" Hearn Says He Would Advise Joshua to Fight Wilder over Possible Title Shot Against Hrgovic"

Yeah... no he won't.

And out the other side of his mouth says...

"If he were to ask me....i'd say go with your heart".

Lets face it...theres a recognisable theme with Joshua.

Won a vacant Commonwealth title against Cornish.

Won a vacant British title against Whyte.

Won the IBF title from Martin who had won the vacant title in his previous fight.

Fighting Hrgovic for the vacant IBF title would just bring him full circle.

There was more money in this 5 years ago. Joshua didnt fight Wilder for 50-100 million, but got KOd for 20.

If he fights Wilder he will make 50 million if the Saudi's are paymasters. If not the fight won't happen unless it's for all the marbles which is highly unlikely considering who is holding them.

It's not like he sat and waited for them to become vacant.

When it came to unifying belts it was him who put them together and kept them together.

No-one else was interested. Joshua went where the belts where. And he went there earlier than any of his peers.

Fair enough. He avoided a few mandatories...but he did fight Parker who controversially won his vacant belt against Ruiz. And he did fight Klitshcko for the vacant WBA....so i suppose they were decent wins.

I guess you meant Wilder didn't fight for $100M and undisputed champ instead got slaughered twice in a row for $20M. And now he's desperately begging for that missed payday. And after Parker has destroyed him he will kiss that payday definitely good bye.

Yeah...Saudi blood money has shifted the power balance towards the fighters rather than the promoters and org rankings for mandos and straps.

AJ wants to go down as a 3 time world champ not the guy who fought a busted old windmill in the desert.

Saudi blood money? Obviously you are guilible and not knowledgeable otherwise you should have known that the USA and their western allies have their money soaked deeply in blood. The Saudis are angels compared to what the USA have done and are still doing home and abroad for money and power. I have nothing against the USA or its citizens but I can't stand their hypocrisy. You need to enlighten yourself. I recommend that you read "The Brothers" by Stephen Kinzer to get a clue.

BTW, Saudi money is their oil money.

Eddie just sees money plus it would be late summer by the time Hrgovic was arranged waiting on the ibf which may not happen.

I believe the fight may get made when Eddie stops saying it is his next fight. Every time Eddie says Joshua will fight Fury or Wilder next, he ends up fighting someone nobody is asking for...Franklin, then Helenius, and now Otto.

Would agree with Hearn. Joshua v Wilder is the fight fans want to see.
