Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua's promoter, calls Deontay "overrated" and questions his record

Super-Fight In Saudi Arabia?

Anthony Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, is currently in talks with Deontay Wilder for a potential super-fight in Saudi Arabia in January. However, Hearn has wasted no time in throwing shade at Wilder.

Questioning Wilder's Record

Hearn has publicly stated that he believes Deontay Wilder is overrated and has never beaten an elite heavyweight. According to Hearn, Wilder's best win was against Luis Ortiz, but even then, he was struggling in both fights.

Wilder's Defenses and Losses

Deontay Wilder, 37, successfully defended his WBC title ten times but suffered his only loss to Tyson Fury, 35, in their rematch and trilogy bout. Despite this, Hearn argues that Wilder has never faced and defeated a top-five heavyweight.

Looking at Joshua's Performance

Hearn believes that Anthony Joshua has what it takes to comfortably defeat Wilder, but he also acknowledges that there is a possibility of Joshua losing. He points out that Joshua took seven rounds to knock out Robert Helenius, the same opponent who replaced Dillian Whyte after a failed drug test.

Talks with Saudi Arabia and Wilder's Manager

Eddie Hearn is set to hold discussions with Saudi's Skills Challenge Entertainment and Deontay Wilder's manager, Shelly Finkel, to negotiate the potential blockbuster fight between Joshua and Wilder.
