He's the biggest draw in Heavyweight boxing. Why the **** wouldn't his Promoter point out what his preferences are? Especially when they are important.
If you ask the New England Patriots where they want to play their playoff football, they sure as **** won't say on the road, will they? Home field. Basic ****.Comment

That's A side being A side.. Fight in wembley makes sense because of the capacity and numbers it pulled for AJ-Wlad
It is a no brained that they don't want to coincide with Canelo-GGG rematch date as it affects the promotion and hype to their fight which in turn affects the numbers..
The face off condition if true is a bullshít one.. they'll promote this fight from London to Vegas, so the media want them to square off with each press conference..Comment

You realise this is a commercial consideration? If casual boxing fans have already dug deep to buy the Canelo/GGG fight they're far less likely to buy AJ/Wilder. So it makes sense to put some distance between the two.
This is a promoter seeking to maximise the revenue from the fight. It needs to be in the contract because, wrongly in my view, Wilder isn't incentivised to increase the revenue as he's on a flat fee.
As for the others, you can choose to describe the behaviour as 'Diva' 'A-side' or whatever positive, negative or neutral term you choose depending on your bias. If you were honest however you'd see that he's doing what many other boxers have done before and that there's good reasons for his actions which aren't dependent on perceived character flaws. Indeed it's likely most if not all of these stipulations haven't originated from Joshua in the first place.Comment
