Wilder - AJ fight is going to happen

[*Makaveli*]

From the big man himself

After claiming his 41st victory with his 40th knockout and 20th inside the opening round, Wilder was asked about a unification clash with Britain's three-belt champion Joshua.

"It's going to happen, it will happen. I believe in all my heart it will happen. I don't want this to be a Lennox [Lewis] and [Rid****] Bowe situation, I definitely don't.

"The heavyweight division is so lit right know, it's on fire right now. I think it is our obligation, our duty to give the fans what they want.

"I always say how we've been trying, but it's going to come back around again and I think the next time it comes around the discussions, that deal we've been trying to make, something is going to get done.

So we are supposed to just ignore Ortiz being the ring and being promised the fight next?

Ortiz will be kicked to the side if it means a heavyweight unification.
Nothing will stop this fight from happening if both sides can agree to fight each other.

Right now would be a great time for Wilder to want this fight to happen.
Esp. Coming of such a great win.
He's full of confidence and he's definitely a confidence fighter.

He never said next just that its gonna happen
I think Wilder and AJ both want to fight.. It's the twats in suits that are causing the hold up

[Scopedog]

I hope so. I'd really like to believe that everyone has learned from the backlash they've taken over the course of the last year or so and is now ready to come together and actually work together to make it happen.

That said, it'd be foolish of me to hold my breath over that at this point.

[R_Walken]

Probably will

But will it happen when both are Prime / undefeated and hold all the straps or will it happen like most Mega fights a couple years late / both fighters on the slide and basically a final big payday before both fighters retire from the sport

If Ortiz rematches wilder and DOESNT punch him self out---easy night---ko win for Kong.


If chiken legs fights Stationary non-moving AJ = KO1 or 2 --wilder simply steps forward and lands the straight right on AJ---because his head is right there, Done. Just like Brazille------------------stand there= get hit.

Exactly on tee brother
Posters keep saying one or the other are ducking but in reality it’s all the fughin bureaucracy behind the scenes between promoters etc etc
But I think even the fighters are at the point of putting their foot down and imo , I think this fight will get done right after the AJ vs Ruiz fight
If not , oh well , they can both go Fugh themselves

[Eff Pandas]

Of course it will.

Next or next year. And hell even if one or both lose before it happens it'll still happen cuz it'll still be a big fight just not as big.
