Deontay Wilder Accuses Anthony Joshua of Ticket Sales Manipulation
In a fiery revelation, Deontay Wilder has accused Anthony Joshua of resorting to classic ticket sales manipulation tactics, labeling it as "one of the oldest tricks in the book" in the boxing world. Wilder, a seasoned heavyweight fighter, didn't mince words as he voiced his opinion on Joshua's ticket-selling methods during an interview on The Last Stand podcast. The former WBC champion Wilder raised eyebrows, alleging that Joshua's team has been artificially inflating ticket sales figures by purchasing large volumes of tickets and subsequently redistributing them for free. He suggested that this move creates an illusion of a sold-out arena, which enhances Joshua's public image and reputation as a top-tier boxing draw. Expressing his discontent with Joshua's approach to ticket sales, Wilder emphasized that while Joshua may have enjoyed a stellar career and immense popularity, he believes the British boxer was "made" rather than being a natural-born champion. He highlighted the practice of manipulating ticket sales figures as a strategy used to portray events as sold-out when, in reality, they might not be. Wilder, 38, and Joshua, 34, are both slated to fight on the same card in Saudi Arabia in the coming week. Joshua is set to face Otto Wallin, while Wilder is making his return to the ring after a hiatus of over two years against former WBO champion Joseph Parker. The potential victories of both fighters could set the stage for a long-anticipated showdown between the two heavyweight superstars. Revealing his confidence and vigor ahead of his fight, Wilder assured fans that despite his age, he's far from finished in the sport. With a belief in his abilities, he expressed eagerness to showcase his seasoned skills on December 23rd, signaling that his best is yet to come. #DeontayWilder #AnthonyJoshua #Boxing #Heavyweight
