Deontay Wilder is reportedly demanding $10million to step aside and allow Tyson Fury to lock horns with Anthony Joshua for the undisputed heavyweight title.
The Bronze Bomber suffered his first professional defeat against Fury back in February, with trainer Mark Breland throwing in the towel after seven rounds at the MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas.
Since Fury’s emphatic victory, which handed him the WBC heavyweight crown, talk has surfaced of a potential undisputed showdown with unified champion and British rival Joshua.
But following his decision to exercise a rematch clause with the Gypsy King, Wilder would first need to step aside for that dream domestic matchup to go ahead.
