Eddie hearn preparing mega-money offer to secure joshua vs wilder

But the promoter is ready to turn to Brooklyn’s ‘Big Baby’ Jarrell Miller should Wilder decide against facing Joshua in a unification fight next. Hearn has already offered the WBC champion a

flat fee of £8.8million for the fight but the offer was rejected by Wilder and his team. They then returned with a counter offer of £35m for Joshua but were not willing to discuss the

details of the proposal. Hearn likened the proposed offer from Wilder’s team to an email scam. “With all due respect to Deontay Wilder, who I like a lot, he doesn’t have $50m,” he told

FightHub.TV. “All I have right now is an email from a guy from Alabama who is telling me he’s gonna give us $50m. “I get quite a lot of those emails. Sometimes from Saudi Arabia, sometimes

from China, sometimes from Nigeria. Normally they ask me to send $50,000 first and then they’ll send it back.” Hearn is ready to up the stakes with a fresh deal which he believes will be

enough to tempt Wilder into a Wembley showdown this September. Joshua beat Joseph Parker on points via unanimous decision in March to regain his WBA (SupeR), IBF and IBO heavyweight titles,

whilst gaining the WBO heavyweight title that was held by Parker. If the fight comes to fruition and Joshua beats Wilder, he will become the first undisputed heavyweight boxer since Lennox

Lewis in 2000. The 28-year-old Brit has revealed that if he is to secure a fight with the American he will use Wladimir Klitschko as inspiration and also seek advice from his former

opponent. "If (Klitschko) can give me a little bit of his knowledge, I think it will spur me on to do better than I project," Joshua told Sky Sports. “His brain is like a boxing

encyclopedia. "I need him on my side, definitely. I have so much respect for him."
