    Is Anthony Joshua a "businessman" like Adonis Stevenson?

    By that I mean is he turning away from his most dangerous opponent in order to seek more money elsewhere?

    Sho, they're begging Fury to come back. That would be the best news that Joshua and his fans would ever hear if he mounted a comeback. It creates another road block for Wilder Joshua.

      Wilder is following the Haymon script of holding on to your title avoiding guys like Wlad, Fury, Haye, etc.
      Beontay may be worse than Stevenson.
      Stevenson is 40 yrs old.

        Every fighter targets the biggest financial fights. The only reason not to is if you aren't confident of winning.

        Why did Wilder turn down $4.5 mil to make $1.4 mil again?

            Deontay clearly and unequivocally said he wants Joshua next, though. He's not the one putting up hurdles and stalling the fight.

              His financial requirements are an hurdle. Why would Joshua take a pay cut to fight Wilder?

              Wilder turned down 4.5 mil to fight for 1.5. The fight that would promote him in the UK and make the Joshua fight a real possibility.

              If Wilder wanted Joshua, then walking away from Whyte made zero sense.

                He might as well be fighting in wingtips and a pinstripe suit~

                  What are his financial requirements?

                  And why would Wilder sign to fight Dillian Shyte if he can't get it in writing that Joshua is next?

                    Well he asked for $7 mil against Whyte. Joshua will be a lot more.

                    Why? Because it was $4.5 mil instead of $1.5 and increase his draw in the UK, taking a massive step to making the Joshua fight. Why do you Wildtards find that hard to understand?
