Yes or No: Does Joshua vs Wilder happen on April 13th at Wembley?

[Rip Chudd]

Nope, it'll be AJ vs Whyte after Whyte rematches Chisora. I also don't think the Whyte vs Ortiz fight will happen as Eddie won't want to risk Whyte losing

Virtually no chance it happens in April.

Joshua's Top 5 Most Likely April Opponents:

1)Whyte, assuming he wins in Dec.
2)The guy who beats Whyte, if Whyte were to get beat in Dec.
3)Big Baby
4)Some random mando that gets pushed upon Joshua
5)Tyson Fury, if he beats Wilder
6)Wilder, if he beats Fury

Fury is fighting Wilder again if he wins, because of the rematch clause. I'd say Wilder is likelier to get the April 13th date than Fury.

No way, especially with the rumours that Wilder is tied into a rematch with Fury win or lose.

He’ll fight Whyte. But they’ll be sure to say how hard they tried to get wilder.

They offered to make the AJ/Wilder deal BEFORE he faces Fury and still you *****es claim it's Eddie stalling that matchup. Wilder's team has a long history of making decisions to protect him, and clearly that is continuing.

Wilder has 40 fights yet has only faced 1 credible opponent (of sorts) and he ducked the long reigning champion, Klitschko with help from his promoter. Anthony Joshua (and Tyson Fury) took that fight and when AJ was less than 20 fights into his career too. How is he afraid or being kept away from the dangerous challenges? the guy has all the belts except Wilder's WBC belt, the one that the previous champion only had to beat Chris Arreola to take home with him lol

also, Povetkin > Ortiz

Whyte seems cosy with the WBC judging by his social media. The WBC need a way out of this mess so will get mandating: Wilder gets Breazeale / AJ in 1st half of year and Whyte / AJ in the 2nd half of the year. Wilder won't be able to put of his WBC mandatories if he avoids AJ. So as much as I would like to see Whyte v Wilder, Wilder loses to AJ before then.

The WBC are eating out of Team Wilder hands. They tell the WBC who gets mandated not the other way round. If he doesn’t fight Breazeale next nothing would happen to him, anyone going through the WBC route is wasting his time.

[S.W.F.C]

If Fury beats him then no. There's gonna be a rematch clause in there, not sure if it applies for Fury losing as well.

[Ray*]

No, they've sent wilder a deal and team wilder won't even meet. Wtf else are they meant to do? The fights not happening

They offered 50m dollars without wanting to hold a meeting, they were offered multiple deals and they still refuse to meet. But it’s only one side that doesn’t want the fight according to these fanatics. I think they need to adultnapp all of them and force them into a room. All these no meeting rubbish is a way of not wanting the fight IMHO. Meet up and work out a deal, if the deal doesn’t happen then we know at least you tried to work something out.

No because Wildher gives Fury a rematch, war Beyonce!

6)Wilder, if he beats Fury

I'll go with random mando.

The IBF will order the winner of Pulev/Fury at the end of the year. If they don't and order it after April, it will be going on 2 years since their last mandatory.
