Comments Thread For: Will Joshua-Wilder Really Happen?

[STREET CLEANER]

If either guy loses that fight is less marketable. Too much postering by these guys.

This fight is 6 year's past its relevance & my interest.
They were both in theyre primes & undefeated & with Fury on a health break they were the top 2 of the next generation. They could have been the next 3 kings instead we got 3 entitled to chancers.

2018 3 Eddie low balls to Wilder & Wilder called they're bluff & then offered Aj the flat 50 mill he wanted.
2019 Wilder turned down the dazn offer which in hindsight was lucky as Aj then lost.
2024 Only the Saudi blood money is enough to possibly get them in the same ring at the same time but it's too late. Wilders in Ajs preferred age range of 38-41 and shot while Ajs just broken & this fight is now the equivalent to Brooke v Khan only as its heavyweight so our head's turn.

I'd love to buy the box office this weekend but I'd rather see the Saudi ppv fail again for this duck card.

Joshua won't fight Wilder he will take the easier route as always against Hrgovic when the titles become fragmented , I , like nearly everyone would like the Wilder fight but based on experience all my money is on Hrgovic , who by the way is a pointless 41/1 on to beat Mori ....I smell a rat!

No. It will not happen so soon.

If all the 'big' fights are going to be in Saudi then that is without doubt bad for the sport it would then basically become a TV only sport , I will watch but Dazn won't be getting a bean from me .

Ditto!

Sure cuz now there is a bank that will pay them. But neither is a threat to the top 2. Maybe not even Zhang. But if alphabets start stripping again, both can proudly be the next Bruce Seldon or Shannon Briggs phony champ

There seems real momentum for the fight which is great but really these two should be fighting against each other in the UK or the US not in sterile SA.

You think the not-sterile US or UK can pay them the kind of money they’ll make in “sterile” Saudi Arabia?

Why not at this point, Both have been humbled and have really nowhere else to go for the HUGE payday

[Madison Boxing]

if they both wanted it they would have been fighting this weekend, hardly as if its a fight that needs building... my hunch is that joshua doesnt want it, as much as i have slated wilder it must be horrible getting in the ring with him knowing its almost guaranteed you are going to hit the deck at some point and if you switch off you could be a highlight reel ko victim
