guys can we please understand how boxing works so we can save time? joshua would have had to fight on wilders card meaning wilder was the lead promoter meaning wilder had control over picking all the officials. this crucial aspect and dynamic plays out over and over again in boxing. joshua vs wilder and joshua vs miller are not the same dynamic at all.
in joshua vs miller joshua has all that control still. giving up that control is the number one way to lose in boxing(and hurt future earnings) and once you have it you never ever want to do get rid of it and put yourself at risk. same reason wilder rejected a career high to fight joshua. he didnt want to give up that control(that control paid off vs fury). look at guys like ward and canelo. they never gave it up and they literally can't lose. the one time canelo did give it up...loss
Good point. Fighting on Wilder's card ended up working against Fury when the scores came in.
