    Meanwhile Wilder & Parker are willing to travel the world to defend their WORLD titles. Parker even traveled as the A side against Hughie

    Joshua is happy in his safe space. I just don't think this guy has the mentally of a great WORLD champion. Wilder & Parker are following in the steps of Ali.

    The Brits will defend him because they aren't used to having nice things. They're used to their champs coming overseas and getting mollywhopped. They want to hold onto this feeling forever. Which is understandable when you aren't used to being the best.
    Yeah thats all fine and dandy except Joshua is the A side no matter where he fights and can make more money in the UK then anywhere in the world. What's it matter if he ever fights here, he's already more popular then our world champion will ever be.

      Wilder is ducking Whyte, FACTS. You fangirls looking for EXCUSES for Wilder to cherry pick. Wilder is a COWARD, protected by WBC, the biggest FRAUD in boxing. All EXCUSES, no BALLS.

                Joshua is the A side of the HW division, fighters have to come to him, not the other way around.

                Hearn and Joshua will decide where they want to fight and I'm sure the money will be key. That's just how it is for the time being.

                  Canelo and Floyd Mayweather are super rare exceptions to the rules, do you really think its fair that the majority of AJ fans have to travel across the world just to see him fight in person?
                  I'd get your point If boxing in the US would equal a bigger coverage of AJ career and more cash on him, but If anything it would prevent PPV's and thus result in him losing cash.

                  No smart promoter is gonna take AJ away from Britain when nearly every fight he can put on will do 600 plus thousand PPV buys that and he probably can fill out a 80 thousand stadium for any fight.
                  90k AJ vs. Klitschko = £8 million gate

                  14k Calzaghe vs. Hopkins = $11 mil

                  Calzaghe vs. Hopkins was a bigger fight that AJ vs. Wilder now?
