[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder has serious doubts that Anthony Joshua will go foward with a rematch against Andy Ruiz - despite Joshua's promoter announcing on Tuesday that a rematch will take place between Joshua and Ruiz.

Anthony Joshua has been exposed.

Wilder isn’t wrong.

It’s all supposition. On the night, for reasons that will certainly never be made public, Joshua was substandard.

LOL. What the hell would the ducker know? Maybe Ruiz had baby oil on him or had used some Mexican gypsy black magic, Maybe Joshua had a broken arm before the fight like Wilder had even though Wilders broken arm was fixed in 1 day.

Wilder should of gambled on himself instead of ****ting himself.

When I read the title I thought this Wilder has got so much to say now. He has been silent as a mouse this year in regards to Joshua. However, I have to grudgingly agree with him. Joshua showed all the signs of someone that didn’t want to continue. Wilder actually broke it down perfectly in terms of him not coming forward, mental frailties etc. Maybe Wilder’s brain is big enough to fit a spaceship inside after all. I didn’t believe him when he first said it but now I do.

Wilderlites im staying in my lane the heavyweight division is yours. I’m taking my pom-poms to the Welterweight division which we have absolutely nobody but I like Spence

True ... wilder faced breezle in his 43 fight while Joshua faced him in his 17th while he was undefeated

Maybe they should have given Joshua 38 tune ups before stepping up

[Brainboxz]

something definitely went wrong prior to the fight... soon be exposed

Idk that Eddie put pressure on him.

I suspect DAZN put pressure on him cuz DAZN was dangling a big multifight offer in front of Joshua that probably looks similar to the one Canelo got if Joshua can become a US draw. The money for DAZN is in the US. Matchroom makes money off of Joshua if he fights in the UK or the US or the f#cking moon.

People forget Matchroom & DAZN got a deal that doesn't include Joshua. Joshua has his own deal with DAZN & he was likely gonna get & still may get a nice sexy offer when his current deal is over after the Ruiz rematch if the result is more favorable for Joshua next time around.

I also suspect Wilder himself put pressure on Joshua via his impressive W & seemingly locking in Ortiz & Fury as opponents in the coming months that limits Joshua's options. Specifically I think that viral Breazeale KO pressured Joshua into walking right into the hail storm of Ruiz's shots when he thought he could end the night after he dropped Ruiz. That ultimately decided the fight even if it took 4 more rounds to print the receipt.
