-Joshua said he prefers Wilder over Fury since he wants to all the belts

-Ready to fight Wilder on April 13 and isn't interested in Fury since he has no belt and he doesn't give a damn about no lineal title since no one told him about lineal titles when he started in boxing

-Said Wilder/Fury fought to a draw and he wouldn't want to retain his belts that way and prefers to just stop his opponents

-Doesn't want to get to the he say, she say, with Deontay Wilder and just wants the fight to happen

Some good stuff from Joshua. Loved that he said F all this PR stuff and let loose.

Does it mean Joshua gets Wilder or Fury next? No, but I'm confident he will force the issue and force Hearn to make the fight without trying to win the PR battle.

I felt like this was just a way to get joshua a following in the states. I mean usually eddie talks for him but now that's it's clear that he will have to fight wilder he needs eyeballs in the states or will be missingout on some serious dough. He needs some fights in the states ASAP.

He will fight in the states in 2019 for sure. Whether it be against Wilder or not, he will fight here once next year. Hearn will need it to satisfy DAZN and Joshua will need to build his name stateside. I mean the offer Hearn is or was going to offer Wilder was a two fight deal with one fight taking place in the UK, and the other in the states.

This was good for Joshua but I think he was on first take to promote him being on the broadcast of the Canelo fight on Saturday night.

Interview as SH#T why does Max Kellerman act like a Casual when he is on ESPN First Take, I don't expect anything better from Stephen A, he don't know SH#T about boxing but Max is disappointing when boxing people come on their SHOW he just suck up

Max said AJ is the biggest star in boxing? WHAT?

SOFT Interview! A lot of ASS Kissing basically! Max said he was the biggest star in boxing and Canelo was a close second or something like that. Waiting for somebody to upload it on youtube

Good interview. AJ has called Wilder out again, this time on live US TV. If Wilder rematches Fury now it will go down as a duck seeing as the AJ fight is for undisputed and more money.

Surely the fight will happen, might not be next but it will definitely happen. It takes two to tangle. This era will definitely witness an undisputed match up that will end in a KO.
Exciting days ahead.

He is the biggest star in boxing, he has nearly double the instagram following of Canelo who is the second biggest and 5 times the following of the biggest US star Wilder. How should he of been introduced?

Not necessarily true if Fury beats Wilder next. Then no guarantee Fury/Joshua ends in a KO. I actually think there is a solid chance Wilder/Joshua go the full 12 as both will be cagey and hesitant, but eventually one will go for it and the other probably will be put out.
