With folks like Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise you've got two bonuses to having them on the show, they are prolific movie makers so they will always have something to promote every year or two meaning they will be spending a few weeks in the UK doing interviews anyway and they are both very laid back and settle into Graham's style of interviewing.

Are you for real? Wilder literally laughed on social media when AJ lost, then when he won, he was, as usual, nowhere to be seen. Then, in the first interview back with BT Sport, he said he wouldn't be fighting AJ. And apart from the 100 million that Wilder turned down, tell us more about how AJ and his team are pretending. . . .PMSL.

Are you saying that Deontay Wilder and team are afraid of AJ, but were willing to make the first fight with Tyson Fury within days? The common denominators in this are Hearn/AJ.
