    Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Skipped Fury Fight To Avoid 'Hard Questions'

    How did he skip it? He's literally been match fit for one fight since his comeback and that was against Wilder.

    And if I remember right, Fury/Warren offered to fight Wilder but Joshua didn't get any offer.

      He is saying he skipped coming to their fight but instead came 2 weeks later to a none heavyweight fight

        Wilder is right. Joshua should have been at the wilder fury fight to confront one of them or at the very least make them aware he is interested.

          Ah yes.

          Because sending Wilder contracts shows that he wasn't interested.

            Joshua is really an Uncle Tom, he cannot go to watch another boxing match which Hearns is not involved with. Big dumb fool, he should gone Fury vs Wilder to prove he wants it. AJ is becoming BS

              There's a contract for Wilder they say, that says everything Wilder needs to know.

                They've been sending offers with 2 way rematch and % split bedore the fight and Finkel said they'd meet with Hearn and I believe they have done, I'm pretty sure they're aware.

                Wilders been to 1 of AJ's fights and that was 2 years ago because he was paid as part of the comentators and couldn't be paid to come back. Does this mean he never wanted the fight?

                Plus the Parker unification this year was a way bigger fight in terms of more viewers, titles and revenue so all this biggest fight of the year is nonsense. Wilder wouldn't go because of Whyte and even made up a restaining order story which is not how the law works in the UK.
