Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I'm Ready To Face Wilder, I Want Undisputed

[Nusky]

As far as I can tell Joshua still didn't actually say Wilders name. Wilders like the Candyman to Joshua. This overgrown coward is a riot. I get more laughs outta this idiot than all the other fraud fighters combined

The title of this article is misleading. Joshua admits he isn't ready and will take his time before he fights the best of the division...

"I take it step by step and, by the time I get to unification, I will be ready. I'll knock them down one by one and, when the big boys are ready, I'll be ready to become the next undisputed champion of the world. I really want to make that happen."

To be fair to Joshua, aren’t there two Wilder Fury fights lined up for 2020? Might as well fight a mandatory whilst the others are tied up.

I certainly hope there aren't two fights lined up. Hopefully the results of the rematch will be very decisive.

Because come February Wilder won't be the WBC champ

[OldTerry]

AJ is alligned with DAZN, if Wilder won't make an offer to be on his PPV networks or fight on DAZN that is a clear duck.

Flip the thought. If AJ won't make an offer to Wilder to fight on a Fox PPV then it's a clear duck by AJ.

Dude I just answered it, sorry you couldn't understand a rhetorical question. The answer is there is no way to know because you don't know if AJ beats his opponents, Wilder beats his opponents or Wilder likes what he's being offered.

When did I blame Wilder for not fighting AJ next. "Surely you can't be blaming AJ for not fight Wilder next Wilders fighting Fury"

AJ has to fight the WBO mando by May I think so A) Wilder won't be ready and B) Unification trumps mando they can delay it like they tried with the WBA if they need.


One things for sure if Wilder isn't fighting on DAZN and isn't offering AJ fights the fight won't happen. Haymon has the contracts with Showtime and Fox, not Matchroom or AJ.

It's laughable you think AJ is going to send Wilder and offer to fight on his own network.

If what you are saying is that the problem is not with Joshua or Wilder but with the promoters. I'd agree with that.

That laser right from wilder stops joshua..the guy is petrified now of engaging after ruiz, he thinks he's fury with his boxing.

[Corelone]

All Wilder has to do is sign a flat fee, no rematch, three fight option, in London contract. AJ said 50 mil, Hearn said no. AJ said rematch in N.Y. Hearn said no. AJ knows he can babble all he wants, Hearn will fix it.

Should read: "I'm ready to retire!"

[markther]

If anyone thinks Wilder is afraid to fight Joshua, they are a damn fool and shouldn’t be on this boxing forum. Wilder isn’t afraid of anyone in this HW division, especially right now because he is over confident in himself and his power, maybe to a fault. Wilder believes he can knock out anybody much like Tyson did in his heyday.

And guess what, I don’t believe Joshua is afraid to fight Wilder either. He probably believes he has enough power for Wilder to respect him and he probably believes he is the better boxer.
