Deontay Wilder Blames Eddie Hearn And Joshua For Picking Lesser Competition – “Hearn Doesn’t Have Any Faith In Joshua”

Deontay Wilder is nowhere near done lashing out at Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua.

The WBC World heavyweight champion caught the attention of many before his fight against Luis Ortiz when he claimed that the Matchroom promoter was exploiting Joshua financially.

Hearn and Joshua did not bite back and Wilder is throwing more fuel into the fire.

In a recent interview with SiriusXm Boxing, Wilder claimed that Hearn lacks faith in Joshua and doesn’t put him against the best opposition out there. 

“Joshua and them – they do not want to fight me. Eddie Hearn doesn’t have any faith in Anthony,” said Wilder.

Joshua will face Joseph Parker in a heavyweight title unification bout this month in Cardiff. A total amount of four belts will be on the line as Joshua defends his WBA Super, IBF & IBO titles against the WBO titleholder from New Zealand.

Wilder doesn’t seem to give Parker much credit and hinted that he’s in the category of ‘lesser opponent that’s easily beatable.’

“Anthony does not want to face me. If we read between the lines of the language, they always take the lesser guy and lesser opponent that’s easily beatable,” told the American heavyweight champion.

The potential split between Joshua and Wilder has also caused discussion in the media. If Joshua gets past Parker and adds the WBO belt to his collection, the 60-40 split in favour of ‘AJ’ is looking likely for the fight against Wilder. The huge fight would take place in the US but Hearn has also expressed a great deal of interest in having a rematch on UK soil.

Wilder is eager to fight and unify against Joshua by any means necessary and is willing to do a deal.

“They’re always talking about money and stuff like that but I’ve already made it clear – let’s make the fight. Whatever you offer me, I’ll take it. As long as you take it in the rematch,” stated the WBC heavyweight titleholder.
