Will AJ have the balls to go to THE FIGHT and challenge the winner like a man?? Even the loser of the fight can beat AJ the guy got beaten like a cowardly dog by Ruiz in NY

UK fans should feel disrespected but there just isn’t enough money in the UK for big fights. You can talk all day about 50K fans packing a stadium but that means absolutely nothing it’s all about the live gate.

Eddie Hearn is a nationalist....he openly said he wants fury to win because he’s a Brit. Joshua said he wants to help fury because he’s a Brit. Any american signed to Matchroom you might want to rethink signing with a promotional outfit that openly spews nationalism and obviously doesnt respect you based on national origin.

"Its going to take someone from their side lose a bit of ego and make the call"

Oh its ego now oh ok

It’s that strong sense of entitlement he has

Hearn is doing a lot of talking about Wilder vs. Fury II. Someone should tell him that Mikey Garcia is fighting his 1st fight on DAZN in less than 2 weeks!

I can't stand Hearn but your post and people like you cause lots of problems. I have been right behind Wilders case all the way as I know it's he who wanted the fight with Joshua but didn't rightly like the way he was being shafted.Many times I want a fellow from another country to win and many,many times they have been American as they have great characters and great fighters.There is nothing wrong with fans or anybody shouting up for their countrymen.The chant of USA ,USA although irritating has never been such a problem on my many visits to us to watch fights. Your post is silly get a grip!

You’ll get one response.....and this should be quite obvious but I see it is not....you are a fan. You’re not a manger, advisor, promoter, matchmaker, network executive or any of the like that directly affects a boxer’s career. Therefore your nationalism really doesn’t concern me. When someone handles, or mishandles, a fighters career while at the same time openly saying he favours fighters of his own nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, creed, colour etc etc that dents ones credibility and sense of fair play. Why would Wilder EVER have anything to do with Hearn after he had said what he said? The man has openly stated numerous times that he favours British fighters over American ones....yet he wants nothing more than to make it big in America and wants American talent specifically from PBC to sign with him.
But, young lad, if you are unable to see the (il)logic here then I got nothing for yas

By the way, it’s funny how Hearn does the Jedi mind trick to make it sound like it’s all Fury’s fault when Hearn himself took a powder and left the uk for greener pastures in the USA and Saudi. Remind me again when the last time joshua has a fight in the uk? Remind me again where Hearn said he wanted to match the winner of wilder v fury at? Remind me again how many shows sky had prior to hearn signing with dazn? Remind me again where the biggest Matchroom fights have taken place post the Matchroom signing?

Eddy leaves out the juicy details, like that 22 foot ring. He would have got laughed out of town if he tried to build that thing in America. He meddles and scams too much to trust.
