AJ - Wilder is a money fight??

7 or 8 years too late, but the most Dangerious heavyweight vs. The most Popular heavyweight of the era, in the Flagship division of the One culturally significant combat sport??

Ya, there's still money involved.

Joshua will be 36 and Willder will be 40 in October. I don't see AJ leaving the comfort of England to come to Wichita for a fight vs Wilder. There may be money involved, but likely not enough.

Given A.J's history of trans Atlantic travel, I suspect not.
Still, Las Vegas or NYC would be happy to host and pay millions.

It's all in the proper marketing. It's a legacy sealer for both title claimants. Even now.
But we need to see what they've got left in tune ups first.

I believe that ship has sailed, but it would do bigger numbers in the UK than it would stateside. At this point, I think AJ will try to muster one last big effort at a title shot, that would yield a nice retirement check for him. As for Wilder, considering his recent losing streak, I wonder if he can get past his tune-up fight.

Still, at this point, the closing of the Fury, Wilder, Usyk, Joshua era, I wouldn't expect Wilder OR Joshua to overcome Usyk, Dubois, Zhang and Parker.

Agreed. Incidentally, Zhang won't be around much longer as a contender. He's 41 and showed a huge vulnerability to the body vs Kabayel.

Kabayel is the most killer body puncher I've seen in a while at Heavyweight. Makes my Liver Quiver watching him do his thing.
That cat is gonna be trouble for anyone.
I'll bet that team Usyk have already had the conversation.

Low blow or not vs Dubois, Usyk clearly hates body shots. Joshua had him hurt briefly in their rematch. If he had attacked the body prior to round 9, there may have been a different outcome. Kabayel brings an under-used weapon to the HW division.
