WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder’s personal war with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn continues to escalate.
Wilder flat-out refused Hearn’s new offer of $20 million over two fights and had some choice words for Hearn on Twitter:
Nah I’m good you can “kumbaya it”
go help those in need.
You got that new boxing app deznuts right!
Man use it on that.
You’ll need it to pay back all the money they loaned ya, no top US fighter signing that ***** trash.
Besides why would anyone sign w/U?

$50M up front
W/50% split deal for your biggest client
Your a disease for the sport #Facts— Deontay Wilder (@BronzeBomber) June 29, 2018
Hearn has said recently that he has already signed six or seven fighters to the new streaming app called DAZN, which is part of the Perform Group.
However an announcement has not been made on them just yet.
It is expected in the coming weeks at a launch for DAZN in the US that the boxers will be unveiled.
Recently DAZN added the World Boxing Super Series to their American content roster, as well as adding Bellator MMA’s content to their app’s service too.
Hearn has also told Wilder in a social media video yesterday that if he does not accept the new offer to fight Joshua in April 2019 that it could be Joshua vs Dillian Whyte on the date instead.
