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

[Vendettos]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
