Comments Thread For: Wilder's Trainer Wants Joshua To Avoid Interim-Fight, Worried He'll Get Knocked Off

How can you ask Joshua to fall back, but if DuBois pulls out, you gonna fight Usyk???

It's easy to understand where he's coming from , Joshua in the Middle East would be a massive payday for him and Wilder and as bad as Whyte looked against Fury and Franklin he would still be in with a decent shot to put the final nail in the coffin. If they do risk Joshua in the summer I don't think Whyte would get the job but then again who would they dig up for him?

Maybe he can fight a friend who will take a dive like Scott or Helenius did to help sell the fight?

Basically they re very concerned that a potential big payday for Wilder would be spoiled by AJ getting stopped again. Indeed AJ is very gunshy and he may get ktfo by a c level fighter with big cojones. Hearn must find next a real bum for AJ.

Wilder is doing the same thing already. He's laser-focused on the money Joshua fight. He can't fight Ruiz, who said it's an easy fight to make.

Look down the list of past opponents it should be easy!

AJ will 100% have an interim fight because after wilder KOs him it’s over. No more fury fight no more drawing power. He really should’ve fought fury in the summer. At least after fury flatlines him he can say he lost to the best

David Price, Robert Helenius & Lucas Browne. Get yourselves ready boys! For, only one of you CAN be AJ's next opponent! I got RH. They will, seriously, say, he competed against a lot of guys!

I'll be shocked if Hearn let's AJ fight Wilder anytime soon. Wilder will at least have to turn 40, or get knocked out another couple times before he'll consider it.

AJ v Wilder makes a lot of sense. AJ ain't got nowhere else to go, has he ?
