Never seen wilder fight and didn't see the call out to AJ

Never heard of him before AJ made him famous by calling him out

Anyway isn't this Povetkin pubber the mandatory number 1 contender?

Povetkin could've been postponed if Joshua agreed to fight Wilder, but he didn't want to.

[Ach]

Not sure that's how being number 1 contender works

So you admit the fight isn't happening because of Joshua and not Wilder?

[Ach]

Couldn't care less tbh

I'm just bored.

Whens Britians best fighter Khan fighting next?

Good to see Wilder and Fury are man enough to face each other.

Meanwhile Joshua is cowering.

Joshua is cowering ............. by sending Wilder a contract he didn't sign and fighting Povetkin because he got called on his mandatory?

Ok then.

If Wilder wants the fight all he has to do is sign the contract on his desk and mail it back.

f**k Joshua init

I've already debunked this argument on the last page. Joshua offered Wilder $10 to $15 million flat fee with no PPV or gate money or a 20% purse. For the sake of comparison, he even gave Joseph Parker 33%. On the other hand, Wilder offered Joshua $50 million and he declined.

I don't even like Wilder, but this isn't something that's debatable. It's common knowledge the fight didn't happen because of Hearn and Joshua.

Its very debatable, do you know why? .............. because Wilder put out a tweet to the whole world stating "I accept the terms".

He then reneged, your description is negotiation semantics, Joshua wants to fight in the UK, that is his right, it wasn't just a simple "We offer you $50m" it was telling him to concede all his rights, fight in the US and they don't even have $50m, yes they'd generate it at fight time but they didn't have it up front, on top of everything else, Hearn flew to America for a meeting with them to discuss the $50m offer and Finkel told him "No we're not going to have the meeting, just sign the contract" !!!??........... gtfo.

Deontay on the other hand gave a stated acceptance of the offer Hearn sent him which he then didn't sign.

What do you call that then?

[Ach]

I call that Wilder running

They're both avoiding each other.

Can't blame them really. It's a fight everyone wants to see, and that's not going to change. They can each afford to have a couple more fights, make some more money, and keep it brewing.

Except Fury is the best HW and can school anyone on his day.

If Wilder loses to him the Joshua fight is gone but he's willing to risk it nonetheless like a true champion.

Wilder wants to fight the best, Joshua doesn't.

[Marsbar100]

Povetkin is no forgeone conclusion though dangerous fighter

Did you watch his last fight?

I can't wait to see him in there with a puncher like Wilder or Joshua, its no guarantee but I think Wilder is going to ruin him.

As for Joshua if he doesn't want to fight Wilder why did he send him a contract to sign with a time, place and date?

Its Wilder who won't sign it because he went back on his word and is now holding out for more money.

............ If Joshua doesn't want to fight tough opposition how come he's fought Wlad, Whyte, Povetkin etc nobody on Joshua's calendar since Wlad has been or will be easy opposition.

After Povetkin he's going for either Whyte, Fury or Wilder.

[Jedi]

Whyte and Povetkin = "tough fights"

lmao

[Va-Va-Voom]

Joshua and Hearn have been playing games with Wilder for months now.

I stopped following the saga because I got tired of their bullshit. It's clear they are trying to put the fight off for as long as possible.
