Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Prefers Wilder Fight First, Then Usyk Defense

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

Funny, but with that name what else could be expected from a pea brained bird?

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

He is, and I don't mean it in much disrespect, my gripe is it took so long to challenge himself. Both times were very close, luck and hate to say it payment played a roll. However, AJ has Fury ability but more power behind those punches. Seen Wilder buzzed, AJ lands a KO counter early.

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+).

This is why I say clear the waste, Wilder has power, that's it. He is American though. Fury was robbed but did his part. If AJ can put him to sleep here it sells big time. I mean KOing the husband of some ****** lady with a reality show. You get those slobs and real fans like me ready to see the best fight the best.

AJ is the realist player in the division. Deontay is, well, a complete Donkey and a delusional coward who can't box for shlt. He'll be taken care of again very soon now, just like Fury took care of the idiot.

Lmao this clown apparently had Wembley booked in April and the Wilder fight HAD to be made. But ends up traveling to New York to fight the C side opposition.

All it takes is one! I just hope Wilder can get to at least 230! He has to learn how work in a clinch, inside body work! Too light in the azz right now!

Anthony Joshua Prefers Wilder Fight First

suuuuure ya do

AJ prefers to talk about Wilder much more than fight him

Usyk, is more dangerous..... than Wilder ?

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

All he has to do is follow the rotation, and fight his voluntaries when free to.

The Wilder fight doesn't happen, Joshua fights Pulev next (owed IBF mandatory), has a voluntary period (where he can fight Usyk), a fight against the winner of the WBA's 4-man box off, and then another voluntary period before the IBF calls again (where he could freely fight Fury).

The Wilder fight happens, and we see that next, likely a rematch (IBF won't object), the IBF mandatory against Pulev, a likely voluntary period (to fight Usyk), the WBA mandatory, likely the WBC mandatory against Whyte, and another voluntary period before the next IBF mandatory.
