To all those people claiming AJ is ducking but don't even know how the negotiations have gone.
This is what I said on the 2nd of OCT:
"Now, the money is an issue from AJs side, for Wlad it's more the date, as he has been in training camp for a while and really wants a fight at some point this year. "
Wlad has wanted his next fight asap, since he's been in training so long. He has never been flexible on that date. Which is fair enough. If this fight doesn't happen, it will likely happen as soon as economically possible in 2017.
Neither guy is ducking, each just that each one has priorities. AJ has his IBF, Wlad wants his WBA and a winter date.
