Wilder quoted as saying he's onboard for the rematch, likely December. A year after the last fight.
"All contracts have been signed already," he tweeted. "It's officially on."

But his lucrative new broadcast deal ultimately prompted ESPN to seek a fight which would introduce him to the network before exploring the rematch Wilder now claims has been signed.
This is more likely than Wilder v AJ which is a shame. Still think Eddie can make a deal first, they have the power to do it.
If this all happens you have to take your hat off to all involved. I totally believe that the handlers behind these guys are doing everything they can to make Joshua less relevant in the public eye, so that whoever comes through it can get the 50/50 split with Joshua. Or indeed so that winner and loser get 50/50 splits!
Spin doctoring to the max, and who can blame them. Good luck to them , especially Wilder, I have to say.
If he’s prepared to fight Ortiz, Fury , Brezeale, Ortiz and Fury in that order, despite the fact I don’t like or rate him, you can’t knock that.
Nobody is doing anything to Joshua but Joshua. He had all the momentum and all the cards 2 years ago. His entitled arse wanted others to go build themselves up and they did. If the plan backfired, tough, it was THEIR PLAN.Quote:
