Comments Thread For: Hearn: Luis Ortiz Was The First Name Anthony Joshua Gave Me

[Boksfan]

Is Ortiz gonna duck? Beyonce Wildher style?

[NahMean]

Hope he is and SERIOUSLY hope AJ forces Hearn to offer Ortiz enough to make it happen!

Hearn today on IFL interview confirmed who ever fights AJ will get the same 6.5mil that was in the pot for Miller. FYI Ortiz made 400k against Wilder so money isn’t a issue

Isn’t it odd that King Kong’s twitter handle is silent? I mean close to 20 fighters have said on twitter they are willing to step in and fight AJ but nothing from Ortiz even though he’s their #1 choice. This is the same twitter handle that disses AJ and calls him a duck when he has a fight and opponent lined up.. hmmm

Well he doesn't have to raise his arm if he's already their first choice…

Also why wasn't Ortiz the first name Joshua gave Hearn before the Miller fight was signed? They'd rather fight a 40 year-old man on short notice.

With those tickets sold Ortiz is the only name that'll keep those fans interested.

Some of the best fights have happened when an opponent steps in on short notice. Miller can stay at home eating his tainted cheeseburgers.

I agree. That's why i'm skeptical that he will take the fight on June 1.

Great replacement if Ortiz can get fight ready. If this actually happens Joshua will have my respect again.

Yea just stay silent, that’s clever.. it proves you want the fight. You Wilder fans already making excuses.. I thought he’s the boogeyman?? The way Wilder fans talk about this guy you’d think even with 1 days notice he’ll KO AJ in 1 round.

[Motorcity Cobra]

First on the list of available fighters he wont fight

But seriously that fight isn't happening because Hearn is coming at Ortiz with a multi fight deal. Being a voluntary I can understand a rematch clause tho.

I got Joshua, but Ortíz is a live dog. Stranger upsets have happened. Hope this one gets made. Could be Luis’s last shot at the big time.
