Deontay Wilder Says Big Fight Announcement Coming Soon

Tuscaloosa, Ala. - The WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder was in his hometown of Tuscaloosa Monday to speak with children at the Police Athletic League’s basketball camp. More than 100 kids, ages 8-18, participated in the camp and came out to hear Wilder’s message.

“They’re going to go back, even the ones that are half way paying attention, I got their focus because they saw I was real and I want to be a father figure to them,” Wilder said.

The Bronze Bomber’s message revolved around “creating something you want to become,” goal setting, and rising above negative comments made by others.

“I’m above what they say and I will prove them wrong,” Wilder said of his speech to the children, “I’m going to prove you wrong. It’s not an “if,” it’s a when.”

We spoke with Deontay about his plans inside the ring. Wilder claims he will have a big fight announcement soon and still has goals to unify the boxing title.

“I’m very confident that it will happen. That’s just a fact of when, there’s so many things going on. Boxing is definitely a business and we approach it accordingly. Boxing is a worldwide sport, so we have so many different people all over the world,” Wilder said.

Carl Frampton: Lee Selby Wasted Our Time in Negotiations

Former two division champion Carl Frampton has accused IBF featherweight champion Lee Selby of leading him on during recent negotiations that went nowhere.

Frampton (23-1, 14 KOs) is looking to bounce back on July 29th in Belfast.

Back in January, Frampton suffered his first career defeat, and lost his WBA featherweight title, when he dropped a twelve round majority decision in a rematch to Leo Santa Cruz at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

There were discussions to hold a trilogy fight, but Santa Cruz refused to accept the fight in Belfast - after Frampton took the first two bouts in the United States.

Selby (24-1, 9 KOs) on the other hand had always voiced his willingness to accept the fight in Belfast, but their teams have never been able to reach an agreement.

According to Selby's handlers, Frampton's team was not willing to negotiate in good faith - while Frampton is claiming that Selby's handlers misled them.

Selby's handlers claimed the boxer was available to take the fight. But Frampton says his handlers spoke with the IBF, and the sanctioning body told them that under no circumstances will they allow the champion to bypass his mandatory defense against Jonathan Victor Barros.

“I’m still expecting a big fight this summer in Belfast but it looks like it won’t be against IBF World featherweight champion Lee Selby who just seems to have been wasting our time during negotiations," Frampton wrote in Sunday Life.

“We had been talking to TV networks about the fight with Selby who told us that it could happen despite him having a mandatory fight with Jonathan Barros. Then, myself and Jake McGuigan spoke to the IBF official who made it clear that Selby must face Barros next.”

“Barros had a medical issue earlier this year when his fight with Selby was called off just before the weigh-in when it was supposed to happen on the undercard of my fight with Leo Santa Cruz in Las Vegas. It is obvious now that Selby must now face Barros who is clear to fight.”

GGG is a great fighter. But Danny proved he aint the boogie man everyone thinks he is. He could beat him. That fight was way closer than it should have been based on GGG reputation.

You can't say GGG a great fighter then follow it with "but" because another great fighter gave him a run for his money bruh haha. Fuck reputation, Jacobs had every opportunity to win that fight.

I aint taking nothing away from Danny. They even talked about that in the interview. I'm just saying niggas were talking like GGG was unbeatable at middleweight up until this fight. That's not the case. And if anything, it showed how much of a dog Danny is. I had him winning the fight.

I understand what you saying, but I thought Jacobs could beat him. I even put some $$$ on the fight. In the end, Jacobs didn't do enough to win in my eyes. He had the edge in power shots landed 144 to GGG's 126 but he got smoked when it came to jabs, 105 to Jacobs 31. If you take away the KD, it's 114-113 on two cards and 114-114 on another. There were a couple of close rounds but Jacobs should have pushed the envelope bruh. He didn't do enough. Here's the stats, FYI.

Danny got some moments from the past that made you question but he's bigger and faster than GGG

Danny is probably the biggest middleweight and faster than all of them. GGG hadn't seen anything like him

Danny outperformed expectations but I thought he lost a clear but close decision. Unless the judges were swayed by the crowd, I dindt think that was a either or fight

Finally going the distance don't make him overrated. And as of now, he is unbeatable at MW currently until it's done. I don't think he's going stick around for Charlo but I think people thinking Charlo could do what Jacobs would leave disappointed. I think that's for sure a KO

Only casuals hyped GGG and they were fed that BS by the media. He a hypejob. HBO hype machine and these media outlets made GGG into something he never was. While he has good qualities he has serious flaws. Slow hands, slow feet, no inside game whatsoever, lacks defense etc. Dirrell gave him problems in the Olympics years ago if I'm not mistaken. Before HBO picked him to hype he was fighting bums in Germany. He wasn't nobody special.

They did the same with Pacman, Chocolatito and are doing it now with Loma as we speak. They hype these fighters alot of casual fans from a certain demographic can identify with and try to sway opinions their way.

FYI I had GGG winning that fight, but I can see why you gave Danny that fight. Alot of people felt Danny won.
 
Anybody seen this bullsh*t?
=103s

I'm sorry but I have to write a titangraph on this BS. I never took him seriously, but the same goes for Jim Lampley, Harold Lederman, Al Bernstein, Max Kellerman etc. WTF do Dre and Terence Crawford have in common in terms of fighting style? Apart from being unbeaten fighters the only thing they got in common is their AA ethnicity. Dre is mixed though and was raised by his white father. Why shouldn't he be a star? He won a gold medal for your country, been unbeate since 12, won super six, cleaned out 168 division etc.

lol @ This coded talk. Basically he's saying black fighters can't become superstars because the general public can't identify with 'em. In a sense he's right because racism in boxing is well documented. These people are funny. They'll root for a foreign fighter that doesn't even speak English against an American fighter if that 'domestic' fighter has the 'wrong color or ethnicity.

These p4p lists are a joke too. How is Loma leading any list when he only had 9 pro fights (!) and had a loss? Gary Russell jr. and Nicholas Walters are the names on his resume. He lost to Salido. P4p means you can adapt to any style unless they changed the definition. This ain't no popularity contest. Bud and Dre have proven that they can beat any style. Loma hasn't. While Loma has improved, he's already proven that he has trouble dealing with pressure. I think he'd beat Salido in a rematch though, but we'd have to see. He been ducking Rigo for years now BTW. Why ain't there no outcry for him to fight Rigo who been calling him out for a while now? Where's the demand to avenge his loss against Salido? When Floyd's fights vs Castillo and Maidana were somewhat competitive, there was a demand for a rematch. He fought these guys the same year and beat them convincingly. There was a demand Ward vs. Kovalev after Dre won a UD. There was a demand to see Floyd against guys who they hoped would beat him like Pacman and even Canelo. After Floyd dominated them they made up excuses like "he was too young" or "he's past his prime, he should've fought him 6 years ago" eventhough Floyd is always gonna be 2 years older than Pacman. What's the difference between Floyd, Ward and Loma? They wanted to see the first 2 lose, while they don't wanna see their GWH lose.

When they couldn't get their GWH in the HW division they just created a fictional character with Rocky. No coincidence Rocky got a statue in Philly before Joe Frazier. It gotta be frustrating though, when you control everything in the world, conquered several continents etc., but when a fight takes place on an equal playing field more often than not you'll lose against these people you been trying to hold back and marginalize for centuries. I think it's the same sentiment as when they wanna hate when one of 'their' women choose up on a brother. They lynched brothers for that stuff, just like how they lynched brothers when Jack Johnson beat one of their GWH's. They're threatened by the black man's masculinity.
