Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Trainer Malik Scott on Snags in Joshua Fight Talks: 'It's a Real Frustrating Situation'

Your hatred for Hearn has completely erase your thinking faulty if you had any.

Don’t hate Hearn, just the guy is full of BS. Fury/wilder was easy enough to make but when it comes to Aj/fury or Aj/wilder these fights seem to never materialize. For the most part it’s Hearn fault.

What are these two's options? Wilder could fight Usyk, I guess, and Joshua, Fury, but I thought the calculation was to go all in on Wilder first and make the Fury fight even bigger if successful. The Fury fight could still be made even if Joshua lost, but a win would give him more leverage and set up an even stronger narrative to sell the Wembley super fight.

I hear what you're saying and it's logical given AJ and Wilder don't fight each other. The problem is Fury isn't willing to make the fight with Usyk and he has 3 of 4 titles. Joshua is a former titlist and thus doesn't really hold many cards even though he is still a draw. Fury would probably offer him 5-10% take it or leave it.
