So why didn't Wilder showed interest in fighting Klitschko...

[Dean_Razorback]

AJ was huge before Klitschko-

yep. his fights before wlad, with martin an breazeale, were huge

He was clearly the 2nd biggest draw in the HW division behind Klitschko. Selling 20k tickets and on PPV.

Why would he call out a guy who was toying with him in sparring? Klitchsko made Beyonte look worse than paulie sparring Mcgregor.

They're not as huge as the Klitschko fight.
Good thing that happened in the Klitsch fight was that AJ fought a live dog that could still bite.
AJ got KD'd and no one could say it's a cherrypicked fight against a washed up retiring fighter.
It's almost the same as Horn beating Pac.

[Pac=Duran]

...the same interest he's showing on Joshua?
It's obvious when he saw AJ dismantled Klitsch in a spectacular see-saw battle and in a glittering celebratory environment in the UK, he felt envious.
Let's face it, AJ is huge today because of Klitschko.
Take away the Ukrainian superstar in the equation, AJ would still be a nobody.

Word on the street is that he got absolutely embarrassed and KDd multiple times in sparring. Gauranteed L.

[rickJen]

They were buddies and train in the same camp.

That's really nonsense.
AJ and Klitchko showed no animosity with each other.
It was a friendly, sportsman-like fight.
Hearn presented them in a AJ post-fight and Klitsch was all smiles.

[boliodogs]

AJ was already a huge draw in the UK before he beat Wlad. Look how much money the AJ vs Wlad fight made and it wasn't all because of Wlad. Sure Wilder is jealous of the money AJ makes. How could he not be jealous watching AJ make many times what he makes every fight.

[Teetotaler]

Lmao wilder actually said he'll wait for wlad to get older. Then wlad lost to fury

Thing was he was asked many times about Fury and Klitschko in his first year and always answered without giving anything specific.
He's looking at some future event only he knows when.
So yeah Klitschko wasn't yet old enough.
Wilder is a huge joke.
