    It would still be an unknown before the fight. Joshua would be an even bigger favourite if he was American you would think, and the fight would definitely be America.

    Wilder would be forced to accept a 8 million flat offer

      Loaded question

      The fight may not even happen.

      With a Nigerian mother and Nigerian American father, a 6'5 240lb Antoine Joshua (his father is already a big man in his own right) would've played DE/LB/TE for some school in the SEC and likely finishing his rookie contract in the NFL (or simply moved with whatever he ended up in school with).

      Deontay Wilder likely still finds his way to boxing, but his future would hinge solely on what part of the UK his family had settled in and how he'd be moved in the UK with British Super Heavyweight David Price casting his shadow over Wilder's 2008 Olympics (with his style also drastically affected by what British fighters he ended up emulating and how the British trainer who found him would go about working with Wilder and all of his length/speed/athleticism).

        AJ would just be another prospect making $2 million per fight, instead of being Unified HW Champion making $20 Million per fight...

        Cause few people in US actually care about Boxing.

          Anthony Joshua was basically built from his debut pro fight on Sky Sports, with the to go to building on PPV coming at a good time too.

          When has HBO, or anyone for that matter, built a fighter up entirely on TV (Showtime was basically on board for when Andre Ward went from top prospect to division king, so will credit them there)?

          The proposed question was for both situations to be completely switched, not simply taking the good, lol.
