    The bottom line in all this for Hearn is not to piss the UK casual market of.

    Wilder vs Fury has aroused curiosity and pricked the conscience of this market for the first time.

    The so-called " Well, Wilder and Fury got it on, why not Aj? "

    The Whyte fight will (for now at least ) appease the masses of the casual base and Hearn fully knows it.

    How it transpires long term is another matter altogether.

        It’s going to be Miller in New York. AJ fights need 3/4 months to promote and hype. So it makes sense that it would be around June.

          I doubt it’s whyte. They offered Whyte £4m, when he made more than that in his last fight. Whyte can make his own path and fight Breazeale next. He already had more PPV than even Wilder.

            Luis Ortiz would take the fight, and is a top 5 guy.

                  Wilders 22nd fight was Owen Beck !!!!! a guy who had lost his last six and the yanks lapped it up as a brilliant fight that made Wilder number one in the division.

                  So basically whatever Whyte, Fury or Joshua do they can never be as bad as Wilder .

                  Go check his record I'm not making this up Wilder really is that bad.
                  Why is AJ avoiding him then?

                  Im not a wilder fan, I just want to see AJ fighting the top guys - wilder and Fury.

                    AJ fights need 3/4 month to cater for his steroid/Hgh cycle.

                      I don't make the rankings. You figure it out. Must be some reason Joshua doesn't want to fight him, or even mention him as a potential opponent.
