There's no reason Wilder can't fight AJ next. None.

    Just like there was no reason for AJ to not fight Wilder last year, yet he ended up fighting Povetkin. Wilder has unfinished business with Fury and he's trying to prove he truly is better than Tyson. That puts AJ on the sidelines for now, but he'll get his shot eventually.

      Getting pretty sick of all these Americans allowing Deyonce to dodge a fight for undisputed to take less money against Fury.

      'where was this offer before?'
      'its too late, Fury must be next'

      ...are the latest BS excuses in a long line of them.

      I'm sick of the excuses. I just want to see the fight. The Wilder nuthuggers used to say this, but now they don't?

      Deyonce is the biggest ducker in boxing, he's a disgrace to American heavyweight boxing. There is NOTHING stopping Deyonce taking this fight unless he is on a Haymon slave contract

      Haymon is keeping that WBC belt in America for as long as he can because when it leaves it will not be in American hands for 10 years as there are no great HWs coming through.

      Quack quack.

        I just watched Fury's interview on BT Sport. He stated that he thinks he'll fight in the UK in April and then hopefully Wilder if he'll have the fight.

        So I guess Wilder is free in April.

          If that is true then Wilder should make the Joshua fight

            Wilder vs. Fury did respectable numbers, but nothing special. However, in the aftermath, the fight went viral and a lot of people who normally wouldn't care about a boxing match want to see a rematch. Those people don't know Joshua exists and don't understand the multitude of world titles. They just know Wilder had the belt, Fury had the lineage, they fought to a draw, and they want a winner.

            I understand why fans in the UK want to see Joshua fight Wilder or Fury instead of Whyte. But for the fans in the US, Wilder vs Fury is the fight they want to see next.

            And there's no sense in tainting an undisputed fight by not first clearing up who is better between Wilder and Fury. More people thought Fury won than thought Wilder won. That's not much of an "undisputed" fight if you don't go clear the dispute first.

              AJ don't even want to be in the same building with Wilder what makes you think he will go into the ring with him?

                  Hearns confirmed they have made percentage offers, two fight offers, etc. No response from Beyoncé team.

                    If this report is true, if Fury fights a homecoming fight in Manchester in April, it changes things:

                    'I'd like a homecoming fight in April, maybe in Manchester or somewhere in the UK and then I'd like to fight Wilder again but if not, then just Wilder. And if not Wilder, I'll just have the homecoming fight,' he told BT Sport

                    'I'm hopefully going to get out in April again, hopefully I'll get the Wilder rematch. But if not then I'll be out in April anyway, I'm just going to keep busy. I'm enjoying myself, I'm 30 years old.


                    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/bo...r-rematch.html

                    To me, this sounds like Fury wants to fight next in Manchester in April. He is hoping it could be Wilder, yet realizes that the rematch makes the most money in Vegas.

                    That, or he is hoping the AJ vs Wilder fate can actually be made before he'd do a rematch, and be decisive enough to rule out a rematch either way, thereby leaving him a clear shot at the winners.

                    But, that is neither here nor there.

                    If Fury fights someone else not named Wilder or Joshua in April, I think it is incumbent upon Wilder to accept any offer that is at least 55/45 to fight in Wembley April 13th. Apparently, such an offer is already on the table.

                      Hey, if Fury doesn't want it next Wilder should fight AJ no doubt about it.
