There has been much talk of Wilder-Ruiz provided Wilder beat Helenius.

But now that is done, even though Ruiz is calling out Wilder, Wilder is calling out Usyk.

 

[Philly Shell]

Well, yeah, but what's your question?

The ? in the title is because the fight hasn't been made yet.

 

[Philly Shell]

Not sure what Wilder is playing at? He says Joe Joyce would be a much tougher opponent than Andy Ruiz. Now he may well be right but is that any way to promote a fight between himself and Ruiz?

May 6 is the working date but they are keeping an eye on whether Canelo chooses that same date.

This fight is gonna happen, with the winner getting a shot at Tyson Fury's WBC title.

AJ declined to fight Wilder. So Wilder will fight Ruiz instead.

 

[Philly Shell]

It sounds like there are money issues, with Wilder not be offered what he expected.

Wilder-Ruiz must be in doubt now that the IBF have ordered purse bids for Ruiz-Hrgovic.
