Joshua is a cash cow, promoter milking him – Wilder

Joshua, 28, will meet New Zealander Parker in Cardiff, with the victor then likely to face the undefeated Wilder.

That’s because Wilder is counting on having his chance to fight Joshua and the time might be right if a unification showdown for an undisputed crown is the prize awaiting the victor.

Should that be the case and should Wilder prevail in his title defence against heavy-hitting Cuban Luis Ortiz in NY this weekend, a fight between Joshua and Wilder to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion looms.

Ortiz is determined to also knockout Wilder not only for the insults and what he says are false accusations, but to also make history, and then challenge the victor of the Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker, W.B.A., W.B.O., I.B.F. & I.B.O. “Everyone knows who is the man in the heavyweight division, hands down”, Wilder told Sky Sports.

Giving unbeaten Luis Ortiz a second chance after the Cuban slugger failed a drug test last October wasn’t something WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder felt he needed to do. Heavyweight Championship fight, on March 31. “No problems from our side”.

“I had a meeting with (Showtime chief) Stephen Espinoza last week, talking about AJ, and the landscape, and there is real appetite for Wilder to fight the victor of that fight (Whyte-Browne), if they don’t make the AJ fight next”, Hearn said. But Whyte’s promoter Eddie Hearn is confident that, provided both men win their upcoming fights, they could finally meet in the ring this summer.

“Yes, absolutely”, Hearn said when asked about Joshua making his U.S. debut in a fight against Wilder.

Yes, absolutely. Anthony is happy to go into that fight next.

Anthony Joshua will make Deontay Wilder “real money” and the American has a “chip on his shoulder”, according to Eddie Hearn. This is ridiculous, we’re going to have three belts, he’s got one.

Incredibly half of those stoppages happened in the first round, including a rematch with Stiverne the last time he fought in November, and the 6ft 7ins giant has more than lived up to his nickname as the Bronze Bomber, gained in recognition of his medal at the 2008 Olympics.

Wilder insists Joshua spends too much time “looking the part”, obsessing with his pursuit of the body attractive in an effort to obfuscate the weaknesses in which Wilder sees as a robotic style.

The 32-year-old, Wilder will be stepping into the ring with an unblemished record of 39-0 with 38 of those wins being by stoppage.

“I really feel he doesn’t have any confidence in Joshua”.

They should be supporters of his heavyweight opponent Anthony Joshua, but members of the England sevens team have visited Joseph Parker’s gym in Las Vegas to offer their support. “I’m self-made, and I’m ready to show the world who I am”. Thats what I do and thats what Im best at.

“I say what I’m going to do and I deliver”. Here is a big test.

The sad part is that some so-called boxing fans agree with these notions from fighter’s that violated the one rule that should never be breached in the sport.

Since then, Ortiz went 12 rounds with Malik Scott, a below-average puncher Wilder knocked out in the first round. That’s nothing to me. Why you fighting him again?’ I didn’t have to fight this fight.
