Joshua offered Ortiz the fight in NY back in June but his camp declined the offer.
Look at the timeline of Tyson Fury and you tell me when Joshua was supposed to fight him?
28th November 2015 - Fury Beats Klitschko 8th April 2016 - Rematch with Klitschko scheduled for 9th July. Never happened. 24th June 2016 - Fury v Klitschko postponed because of ankle injury and a mysterious UKAD case 23rd September 2016 - Fight postponed again because Fury was medically unfit 12th October 2016 - Fury vacates titles 13th October 2016 - BBBofC suspends Fury's license. 12th April 2018 - Announces 3 fight deal with QBP before the end of 2019. 9th June 2018 - Fights Sefer Seferi 18th August 2018 - Fights Francesco Pianeta 18th August 2018 - Frank Warren confirms Wilder fight 1st December 2018 - Fights Wilder February 2019 - Announces 5 fight ESPN deal - to fight solely in the US 15th June 2019 - Fights Tom Schwarz 14th September 2019 - Fights Otto Wallin 4th October 2019 - Appears on WWE
So, please, tell me where in that 4 year period where Joshua was supposed to fight Fury.
I'll wait.
So not only has Joshua fought the guys you listed (You know, the ones Wilder hasn't) but the ones you then used as a comparator declined to fight or wasn't available to fight.
Wow that's some list of excuses. Wilders been in this game twice as long as Joshua, there are no excuses. Remember when finkel could of made wlad v wilder but said wilder was just a baby and there was no need to rush him? Yeah wilder had had over 30 fights at that point and was a champion.
From that moment on all it has been is excuse after excuse for why wilder hasn't fought a number of top heavies. It's never wilders fault there's always an excuse.
And then you get the likes of Joshua, fury, ruiz, they have all moved past him, they have all accomplished more and are all getting paid more.
IMO, AJ wants to fight and he wants to be an undisputed but Eddie is the road block for him. Wilder and his team knows this well and that is the reason he said they may never fight each other. And because of Eddie, Whyte couldn't get a fight with Wilder. Next we will see most Heavyweights fighting in their own stables.
I think AJ continues the route of the cautious Wlad Klit boxing school.
No idea what Hearn will plan for him...
Wilder will be in history books. The only heavyweight champ that dropped his opponent twice, even once in last round, and still happy not to lose the fight.

Just after the announcement of the result that Fury and Wilder drew, both seemed happy with the result and they didn't complain much. This is the reason why the rematch is taking place. Hopefully we can have a winner.
