Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Back in October, November - But No Clear Option

[Kigali]

Wilder is probably in no rush to fight AJ until he can get a belt off of Parker. He also might want to fight against someone a bit closer to the elite level. Charles Martin is due a comeback!!!

AJ is probably in no hurry to fight Wilder...He hasn't breathed his name.

BTW

There is no "elite level" in today's heavyweight scene.

LOL right. I think some cats are too into what boxing used to be or what it should be at the level Joshua is on.



Yep the guy is filming an Under Armor ad today ffs. Joshua was big before & he's only on the road to getting bigger as we speak. And he's going to passively be in your face all the time via these ads now more & more + all the normal media stuff fighters do & the less normal stuff personalities like he is does.

Mentioned elsewhere that I have recently been in Under Armour shops in Oz, London and Hong Kong

In every one of those shops, his photo is prominently displayed at the front of the store with Steph Curry taking centre stage

That was before the Klit fight so they'll only be pushing him harder now

Joshua makes a mandatory defense of the first ever world title he won so he doesn't get stripped and is considered to e ducking by you lmao... Its not like he can move up and capture the IBF in the next division.

He has a choice between two mandatories, Ortiz and Pulev. Which is the better fighter? I don't want to hear about the IBF belt he won from Charles ****ing Martin! I don't want to see anymore Dominic Breazeale fights. I want Ortiz, Wilder, Parker, or the rematch with Wlad. Pulev is unacceptable!

[Butch.McRae]

Fans don't even know who Ortiz is.

You're probably right. Just thinking about possible options that could help him. This sucks that he doesn't have more push/support. But it's hard with his resume. I don't think people realize he's had 5 fights since beating Stiverne.

I'm also frustrated with the fights in Alabama. It's like they're purposely limiting his media imprint. He does pretty solid business in NYC at Barclay's. They could've had at least 4 of those fights in NYC. Would've given him more opportunities to show his personality in the media and engage with brands. More writers would've covered his fights too. He should have a sponsorship or two by now. He's WBC HW champ.

I wasn't suggesting Wilder was ducking, just that he wants to be on more level financial terms at the negotiating table. Most lucrative fight out there financially for Joshua is probably Fury. Just good Buisness.
