    Is AJ Really a Diva??

    Man, I dunno. What's up with all this "He prefers to have the fight in Wembley" and "we can't be near the GGG/Canelo fight is it happens" and "they can't have more than three face offs before the fight" that Eddie Hearns is woofing?? He's make AJ sound soft AF.

    In all candor, he seems like he is already mentally beat. He don't want it, but knows he has to take it, and thus is going out his way.

    Some might say it's perception, but perception is reality in this game. AJ don't want this fight.

    This thread is terrible, AJ has never ducked anybody. If Hearn didn't want Joshua to fight Wilder than why would he be sending him offers? Hopefully Wilder will sign the contract so we can see the fight.

      He proved he was a diva when he banned Wilder from entering the ring post fight

          LOL yea this is the first thing I thought of myself. That was just weird with how Joshua worked that in there.

          I mean but w/e. You can't be a 8 digit fighter & not be a lil bit of a diva. It comes with the territory. Fighters historically have rarely made 8 digits for one nights work let alone get that every time out like Joshua likely will from here out or as long as he's relevant anyway. You can't NOT let that go to your head & take advantage of certain things fighters usually don't get to take advantage of.

          Sh^t it'd be weird if you didn't turn a lil diva-ish upon making $10M+ a fight. And honestly its probably lower than 8 digits that puts you in the diva category, but its a safe bet 8 digits for sure extends you past the point of a diva.

            I don't think they can use it as Deas said the fight can be anywhere between september and november

              of course he's a diva. His entire pro career has been manufactured. Anthony Joshua isn't a boxer, he's a brand. He always has been and the UK has eaten it up. Guy has a great PR campaign no doubt.

                If the fight happens then clearly AJ wanted the fight.He makes huge money every fight fighting guys not named Wilder so he sure doesn't need to fight Wilder. Of course he wants the fight at home just like Wilder does. Face offs are a waste of time and three face offs is probably two to many. You are trying so hard to make AJ soft, scared and mentally beat but it's just wishful thinking. AJ is a real champ and if the fight happens he will be the betting favorite to win.

                  I dont think so, more like he aint a sucker and wants to get paid all he can. Why will be bow and bend to Wilders demands? when AJ commands the lionshare of the turnout and buys which = he is the a side and should demand the lionshare of the purse and the perks of being A-side.
