Wilder explains why he is set to reject $100m+ DAZN deal

Deontay Wilder insists he loves being a free agent, thus why he is set to reject a $100m+ deal from US broadcaster DAZN. It was reprted that the WBC heavyweight champion was offered upwards of $100million for three fights against Dominic Breazeale, Anthony Joshua and then AJ again in a rematch. However it’s now understood his team will reject the offer and, when asked about this, the American explained why. “So many people try to dictate my career and tell me, ‘I should do this, I should do that, I shouldn’t do this, I shouldn’t do that’,” Wilder said. “$12.5m is laughable now, $15m is laughable. All this stuff I was supposed to have done, I didn’t do any of that and now look at my career. “I’m betting on myself and you can’t go wrong with yourself. “I love being a free agent, I love being able to move about doing what I do and we’ll see what the future holds.”
