i dunno, but it would be a more exciting crowd in the uk and help develop wilders name there.

It can sell out, I guess. It also can be a nice option, if Joshua beats Parker and than faces Povetkin. Wilder will have a warm-up fight against Whyte in that time.

Wilder needs to come to the UK to fight Whyte @ the 02 or something similar. It will sell and Wilder gets some exposure over here because not many people know who is over here. Hell not many people know who is in the states.

He made a decent name for himself back in 2012 when he demolished Audley in Sheffield.. The Whyte fight works anywhere IMO, but makes much more sense in the UK. £4m I think is easy money to knock out Whyte..

It's a good fight to make, will be entertaining while it lasts, which probably won't be that long.

They are both technically poor, and like to wing big shots in, it'll be a rock'em sock'em type affair.

Makes sense for both parties and the perfect fight to build a fight between Wilder and Joshua, thought there is always the slim chance Whyte sparks him out.

Why the Barclays? Eddie Hearn offered Wilder double the purse the American received for the Luis Ortiz bout to face Dillian Whyte in the UK, but 'The Bronze Bomber' turned it down.

It looks as though Wilder is unwilling to face Whyte, but if he's forced to do so by the WBC, the fight will be staged in Britain, since Matchroom won't lose the purse bid.

No it wouldn't sell out... Whyte is not that compelling a Heavyweight... Not that many people like him and people in America haven't heard of Whyte... He's not an interesting a fistic figure like Klitschko and Joshua.

At the time Chris Arreola fought Vitali Klitschko he had a bigger following than Deontay Wilder did before the Ortiz fight... This last fight probably makes Wilder the biggest American Heavyweight attraction since Tyson and Holyfield... The Ortiz fight was a big deal and many folks figured his world would come crashing down.

He's bigger than McCall, Mercer, Bowe, Norton, Byrd, Dokes, Weaver, Smith, Tubbs, Witherspoon, Spinks and most Americans who came into a Heavyweight Title in the last 30 years... I actually don't think he's as big as Gerry Cooney was just prior to the Holmes fight... Wilder comes across as too heavy handed, egotistic, and over-the-top verbally..

Tyson was really in-your-face verbally like Wilder, but he was much more likable.. It did't matter if Mike lost a few.. It was that little boy voice Tyson had and his sense of humor.. He had an aura about him Wilder doesn't have.
