Yup, well they know wilder through windmill highlights but never seen him fight to know the real threat he is.

AJ last fight (on showtime) same network as wilder last fight
Had 300k 🇺🇸 Views & wilders had 1.1m 🇺🇸. Americans don’t care about AJ either but hearns won’t mention that. We have 6 major sports that they don’t have to divide attention too

It’s a true accessment my gf lives in brixton, I’m over there all the time. AJ is your god, he’s your Hercules. 🙄🙄
U guys don’t have 6 other major sports to divide attention with.
Over here if you dodge we just go wAtch one of 6 other major major sports where u guys have fuutball & rugby only

[Crboddiee]

FACTS!! They act like they have $ stock invested in AJ beating up on 42 year olds like WK. if evander rolled in ring in a wheel chair! They would scream from nandos “look! AJ did it! He beat! The best!” 🙄🙄

[Crboddiee]

Agreed same here & im over in NC BUT in uk all the time in brixton I keep telling Britt fans Joshua is a god “in YOUR COUNTRY! Only”

It'll be interesting to hear the Sky commentary on fight night. I bet they don't even mention Wilder's name, they'll just pretend he doesn't even exist.

He is one of the commentators ??

Hearn got Wilder signed up to do the commentary like the Vlad fight. Seriously how more wrong can you be ...

For the record, I don’t really have a lot of interest in seeing Wilder jump in the ring and confront/call AJ out. I’m a veteran fight fan. That stuff is pointless and boring to me. Most of it is fake. And on a personal level, I never see it. Because I change the channel after the final result is announced if it goes the cards. Or when the ref waves his arms after a KO. That said, Team AJ is trying to avoid a 2018 clash with Wilder. It sux. But it kinda is what it is at this point. Hope neither loses before the fight happens. Because this is a fight that boxing absolutely needs.

That is all im saying here. All Joshua has said is that he isnt bothered about face offs when there isnt a fight signed. Whats wrong with that? Its not like this has cime out of nowhere just for Wilder, he has always been like that.

Its the fight that matters not this bs. The fight will be made behind the scenes, they aren't going to hammer out negotiations in the ring after the fight ffs.

[Tom Cruise]

Look at this fan boy rhetoric above me. Why is some much time being spent talking about meaningless BS like who took this fight or that fight??? Bottom line is Wilder has been calling out aj for years. In fact, this fight could have happened on the 4th of this month. They both just recently fought weeks apart and Wilder instantly called Joshua out. In fact, he called him out multiple times, and Wilder vs Joshua became the hottest fight talked about in boxing. Since then we've seen hearn run to the media repeatedly to talk about being a star, purse, Whyte, wiping front to back, blah blah blah. Not ONCE does he ever mention negotiating with team Wilder nor what they consider fair to make the fight. Then Wilder's manager let's it be known that hearn hasnt even tried to negotiate the fight. Even though hearn came back hurling insults...he never once denied what the manager said.

Lets also not act like this Joshua vs Parker fight isn't happening because aj is ducking Wilder. Like I said, this Wilder vs Joshua was/is the fight boxing has wanted since November. Somehow we get Joshua vs Parker. Parker is seen as nothing more than a belt holder. He not popular, and doesn't generate a quarter of the viewership Wilder does. Somehow him holding a press conference in new Zealand about Joshua having a glass chin has aj so fired up that he's gonna give him a title shot, put him on ppv, and gaurantee him a career high multi million dollar payday. Wilder was there calling him out the entire time, and also talked about his glassy chin. But I guess when it's said in New Zealand the world takes notice. Lol. Joshua is ducking Wilder and it's impossible to say otherwise without looking absolutely ridiculous.

Wilder has been calling AJ out for about 4 months or however long its been since he fought Stiverne.

Wilder tells all his fans that its been years and they swallow it like its gospel.

If it were solely a matter of AJ not wanting an in-ring confrontation in a post fight format, most of what you’ve been saying on this thread would be valid. I don’t think the average semi-knowledgeable fight fan would take issue with that. Its not wanting the in-ring confrontation, ALONG with everything else Team AJ has done to indicate they would prefer to fight Wilder later rather than sooner that folks are having an issue with.
