Comments Thread For: Joshua: We're Dangling a Few Carrots To Get Klitschko To Bite

[JimRaynor]

Joshua and his team are doing everything possible to allure Klitschko back into the ring. They're trying to set it up in Las Vegas on a PPV that would pull in significant numbers. Huge payday for the young star, who will be coming in more confident this time around against an even older and sluggish Klitschko. Can't blame him, I'd do the same thing if I were him.

pointless fight, klitschko had his last great fight and still couldnt pull the trigger. overrated, roided brit knows this so wants an easy win.

There was a Fury interview at the weekend, said when he comes back hes automatic mandatory to the belts he lost. Wilder fight can still get delayed longer than 6 months

Let's be honest here.. it's a very big 'if' that Fury comes back, rather than a 'when', and even then he simply would not jump straight into a mandatory challenge having not competed for over 2 years and being the size he is.

Would be very, very unlikely that Fury would be ready to fight Joshua before the Wilder fight is too big not to make. Even if I don't doubt that Joshua would want Fury first if possible as they seem to genuinely dislike each other.

Aj needs to step up and fight the current top heavyweights. Not a 43 year old has been who peaked about 10 years ago.

You just don't want to see him fight Wilder and get Baptized.

You AJ stans ain't fooling anybody.

AJ has only 2 fight options at the moment. Klitchko rematch or Pulev. That is it, unless he vacates a title he has to fight both. Pulev is a waste of time but he is mandatory so AJ has to box him, that being said... Pulev is better then any of Bumsquad 38 opponents his boxed so far 😂...

AJ needs to step up? So according to you Klitchko wasnt a step up? Boxing is about entertainment, that first fight was the best heavyweight match up ive seen in over 15 years. And as for the 43 year old he is contractually obliged to give him the rematch if he wants it. Bumsquad needs to step up, he doesnt want to risk facing Dillian White so instead is pricing himself out. 😂

As if Vlad is a terror.

He wasn't **** when he was young and getting KTFO.

41y/o coming off a loss and a long layoff....BID DEAL.

You act like the Nigerian dope dealer is the first person to stop Vlad.

AJ's fans would rather call Wilder names than actually see them fight.

Ive never been a fan of Wlad but the guy ruled the heavyweight division for 10/11 years without a loss. Why didnt Wilder offer to unify with Klitchko when be was champ? If Wlad aint **** then please tell me what you think of Wilders last 5 opponents? In boxing you fight for money and belts, Whyte is a nobody, Wilder has a resumè which is full of nobodys so why not fight another nobody as its paying wilder 3x his average payday. I would love to see them fight, who wouldnt? AJ has 2 fights lined up, what is wilder gonna do in the mean time? It made sense to box wilder in the UK for big money, build up his name with the uk fans so when he does eventually come to fight AJ theres more interest and more money. That fight makes more money in the UK then in the US.

A fighter doesn't just step up once. Further, there is a thing called cleaning out the division. I want to see one heavyweight rise to be unified champ. That requires champions to fight champions. I would rather that than to see AJ beg Klitchko to fight a rematch. And yes, when you're "sweetening the pot" you're begging.
