Boxing reportedly has its heavyweight super fight:

One of boxing’s biggest possible fights is apparently close to happening.
According to a report that arose from ESPN Senior Writer Dan Rafael today (Mon., June 11, 2018), WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has agreed to terms offered to him by IBF, WBA, WBO, and IBO champion Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn:
“Deontay Wilder has accepted the terms offered to him by Anthony Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn for them to meet in the United Kingdom for the undisputed heavyweight championship this fall, Shelly Finkel, Wilder’s co-manager, told ESPN on Monday night.
“We have agreed to the terms that Eddie has put out to us for a fight in the U.K.. Deontay has accepted his terms to fight in the U.K. Deontay sent an email to Joshua (Sunday) night and I sent one today to Barry Hearn and Eddie telling them that we officially accept the offer to fight under the terms they gave us and to send us the contract,” Finkel said. Finkel said that the offer is a two-fight deal with terms also agreed to for a rematch that would take place in the United States.”
Wilder has won an incredible 39 fights on his unblemished 40- record by knockout an has defended the WBC title seven times in a row since winning it three years ago.
Joshua has won all but one of his fights by knockout as well, bringing a 21-0 record into the awaited megafight after first gaining widespread notoriety in his classic match with Vladimir Klitschko where he added the WBA and IBO belts to his impressive list of accolades.
Wilder’s manager Finkel recently said to World Boxing News that a supposed $50 million offer to fight in the United States was turned down by Joshua, and even though the offer was on the table, Wilder would now go to Britain and face their hometown champion:
“If for any reason Anthony changes his mind and wants to fight in the U.S, the $50m offer we have made to him is still there. It’s now in Joshua’s court.”
“They gave us an offer, we were hoping they’d accept the U.S offer instead because there’s so much money but instead since they haven’t we’ve decided that if you don’t want $50m then we’re willing to come the UK and take your offer.”
Both fighters fought in March, with Wilder defeating Luis Ortiz in a thrilling, come-from-behind fight where he was nearly finished, while Joshua scored a lackluster win on the scorecards over Joseph Parker.
So the heavyweight division appears to be getting its biggest fight. Who are you picking to win if it does happen?

The combat sports world was underwhelmed by this weekend’s (Sat., March 31, 2018) heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and David Parker.
For the first time in Joshua’s professional boxing career, he failed to put his opponent away, and some sketchy refereeing led to a fairly dismal main event.
However, there was much more action on the undercard, with Alexander Povetkin scoring a vicious fifth-round knockout against David Price.
Check out the finest performance of the night as the boxing world continues to criticize Joshua’s lackluster effort:

Povetkin’s stunning KO kept his WBA Inter-Continental and WBO International heavyweight titles on his waist, and could potentially set up a fight with Joshua should the heavyweight champion opt out of a fight with American heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder.
Price was laid out for quite some time and required an oxygen mask following the brutal knockout loss.

Heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua cemented his star status after knocking out Wladimir Klitschko last year, and now he’s become a hot commodity on the combat sports circuit in a more all-encompassing sense.
So much so that the UFC has reportedly offered Joshua $500 million contract to sign with ZUFFA Boxing, a subsidiary that was created amidst Mayweather vs. McGregor over the summer.
Joshua responded to the offer during a conference call with the press yesterday and said he was “all ears” in considering the UFC’s contract:
“If it’s good business, it makes sense. I’m not in the business and I’m sure Eddie (Hearn) isn’t in it to say, ‘Oh, Dana White, we’re not interested in working with you,’ when we don’t know what’s on the table. We’ll listen and a hundred percent, if it makes sense, we’re all ears, man. So I’m happy that Dana’s coming into the game. Hopefully, he can add some excitement, and we can progress forward and make some good money and make some good fights.”
Joshua is widely considered the best heavyweight in the world right now, and a high-profile super fight against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder hangs in the balance should Joshua get through Joseph Parker on March 31.
UFC President Dana White actually began his career managing boxers and even sponsored Floyd Mayweather before buying the UFC with childhood pals the Fertitta brothers.
White’s love of boxing reared its head once again when he agreed to let his lightweight champion take on Mayweather in a boxing match that has apparently stoked the flames for White’s passion for boxing.
UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic has expressed his desire to fight Joshua in some way or another, and a deal between the UFC and the boxing champ could bring that idea closer to reality.
Do you see Joshua signing with the UFC? Is this attempt indicative of the UFC’s desire to expand into boxing?

The fight world was in for a treat this past weekend as it had two big sporting events, which were UFC 222 and the boxing showdown that aired on Showtime.
That fight, of course, is the huge boxing bout between the challenger, Luis Ortiz, and WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
This big boxing bout went down on Saturday, March 3, 2018, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. UFC 222 went down on the same night but at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The finish of this boxing bout saw both fighters rock each other in the tenth round and Wilder tossed him aside. Wilder rained down strikes that knocked Ortiz down then followed up with some more strikes to finish the fight.
On the flip side, the main event of UFC 222 saw Cris Cyborg successfully retain her title against newcomer Yana Kunitskaya by picking up a TKO win in the first round.
Now that the weekend is over, it’s time to look at the ratings. The prelims for UFC 222 pulled in 905,000 viewers on FOX Sports 1, which is up from the 697,000 average that UFC 221 did and exactly the same as UFC 2220 did in January.
Regarding Ortiz-Wilder, that show averaged 730,000 viewers and peaked in the main event with 1.2 million with the average of 1,055,000 viewers.
It should be noted that FOX Sports 1 is in more homes than Showtime, which has a smaller subscription base than HBO
Here are the average viewership numbers for UFC PPV preliminary cards over the last year:
UFC 208 – 874,000
UFC 209 – 1,033,000
