This is the biggest joke ever! And watch Wilder fighting only a week after Wlad and Fury fight for the real championship try and call them out after beating a non top 50 heavy in Arreola for a unification match making it 5 fights without facing a mandatory or a top 10 contender. FRAUD
It's a real marquee matchup! Who's next, Bronco Billy Wright? Christ, at least Joshua's fighting somebody with a pulse.
Let's just hope Arreola doesn't end up Like Jerry Quarry. The man has been shot for his last 4-5 fights he can't even beat journeyman. Wilder has NO SHAME
True. I was thinking more from the perspective that Wilder's team is coming off like they'll never fight Povetkin at all because of the positive test, even if he tests clean in the future.
They can't! And it's not about them this is ridiculous. Arreola does not deserve a shot at the title. Neither did Molina or Duhaupas. They'll try and spin it that it's short notice etc etc there are ten guys better and more deserving right now than Arreola. Take Jennings he tweeted few weeks ago he's take it. At least he lost to Wlad and Ortiz not Kassi and Kauffman. Speaking of Ortiz he would take it too. This is beyond BAD
I was briefly a fan of Wilder. I wanted to see him do big things and stupidly thought he could help put boxing back on the map here in the states. Then he won a belt and just sort of stalled. This is a pathetic match up even his own fans would be hard pressed to defend.
That's why even though I'm here in the states I root for the crazy gypsey from across the pond "There's only ONE TYSON FURY"!!!
He had a chance to really win people over by choosing a good opponent here. A lot of people(even detractors) were on his side for once and he goes and spits in the fans faces by taking this **** fight. There's no defending this. There are TONS of better fighters who aren't doing anything and would have taken the fight in a heart beat. Jennings, Washington, Ortiz, Ustinov(that was rumored too and honestly wouldn't have been a terrible fight) etc. Arreola is shot to bits and doesn't have a decisive win in almost 4 years.
