I agree clear the waste before the actual talent.

Pulev is up next for mandos I believe. Let Usyk get acclimated first anyway.

LmMFao.....

Then there’s the rematch and a Dillyan Whyte mandatory.... I can see AJ having to vacate at some point.

Wilder is a lower risk for a higher reward than Usyk. So yes, they are obviously going to want him first.

Anthony Joshua will knock out deontayduckus and that is why deontayduckus and the matchmakers at Protecting Boxing Cowards will never allow this fight to happen unless the WeBeCorrupt make it a mandatory....I wouldn't be surprised if deontayduckus wilderquackus quits on his stool against AJ

Savage lol.

Interesting that Hearn is making noises now that is making Joshua/Wilder very much more likely than before.

He sounds like he's already conceeded that the fight will be made on 60/40, and pretty much thrown it over to Joshua on whether he'll take 50/50, and also that the fight can be on ESPN as Joshua is on a fight-by-fight basis with DAZN and they'll go where the money is.

Not sure how Showtime/Fox fits in that as wasn't mentioned, but it hints that if ESPN shows the money and Wilder will go there too, then its on. Or is it trying to hijack Fury now he's over at ESPN ? If Hearn is already signalling that ESPN is fine for Joshua, and that the concept of 50/50 isn't off the table - doesn't that set up Joshua/Fury ? Can't see Fury saying no to 50/50.

Don't know how a Fury/Joshua ppv would stack up vs a Wilder/Joshua ppv vs a Fury/Wilder ppv though - you guys in the US would have to advise on the relative worth of those fights (all this assuming its ppv and not ESPN+).

Joshua is just keeping the titles warm for the real players at heavyweight.

Joshua knocks Fury Wilder and Usyk out. Whyte is a threat. Wilder will never ever fight either AJ or Whyte.
He will, however, have their names in his mouth 24/7.

I do like how everyone now knows he is a phoney. It is unfortunate that he wont fight but at least people now see his as the coward ducker he is.
