Comments Thread For: Joshua Doesn't Want Wilder In Ring Post-Parker to Hype Fight

[Straightener]

Wow, went to post but, looking at the first 6 posts, there's really nothing more to say. Guy clearly doesn't want this fight right now and boxing fans know it.

He probably knows he’s fighting someone else next ..... I can’t see any other reason

Bet he will fight in the states next against Miller To build hearns American pull

It’s bulls**t but that’s what’s happening I recon . Wilder will probably fight whyte in the uk then the main event in vegas or Wembley after

Again annoying but that’s what’s happening . Maybe if wilder storms the ring it may force Hearn to shape up which wouldn’t be a bad thing

Translation: I don’t want to fight Wilder and derail the hype train.

Okay just admit you don’t want it.

look at the joshua fanboys

"omg wilder fans didnt even read it...he just said theres no point if the fight isnt next"

that is the point...it should be next...and hearn is trying to skirt around it....

mostly the same guys that were hating on canelo are now ok with AJ taking his time...lol....hearn is legit worried about wilder

You're right it should be next. Sounds like Joshua agrees too considering his words in that article are:

“No one wants to hear about this percentage, who walks in the ring first,” Joshua said. “They just want to know that we’re going to fight. They don’t care about the business and all that stuff that goes on in the background. That’s why I don’t want to get into the ring and turn it into a hype job. I want to give the fans what they want.
“I have been in touch with their camp since last December, after I fought [Carlos] Takam [on October 28]. And it’s something that we have been working on slowly, and we’ll get there for sure.”

AJ isn't confident enough to predict the win over Parker and doesn't want to embarrass himself if he loses or wins badly...

Who wants windmill talking pooh in your face after a hard slog at the office?

Parker definitely won't either!

Why is AJ like this? I would like for him to be more Vocal but these things come naturally and talking trash and building up fights you have to be a natural too. I don’t think these two are scared AJ & Wilder both want this fight but there is No question that Boy from Tuscaloosa Alabama want it more.

Weak & Spineless "behaviour"(.. and this ain't France fool) is trying to deflect the fact that your boy is shook and will probably put off any confrontation because his psyche is already crushed by the inevitable future of giving up his belts to Wilder.

Joshua is North London,he aint scared about some Skinny Alabama Girl.He will eat Wilder soon....Maximising his profits by doing you Americans a favour.Taking out both your Loudmouth Heavyweights.Jarell Miller first in NYC then Wilder in Vegas,who knows he might doing America a favour by getting rid of those two.

Wilder fan here. Totally agree with AJ on this one. No need for theatrics until they ring the bell for round one.

On another note. Ortiz actually initiated the in-ring face-to-face with Wilder after KOing the bum he fought in his previous fight.

nothing wrong with a little hype...I think aj is more concerned with pressure from fans to face wilder if they square off in the ring. right now aj is in the driver's seat as far as negotiations go, but it won't be a good look if wilder talks **** to his face and behind the scenes continues pricing himself out causing delays. to the casual fans, it'll look like aj is avoiding the fight.

Not said anything wrong here yet again but understandably the Yanks are jumping all over it.

[Real King Kong]

I'd love to see you call him Beyoncé to his fight. Eat a right hand and run to the feds for a payday.

Charlie z said worse **** than that to wilder and walked away virtually unscathed.
