EXCLUSIVE: Eddie Hearn confirms Deontay Wilder's £40m offer to fight Anthony Joshua... but blames the American's camp for failing to send a contract for the fight not being made

Daily Mail  

Eddie Hearn has confirmed Deontay Wilder's claim he offered $50million fight Anthony Joshua, but insists the showdown failed to materialise after the American's camp failed to send a contract. Wilder told Mail Sport's The Hook podcast last week that Joshua had turned down the offer, while he also pointed the finger at the Briton's Matchroom promoters. Deontay Wilder, right, claimed Anthony Joshua's promoters had stopped a fight being made Eddie Hearn told Mail Sport that Wilder's camp had failed to send a contract to seal the fight Hearn, responding to the Wilder's comments to Mail Sport, confirmed Wilder's team had directly sent an offer to Joshua. But, it's all irrelevant if they don't win on December 23.’ Joshua could yet face Wilder should both boxers come through their fights on December 23 The expectation is that Joshua and Wilder will meet in the New Year in Riyadh on the condition they both win their respective fights on December 23.
