout, the weigh in the fight etc, the cameras are always rolling breh. LETS GO CHAMP, Same shyt Briggs did to Haye n Klit. It’s great press, the media covers it, the pressure just gets bigger on AJ and team since you there and everybody see it.
Yeah Wilder should get in the ring but at the same time AJ can have his moment if he wants...the entire boxing world has its eyes on AJ and you been screaming for AJ, now you don’t want to show up and Sky is paying you. Not saying he’s scared but he’d be a damn fool not to capitalize on this press/opportunity to expand his profile, brand, build the fight regardless if you actually get a face off post fight.

Breh....Wilder isn't an unknown over in the UK as evidenced by Froch's comments above "There is always pressure on Joshua but thanks to Deontay Wilder, there is even more this time around. A lot of people are asking questions. Is he coming over? When is he going to fight 'Josh' and if not, why not? All of a sudden, there is someone out there who is smashing people to bits and looking fantastic doing it."
He's not talking about the USA when he says people are asking those question...he's talking about the UK. And he would know, being he's one of the biggest fighters from Europe in the last 10 years and works for Sky Sports.
And regardless, the fight isn't being held in the UK, so why would he have to do a "meet & greet" with the press as if he's some random fighter attempting to fight Joshua? LETS GO CHAMP? Like Briggs did to Haye & Klitschko????
Wilder is not on Briggs level of unknown breh....and you know that too. Also, why Wilder have to do all that to try and unify a Championship? Act desperate like Briggs is what you suggest? You gotta be kidding me breh
Froch speaks for what Sky Sports is thinking...especially since Sky Sports is the one who asked Wilder to come over, call the fight, and enter the ring afterwards. You wouldn't need to do all that desperate Briggs stuff if Joshua had heart enough to confront Wilder face to face in the ring like Wilder did with Fury.
@Newzz you missing my point I ain’t comparing him and Briggs circumstances I’m saying Wilder is a fool for not showing up, it’s free press. *IF He wants to build his profile/brand/name. Does he have to...no.
There’s nothing bad that could come out of him showing up, pull up anyway cause that’s exactly what they don’t want you to do...steal the show in AJs moment. And as I’ve said, if Wilder and AJ got a mic in front of them Wilders personality and gift of gab would overshadow AJ.

im 100% against Wilder having to pull antics in order to get Joshua in the ring outside of confronting him face to face and addressing him in interviews
If that's what it takes, going "over there and f** with the UK people hit the local gyms, have a meet n greet signing, you show up to the press conference, the open workout, the weigh in the fight etc", for one undefeated Champion to want to get in the ring with another undefeated Champion, both in their primes, both the consensus #1 & #2 HWs in the world.............then I don't even want the fight anymore.
Boxing is truly dead if the only way a mega fight can happen nowadays is by you having to stalk/embarrass someone into fighting you

He’s kind of a jerk and he knows it and enjoys it but honestly is there any promoter who is not fukked up on some ways?
Hearn gets some criticism from hardcore UK boxing fans for what they call “Matchroom casuals” aka people who only know fighters who are with Hearn, fighting on Skysports and “Skysports shills” aka experts in Sky studio like Nelson who supposedly bow down to Matchroom but these are pretty much just the usual criticism toward market leaders and overall Hearn contributed hugely in the UK boxing golden age we are experiencing now (and it hasn’t peaked yet imo).

I honestly hope Parker slumps AJ , I know it’s a longshot but acting like he some king after beating an old ass Wlad. I think the close Wlad call scared Hearn and AJ and showed them that they little empire is 1 right hand from falling apart. Karma need to do its justice. I agree with Newzz, Wilder shouldn’t have to beg for the fight and if I’m Wilder i would just call him scary and let that be.
Wilder not Joshua has the best HW win. Showtime, Haymon , and Wilder team just need to put the Wilder hype in overdrive. Have him fight 3-4 times a year and go the Tyson route.
I know the fight game all about money but I lost major respect for GGG for bowing down to Canelo at every turn. The MW division dnt need Canelo. Canelo good but it can live on without him and now he holding it up and shyt. I dnt knock GGG for taking the most money he can get in his career but it’s just look funny in the light as a man. It will be sad if Wilder go out like that.

My take:
On the one hand Hearn and AJ should have advocated Wilder getting into the ring after the fight. They really didn’t help the situation with being such divas about this.
On the other hand if Wilder really had a deal w Sky including commentating the AJ fight, paid travel and paid hotel suit, then turning that down a few days before the fight just cause he senses that they might try to get Dillian Whyte there too is unprofessional. What did he expect when he agreed on all that? He was so sure that Whyte would lose to Browne or what?
And it’s not like Hearn will reconsider his possibilities just because Wilder is not going.
He calls the shots now, it is what it is. If he wanted Wilder vs Whyte before he knew Wilder is not gonna be there he probably still wants that, Idk what changed with this. Wilder should get the Joshua fight next imo, he really earned it but I am just talking about the reality of the situation, not what I would like.
Let’s hope AJ vs Wilder is next though but at this point I doubt it and I think they stuff one more fight before it which gonna be Wilder vs Whyte and AJ vs Povetkin/Miller
