Deontay Wilder makes offer to Audley to fight on Khan-Diaz card

Audley Receives Deontay Wilder Offer For Khan-Diaz - Boxing News

Wow, I know Deontay wanted to step up but this is a death wish. Audley KO 2.

If Audley rejects this, Martin Rogan has said he would accept the fight.

Uhm....don't quite know what to make of this.

If Audley gets hypnotised into believing it's Prizerfighter he'll beat Wilder easily.

if this is genuine what choice has Audley got - actually its only 5 weeks though, he won't fancy it

cummon audley

Pathetic. I hope Audley accepts and then somehow upsets the plastic apple cart.

It's like a terribly bad joke, all you can do is cringe and wish you hadn't heard it.
Deontay Wilder is incapable of anything but baby steps.
It's like Wilder and his team are afraid, no terrified that he will actually get in a fight.

It's times like this I respect Ray Mercer all over again. Within a year and a half of turning pro and only his 16th start he was going to war with a tip top Bert Cooper over 12 grueling rounds.

Wilder is determined to pick over the battlfield for lose change and gold fillings before even thinking about climbing the mountain.

I'll never forget the Cooper/Dewitt fight. I had high hopes for Willie. Wilder has got to be chinless or something. Maybe he's getting dropped by cruisers at the gym while wearing head gear. Audley is a safe bet as all they have to do is overwhelm him like Haye did and land a crippling shot. I started off being a fan of the guy but now he's beginning to enter my top 5 want to see ktfo list. Now perhaps I should not blame him personally but blame his steering committee however to be coddled this much in this heavyweight wasteland suggests something. Audley has to take this and I hope he lands one of those beautiful textbook straight lefts he was so capable of earlier in his career.

To be fair to Wilder, he's being added to Golden Boy's British bill as an undercard attraction for Khan, so it makes sense he fights a Brit name as that will create much more interest.

It's not like he's headlining the promotion

This is why I made a thread about how Audley is dangerous right now.

Because if Wilder loses to Price, Fury, Haye, Thompson or Chisora even, then it's a recoverable loss.

If he loses to Harrison his career is pretty much over.

Audley take it, put on the long awaited performance and maybe end your career with some dignity intact.

Wilder can punch, which means the shitting-himself Audley will get in the ring for this fight and it'll be all over superquick. Can't see Audley taking this one for the likely money on offer, he'll make more elsewhere.

Good point.

Fraudley will get KTFO if fights Wilder and Rogan does as well, Fraud will fall quicker though, Rogan maybe a round or two later.

Harrison said today on twitter that he has agreed to take the fight, although he said there are still a few details to be worked out before it's official.

After his impressive performance in Prizefighter, Audley is the next logical step up for Deontay Wilder.

It's good that Deontay's promoter is keeping him active. It saddens me that promising heavyweights like Mike Perez and Bogdan Dinu are being ruined by inactivity.

I agree about Perez but Dinu fought like 4 times last year mate.

EDITED: 3 times.

Dinu turned pro seven months before Wilder but has only 9 fights compared to Wilder's 27.

Bogdan did fight three times last year, but he fought just once in 2009, once in 2010, just once in 2011, and he has nothing scheduled yet for this year.

Wilder is a little bit too difficult for Audley at the moment. Should Audley lose he may have to retire. Audley wants to build his confidence and credibility up a bit by taking some easer fights first and then go up the ladder slowly before he is beaten again. He is on a high after the Prizefighter.

Yh, but inactive to me means, currently inactive. Inactive isn't what I would call 3 fights in the previous year at march the next year, so for the time being he's active, provided he fights a few times this year.

Although someone with 9 fights should be fighting a fuck lot more, Chris Eubank Jr has 9 in just over a year.

Harrison sparred Wilder for 4 weeks leading up to the Price fight and apparently dominated him and dropped him.

I ad that also. They apparently took it light after he got dropped and limited everything.

They said there is a video of it which will likely end up on YouTube.

If it exists that is.

I knew the Wilder-Thompson bullshit was too good to be true.

Oh man, I remember getting a copy of that one in a trade. Poor Dewitt was literally steamrolled by Bert! Wilder is sqandering away and enoughs enough. They are clearly afraid to take the training wheels off of the bicycle for him for whatever reason. Going on 5 yrs and 28 fights while the division is urgent for a viable young threat to crash the scene. Hes not learning anything with one-two round gimmes and literally not taking a serious heavyweight punch this far along. Thinking hard here and I am at a loss to think of one recent American heavyweight who amounted to a major player and went this long while having so very little to show for it in opposition faced, scheduled 10 rounders etc ???

Harrison would fold like a lawn chair inside of one. Wilder should go after the UK's newest fraud, David Price and finish him.

:rolleyes: As oppose to fighting another American or Mexican Heavyweight, because they've lit up the Heavyweight scene over the last 10 years also.

Perez would be a good fight for audley IMO

I would take both the American top heavyweight prospect (Wilder) and the Mexican top heavyweight prospect (Andy Ruiz) over David Price

Especially since Wilder is being brought along following the JCC family "School of Bloating Records with Bums".

I'm sure Wilder is too much for Harrison, but we don't know for sure until they fight.
We know what Audley has to offer, Deontay is a mystery. That's why I don't care who he fights as long as it's someone we've quantified.
Deontay has a big punch and that's great, but that's all we know, plus he's great fighter on Twitter.
What is Deontay Wilder hiding behind that big punch: no confidence, no courage, no chin or is his team holding him back and why?
I'm so tired of waiting for Wilder to make a move. Come on, numb-nuts, do something!
I don't think losing to Wilder will hurt Audley's career, even if by KO, he is standing on the edge of the toilet now and a win would certainly help.

thing is, if someone else had won prizefighter as impressively as audley did you would be thinking wilder would be in for a tough night, you would almost be thinking 50/50 fight

Even though Wilder hasn't stepped up in 27 fights and his 28th fight is rumoured to be a guy Price stopped in 1 round in his 14th fight?

I do like Ruiz though, I think he is being brought along nicely but they could step it up a little this year. Wilder couldnt be more protected right now.

If anything, Price tried to step up his level of competition and stumbled. Wlad did the same thing and look where he is now, regardless of the shitty state of the division in general. When Wilder fights someone remotely resembling a live opponent, then he can talk. But not too much.... he still has a resume full of bums.

What Price or Prices team did was stupid. Read back in my posts and I said this before Prices last fight.

They went from bringing british journeyman out of retirement to fighting someone who had not long ago challenged for the heavyweight title a second time.

It was a ridiculous jump in class. He never got to fight some tougher journeymen inbetween to face some adversity and learn how to deal with it.

In contrast, for as much shit as Fury gets he has been brought along perfectly. He has given a few fighters their first loss, faced unknown imports which can be dangerous and now ex title challengers. He has been progressed well and learnt a few things the hard way.

Harrison has taken the fight, or says he wants it. As always I hope he does well and he deffinitly has the tools to do the job on someone as untested as Wilder who I think is yet to go in to the 4th round?

You may say "well Audley will be lucky to last that long" but what im getting at is for a pro of nearly 30 fights he is yet to learn to pace himself and fights stiff and tense like a novice still.

Stupid or not, I'd rather have a heavyweight test the waters a bit prematurely, than have him bloating his record until Judgement Day, ala Wilder. How many more bums are we supposed to accept on his belt before he fights someone with a pulse? I thought only the Cesar Chavez family did that. Price is not permanently out of the HW picture. He will be back, hopefully with lesson learned. Besides, it's easy to build up Thompson now, that he KO'ed Price. But how many props was he being given before the fight? Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. Thompson was a twice-beaten Wlad reject, and he'll be nothing but a gatekeeper from here on out.

Smeone who was in the same camp as Audley and Wilder recently saw Audley drop Wilder twice apparently.
