Still, just like Eddie Hearn admitted in the most recent episode of “ Boxing with Chris Mannix,” the Saudis are slower than average when negotiating fights so there is a good chance that Wilder is just running out of patience in fear that he won’t fight at all this year. Team Ruiz knows that Wilder has his eye on a Joshua fight in the Middle East. [□ /g9rZVucafr- Michael Benson June 25, 2023 Why doesn’t Wilder want to face Andy face to face to negotiate the terms?”Īndy Ruiz with a message to Deontay Wilder after Wilder's team confirmed they've sent him an official offer… We are ready to fight Wilder tomorrow! We tried to set up a meeting with Wilder and Andy to discuss the fight face-to-face when he was here in Los Angeles, but Wilder chose not to do that. Wilder is making excuses as he doesn’t want the fight. continued, “I told Wilder, ‘How do you expect my son to fight you for that type of money?’. You’re fighting a former champion who was the first Mexican heavyweight champion.’ I told Wilder that ‘you aren’t fighting an ordinary Mexican fighter. How is he going to ask for the majority of the money when it is a 50/50 fight? (Deontay) Wilder isn’t a champ, and neither is Andy. Wilder wants to earn the majority of the money for the fight. Wilder asked Andy to accept a financial offer that just wasn’t right. So we discussed the fight, and Wilder spoke directly to Andy (Ruiz Jr.) about it over the phone. said, “When Wilder was negotiating with us, he posted a video ( Fight Hype Interview) that fighters at that level (Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury, Andy Ruiz Jr., etc.) need to negotiate the fight themselves so they can make the most money. In an exclusive call with ProBoxTV, Ruiz Sr. commented on the post by saying, “Let’s go,” his father, Andy Ruiz Sr., who also serves as Ruiz Jr.’s advisor, has some thoughts about the Wilder comments while also shedding some light on a phone call they all shared talking about the possibility of a fight. “Let’s get this fight on, man!” sends a message to #WilderRuiz, anyone?! /oC0FUiYBxO- Premier Boxing Champions June 26, 2023Īlthough Ruiz Jr. Remember that before it’s too late, then you’ll have regrets while your father lectures you on how you should have saved your money lol#BombZquad #TilThisDay” “ Stop playing and be a man and make your own decisions and not allow your daddy to mess up your last few years #DaddyBoy ❤️ It's okay to be that, but you're a grown-ass man with children depending on you. Although the tweet by Premier Boxing Champions didn’t have any captions, the Instagram post by Wilder himself had some specific comments for Ruiz Jr. On Monday night, former WBC champion Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) posted a video calling out former unified champion Andy Ruiz Jr. It’s frustrating as the heavyweight division has always been the one that draws in the casuals and makes a boxing card into an event. As the interim WBO heavyweight champion Zhilei Zhang (25-1-1, 20 KOs) said a few weeks ago on Instagram, “The heavyweight division is a mess.” It really is, and it seems like the biggest names in the division are dancing around each other, while discussing the idea of fighting both privately and publicly.
