The Lowdown in the Ring: Wilder Spills on Joshua's Crew Playing the Ticket Game!
Ex-heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder's spilling the beans: he's heard Anthony Joshua's team's been scooping up tickets for their fighter's matches.
"I've hammered this point before, and I'll do it again: true champs are born, not made. Joshua? They crafted him into a champ. They turned him into a fighter. They shelled out for all sorts – even his fight venues. 'Oh, he packed the arena.' Nope. Didn't sell squat. They just snapped up tickets and flipped them.
I'm hip to their backstage antics. The old 'sellout' illusion – they hoard all the tickets themselves, then act like they're hotcakes. They recycle those same tickets in a sly way.
It's an ancient trick in the book. Now folks are gawking from the sidelines, going, 'Man, those tickets vanished quicker than Michael Jackson's moonwalk.' For real? That's the con job," Wilder dished to The Last Stand Podcast.
Mark your calendars. December 23rd is Wilder vs. Parker and Joshua vs. Wallin. Plus, the WBC boss says Wilder-Joshua's gonna be a challenger showdown.
