Nah, AJ isn't the type to fake an injury. :wave: Wilder gets injured on a semi-annual basis - I have faith he's capable of breaking a hand, or Joshua will tear a muscle or some crap.

sould664 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Re: Wilder accepts Joshua's UK offer? Theyre talking about signing it, but not when it will take place? Really can't see this being either fighters next fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, now. AJ may want this fight, but there's no way Hearn wants it to happen for at least another year. Hard to say what Haymon is thinking, but we know he hates taking any chances.

AJ may want this fight, but there's no way Hearn wants it to happen for at least another year. . I think he does - there's a squillion quid for the Wilder fight whenever it happens, there's a rematch clause in case he wins, Povetkin is still gonna be the mandatory, Fury will in theory be somewhere near sharp by then, and worst-case scenario, Joshua can have a homecoming fight against Bellew, Price, any other buffoon of choice, and sell out a stadium. Hearn can't lose either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearn can't lose either way. Well, there IS always the lucrative trilogy. - But odds are that right now, Wilder would win the first two fights, blowing that out of the water. AJ is still improving. Hearn knows this. If he can stall for at least another year, things will go much more his way. Plus, AJ can make almost as much money fighting more no-hopers, the British fans are that disillusional. And yes, I realize that "disillusional" is not actually a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that you've clambered back onto the Wilder bandwagon - he probably needed you after being lucky to survive against the 100-year-old Cuban.

Clearly the odds right now are all in favour of Joshua ;-) AJ is still improving. Hearn knows this. If he can stall for at least another year, things will go much more his way.

Back to backing Wilder relentlessly on this one then? :haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, AJ can make almost as much money fighting more no-hopers Which is exactly why the fight can go ahead - one loss, two losses, makes no difference.
