Only the Casual fans will believe this, hardcore fans know that Hearn is going to put AJ in with Whyte.

Wilder vs Fury has ruined Hearn’s life hahaha, he’s absolutely wounded about it

Wilder-Fury definitely gave Hearn and Team AJ food for thought.. But it's also made AJ vs either Wilder or Fury much bigger both sides of the pond.

The Adonis Stevenson analogy is all wrong though. AJ is THE money man in boxing now, maybe Canelo as well, so he can get any fight he wants - just depends on if he's wiling to pay them. The belts for AJ just add to his credibility with casual fans. He'll be in the driving seat there for a while yet, regardless of what happens next fight for all...

the comparison isn't exact but I think it can be similar in the sense that, Stevenson was considered the man in the division after knocking out Dawson. He remained a star in Canada but regular boxing fans got tired of him and once Kovalev and ward faced each other, Stevenson became third fiddle. The hw division isn't very deep, so if wilder and fury face each other again and have another thriller while Joshua keeps facing lesser names, his relevance among real fans will dwindle.

what has joshua done to earn a shot vs wilder his best win is against an inactive washed up 41 year old coming of a loss

I discovered this about the WBC myself too. The WBC does not speak or talk directly. They should always try to mean what they say and say what they mean. Dubious WBC

Hearn sounding butthurt and a little desperate, AJ had the chance to fight Wilder, they blew it, now get back in line and be ready to loosen your purse strings

[STREET CLEANER]

They are going to offer Wilder another flat fee.

Fight Luis Ortiz. nobody wants to see a Dillian Shyte rematch.

Whyte vs AJ II is needed to confirm who is #3 heavy weight and who drops out of the top 10.

Agreed, is Whyte or wilder the real number #3 now. I’m not sure either

WILDER vs FURY 2 in the UK or VEGAS works for me.

Las Vegas and London seem to be the Only 2 places big enough for this event.
