WBC World heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (40-0-0, 39 KO’s) has unloaded on Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, following the news that Anthony Joshua has been ordered to face WBA mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin; thus ending negotiations for a proposed undisputed heavyweight title showdown.
After Showtime analyst Brendan Schaub tweeted that Wilder had essentially been ducked by the WBA/IBF/WBO belt-holder, Wilder himself was slightly less coy in response.
With a an explosive, explicit-laden series of tweets, ‘The Bronze Bower’ lashed out after the breakdown in talks between the two camps.
Bro these MF NEVER EVER WANTED THIS FIGHT PERIOD‼️ it’s obvious they showed sign of it when they didn’t want me in the ring. Coward ass MF lead the boxing fans on for 3 months. They held this shit up for this very moment. The world have seen the truth they are Fucking Coward

All they had to do is say they were scared to fight period. But instead made themselves look like what they are not stand up guys and fucking scammers. If your scared say your scared. He can just be the champ of England fuck them??

Eddie Hearn, who has drawn ire from some sections of the boxing fraternity after being perceived to be delaying the bout, denied Wilder had signed for the fight. Further stating Team Wilder did not respond with any comments to their offer.
Schaub would respond by claiming Wilder agreed to each of the required stipulations, which drew rebuttal from Hearn – causing Wilder to turn his attention to the promoter.
Stop with the bullshit we did it all! you fuckers didn’t won’t this work you scared MFers . You talk shit but can’t back nothing up you coward and now the ppl see the truth. I’m so happy it’s over now I’ve done my part the world seen that so stay in England with that BS

Wilder finished his interaction with Hearn by stating that he “will have the last laugh”, labelling the British camp as “cowards”.
Over here we understand and can identify a coward ass bitch. I knew I smelt pussy lmao smdh. I’m so happy the Bullshit is done and p.s. fuck your offer bitch we will have the last laugh I promise you this‼️

Finally, Wilder opened fire on Anthony Joshua, with another verbal assault. Claiming – among other things – that Joshua was “not a true champion” and “weak minded”.
I knew I smelt pussy but damn @anthonyfjoshua I didn’t know the odor was that strong you coward ass bitch. Had the world waiting for 3 months playing games just for this moment. You’re not a true champion‼️ you’re just a weak minded coward that’s holding hard metal. #Facts

After a volatile ending to negotiations between the camps, it is unclear as to the relationship for any such deal in the future. One thing is for certain, however, the bout will not be happening next: much to the chagrin of boxing fans worldwide.
