Wilder vs Joshua fight closer as American heavyweight champ confirms DAZN talks
Bronze Bomber confirmed that promoter Eddie Hearn will have nothing to do with him being a part of the platform
DEONTAY WILDER insisted his fight against Anthony Joshua "will happen for sure" after he confirmed talks with DAZN.
The WBC heavyweight champion, 33, admitted his aim is to join the same streaming service as AJ to help set up the fight in the near future.
Wilder previously fought on Showtime, but he will allegedly meet with DAZN chairman John Skipper soon.
Speaking to Tha Boxing Voice, Wilder said: "I've got a lot of things going on.
"Through these last 24-48 hours, it's been crazy man. Our ears are still open to a lot of offers.
"I'm going to make the best decision for myself, for my family and for my career and we're going to move forwards with that.
"The fight (Joshua) is going to happen. The fight will happen for sure. I don't want people worrying about whether they'll see this fight happen or not.
"You will see the Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua show.
"We will be one champion, one face, one name and it might be soon.
"You guys just have to continue to hold out and pray. Continue to support boxing, continue to support the heavyweight division.

"It’s been fun hearing all the offers and stuff, and now it's time to get to business. I've got a lot of things going on. A lot of good things going on actually.
"I'll always have an open relationship with Showtime. We're family. I love Showtime, and this is not farewell, it's only goodbye for a little bit of time until I see them again."
Wilder confirmed Eddie Hearn, who was been working with DAZN, will have nothing to do with him being part of the platform.
The 33-year-old added: "I know one thing for sure, that Eddie (Hearn) definitely won't ever be involved.
"As far as negotations go, trying to get the job done, it will never be done with him. We don't want no parts with Eddie, I don't want no parts with Eddie at all.
"I don't need him trying to reach out to me, call me or whatever. It's done. One thing you don't do, you don't burn bridges."
