      Wilder wasn't a champion any more when AJ fought Franklin.

      He tried to fight Wilder when they were both champions. Wilder said himself that he was offered more money to fight Joshua than he got for fighting Fury.

        More weird mindset from Joshua.

        Theoretically, let's spitball here.

        Let's say he wins next weekend, then beats Wilder in March.

        Let's also say Fury beats Usyk in feb

        Then it's AJ vs Fury in summer next year and bam he's undisputed.

        I'm not saying that's what will happen but that's what AJ should be intending to happen if he had his head screwed on properly. "I'm only 2 fights away from undisputed"

          He’s a beaten man mentally.

          All he’d have to do is accept ALL terms from the winner of Fury/Usyk, then go in and get the job done.

          What he really means is that he doesn’t want to give up A-Side to make undisputed happen.

            Even if winner of Usyk/Fury comes to him and offers him financial A-side to fight them as the challenger (not going to happen, but for example sake) he still won't take it because he knows he can't win. He is fighting Wilder next spring only because he doesn't have a belt to lose and it is a lot of money.

            What he really means is "I don't have enough time left in my career because I will have to wait until the winner of Usyk/Fury starts geting stripped of their belts while they rematch and also for Wilder to retire then start collecting the belts again against lesser opponents who I can defeat."

              I'll give the man respect for once being the Champion, but what has, or hasn't gone on in his career since, is totally self-inflicted Go cry yourself a river, chump.

                Big guy, you are fighting Wallin. In 9 days. Remember.

                Maybe you should stop talking about Wilder and Fury for a little.

                  5-6 years to do what Tyson did in 1?

                  AJ is such a *****. I don't know how this fool gets fans.

                    People don't understand Joshua. He says stuff like that all the time in his interviews. He doesn't want to reveal his actual plans. He admitted it does that in interviews. 100% he plans to be undisputed.

                    He does sound like an idiot in interviews though. Talks in a weird way

                      When you only fight 1-2 times a year yeah unfortunately it will take that long. He needs to be fighting 3-4 times a year at least. If he really wants to be Undisputed then he needs to be willing to work for it.
