Anthony Joshua "Deontay Wilder Fight Can Happen In 2019 Or 2020"

[BodiesInFlight]

Thanks for the correction. I got lost in my thoughts. Apologies.

Do whatchu do best brother.

[tokon]

It should be in 2018. There's literally no excuse for either guy or their teams to not make that fight in 2018 if they both get through their next fight.

Sounds like there's only one guy not wanting that fight . . . . .

Where the Joshua fans at?

How can you explain this one AJ fans?

Huh?

Explain THIS!!

It went from next year to 2 years after!

His own coach told him he's not ready for Wilder, a guy you haters keep calling a bum and a chicken!

Wilder is the most feared fighter in boxing and it's not even close!

Joshua said: “This little devil on my shoulder — the fighting man says Wilder at Wembley 2018 boom.

“And then this devil on this shoulder, the manager hat says ‘what’s best to guide my career,’ so it’s playing devils advocate and putting them together and seeing what works out best for my career.”

“If Wilder works we’re going to make it happen in 2018, if Wilder isn’t the right opponent for next year, then we’ll put it back into 2019.

“But I’m just going to do things my way, people just can’t rush my career, that’s what I’ve learnt.

“I’ve got a career I need to map it out, I’m going to take fights at the right time for me and if it’s next year or the year after or the year after when I fight him I’ll be in a position to beat him.”

"I started boxing 2010, Wilder turned pro 2009, so he’s been a pro one year longer than my whole career.

“So you can see why they’re rushing him for certain reasons and you can see why I’m taking my time for certain reasons.

“The fights are there, but as I say I’m going to do it in my own time when I feel ready."
“I’m happy with the pace definitely because we wouldn’t be here, we wouldn’t be talking about these fights.

"It’s being realistic where I’m at and understand this is a career as well because who knows, I could take that fight next year and it might not be the right time, I may of needed another two months.

“As I say the fighter on my shoulder says let’s rock and roll the coach on my shoulder says ‘you know what Josh, you need to just work on a few more things before you take a fight like that.

"Because when it’s all said and done, all that matters is that win, not the fact that people say ‘he didn’t fight him here and he didn’t fight him there’.

"The manager, my coach will determine when I fight Wilder, me on this hand says it’s no problem we’ll fight whenever."

“I listen to what my coach says, he says, ‘this isn’t about putting on a good show for the promoter, this is about your career — your health and the decisions you make will pave your way in the sport of boxing so you have to be smart about each decision you make."

Joshua was also asked if David Haye was able to get past Tony Bellew, would he be in the mix as a possible opponent.

He answered: “Yeah, that’s what I’m saying, there’s so many fights out there, yeah, they're all in the mix for sure, so that’s what I mean there’s options, it’s not like I’m stuck with one fight or one option."

Looks like AJ taking isn't the most keen to fight Wilder on 2018! What a p*ssy. You have Wilder who has only ever fought bums then AJ who is the best heavyweight right now but he's swerving Wilder!

AJ better not start fighting bums like Wilder does.. But sounds like he wants to duck tough fights until he's more experienced. What a bunch of p*ssys in the heavyweight division.

Joshua is a super duper ***** made *****. ****en *****.

To hell with that BS. I thought you were the real fighting champ. Now you are talking about 2020. If you and Wilder wanted to see who really is the true champion of the world the fight could be made in early 2018. It's a big fight right now and it won't get much bigger. Now there is cherry picker Wilder and AJ who is starting to sound like he is afraid to fight the cherry picker. Heavyweights isn't new and exciting. It sucks to me because the best keep ducking the best. The two best middleweights just fought and they will fight again in their next fight. Jacobs and Charlo will probably get their chance soon.

[uppercut510]

Whats ridiculous is Deontay has been a pro for 10 years has nearly 40 fights and has not fought ONE legitimate opponent.

every time he tries...... u know what never mind

I was a big AJ fan and I just became an ex AJ fan. Wilder is calling him out and he is stalling or maybe intends to duck Wilder completely. A good champion fights his top challenger now and doesn't say maybe in a couple of years. Wilder made it clear he wants to fight AJ,the sooner the better so it's AJ who is holding up the fight.

2020 lol. Wtf is Joshua talking about? By 2020 he should be fighting Dubois if that guy is for real ffs not Wilder.

Joshua vs Wilder makes sense in 2018, if they start this marination bs again when they got the heat they do right now & it builds up for another year (2nd half of next year is when I think they should be aiming this fight) or they are just gonna help make 2017's great year be all for nothing & that momentum will be lost.

Don't take the talk THAT seriously. Sometimes these guys seem to be gauging public perception & other meta sh^t like that with this type of sh^t. Actions is what you wanna watch for not words. Words in boxing are a dime a dozen. The actions are what matter.

Now if his actions follow these words then fair enough. But idk that we know how legit this sh^t is til after Pulev & maybe after another mandatory cuz I think maybe Ortiz could pop up back on Joshua's radar since the Wilder fight didn't go down cuz I don't expect him to be suspended or anything super serious like that.

[NahMean]

So why are you guys still fans of Anthony Joshua?

Bumsquad hasn't fought anyone in his entire 10 year career. Why do you still suck his nuts dry?
