    Who is Joshua hiding from?

        Why are people so sure that he is going to retire so soon? If Wilder really wanted, he could keep fighting for another FO' HUNNIT YEARZ!

                I don’t think he’ll be one of those guys that bounces right away. He seems to like fighting so I think he’ll fight 4-5 more years but maybe become a stepping stone.
                There's no way he won't have a rematch clause.

                And presumably Brezeale will be nailed on for a shot at Fury. Or be heading to court.

                  Everybody know Wilder and Fury agreed to a rematch right after the night of their first fight. What Hearn is doing now is trying to save face by making it look like if he were negotiating a deal on behalf of Joshua. Joshua don't want that smoke, and neither does Hearn. If 80 million can't get you in the ring, nothing will. That's why both Wilder and Fury ignore his claims, and openly state they're not actually negotiating with Hearn. The rematch is all but set.

                    You can make an argument that it was Joshuas fault that the wilder fight didn't happen. I wouldn't agree but you can make an argument

                    To say he's hiding from Fury is absurd, he would have got shat on for trying to fight fury after the sefari fight, wilder only got away with it because everyone knows wilders level.

                    Wilder v Fury was a cherry pick gone wrong, nothing more. Prior to that fight everyone, EVERYONE thought Fury was 2-3 fights and 18 months away from being back to his best.

                    They were probably right, he still beat wilder doe

                      On topic, if he loses the rematch to Fury which is a coin toss, he is up schitts creek imo

                      OP is right in that he is 33 and fights a young mans style, did anyone else notice the pacing issues he was having against fury? He was missing a lot but he always does, and by the middle rounds he was breathing very heavily and plodding, he had a couple of bursts after that but I don't think many picked up on it.

                      If Fury beats him, Fury and Joshua will probably have another 2 fights taking us until mid 2020 for Wilder to get another crack at them, in which case he'll be .....35 and I think by then his best days will be done with

                      He basically has to win this fury fight so he can get the AJ fight NEXT
