If theres any truth in this AJ seems pretty confident that negotiations are pretty close to being sorted.

Joshua: I'll Rain Down Hell on Wilder, F*** Him Up Real Bad

WBO, IBO, WBA, IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) has issued a warning to Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs), who holds the WBC heavyweight crown.
The two camps are currently in serious negotiations for a highly anticipated unification in the coming months.
Joshua is now the owner of four world titles - after picking up the WBO title with a twelve round unanimous decision win over Joseph Parker in March at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.


A few weeks ago, Wilder's handlers sent Joshua an guaranteed offer of $50 million to stage the fight in the United States.
The two sides are still going back and forth on the details.
“Luckily, we’ve got enough time to make the fight happen and we’re working on it. We’ve just sent another draft email over to them. It’s just the technical jargon that we’re going through right now," Joshua told The Sun.
Back in March, Wilder recovered from a dire seventh round to score a tenth round knockout of undefeated Cuban puncher Luis Ortiz at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Wilder has cautioned that he might close the book on Joshua in the early moments of their potential showdown.
Joshua, a 2012 Olympic gold medal winner, says there is no fear of Wilder's power - and the British superstar plans to be very aggressive in the early rounds.
“I ain’t got nothing to lose and I’m [going to] rain down hell on him – I’m going to f*** him up bad. You’ve seen it, I can go to hell and back. I enjoy it there as well, this time I’m going to own it," Joshua said.
“We’re big hitters, so for sure I’m going to be throwing a lot of combination punches and it’ll be interesting. I think he’ll be trying to pick punches. I’ll just be coming forward and swinging a lot of combinations, just trying to catch him and hurt him early on.”

Tough talk doesn't work if you keep moving the goalposts about how to make the fight.

Do what you say Joshua, stop changing demands And destroy him.

I have to say, I’m slowly coming round to @Ron Swanson’s line of thinking. AJ Opened his big mouth and put a price down. Team Wilder have (allegedly) come up with that and now Eddie is saying UK or nothing.
Like Ron, I believe if the fight happened, AJ Wins, but that’s almost irrelevant .
If the detail all shows the Wilder offer to be bigger, then really for Eddie to get it in the UK, he needs to beat what Wilder gets in the US.
I said before, if it doesn’t happen next, it’s unlikely to happen , or at least happen when it means so much. And that’s exactly what I think will happen.
On a side note , Eddie is saying if it’s not in the UK, it’s Povetkin next. I believe that is currently the most dangerous fight out there for him. I’m falling short of a prediction in favour of Povetkin, but I think he might expose a few flaws in AJ. That’s if he isn’t over the hill.

Povetkin is over the hill.
