HEARN: SHOW ME THE MONEY FOR AJ-WILDER
DEONTAY WILDER’S team insist they do have the £36million they are offering Anthony Joshua.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn suspects the men behind Wilder (above, right) are staging a PR stunt – and challenged them to demonstrate they have the cash.
Shelly Finkel, one of Wilder’s managers, has contacted Hearn to say they can prove they have security of funds. He wants Hearn and Joshua (above, left) to agree to their terms or he will cancel today’s planned meeting between the two camps in New York.
Finkel argues there is little point in meeting unless Joshua is prepared to accept their offer.
Hearn is interested in the proposal – if it is serious – and it would be twice Joshua’s best purse for beating Joseph Parker on points in Cardiff last month.
