Eddie Hearn calls Deontay Wilder an ‘idiot’ in scathing X-rated rant about dodging Anthony Joshua fight
Negotiations over a potential mega fight between the pair have been going on for over a year, but Hearn has now seemingly lost his patience with Wilder
EDDIE HEARN has launched a scathing attack on Deontay Wilder - labelling the American an "idiot" and a "f***ing waste of time."
Hearn and Wilder's team have been in back and forth negotiations over a mega-fight with Anthony Joshua for over a year.
But the Matchroom boss now appears to have finally lost his patience with 'The Bronze Bomber.'
, Hearn also took the opportunity to slam the people who believe that Wilder actually wants to fight Joshua - insisting the 32-year-old is just trying to use AJ to raise his own profile.
Hearn blasted: “I’m sick and tired of those idiots out there who think he wants the fight.
“How stupid have you got to be to think that Deontay Wilder wants this fight - just listen to what he’s saying."
Wilder has since gone on to ask for a 60-40 split - should he get the better of Tyson Fury on December 1 - with Hearn hitting back by sensationally claiming "no one knows who he f***ing is".
He added: “Boring-boring, mate f*** off, mate you ain’t earned three million bucks, f*** sake, you can walk up any city, any high street, any town in the world and ask anyone who Deontay Wilder is - no ones got a f***ing clue.
“He ain’t even going to do 300 buys on pay-per-view - he wants 60-40, IDIOT.”
Hearn continued: “F***ing don’t waste our time, don’t use Joshua’s name to try and gain a profile and publicity.
“F***ing waste of time, waste of my life, if that’s what he really thinks please don’t waste my time - I’m really f***ing busy.

“I've got no time for time wasters, give me someone that wants to fight Joshua, not talk about it to try and raise there profile.
“There’s only one Deontay Wilder, yeah there is only one Deontay Wilder and no one knows who he f***ing is - you're the only one who says that.
“It’s just so-so draining, all we do is chase, all we do is make approaches, all we do is make offers, all we do is try and have negotiations."
