    OK, so you’re saying no one can fight AJ in the UK unless they’ve headlined a card there, right?

    Keep that in mind when he announces his next fight.

    AJ vs Haye is still a bigger fight than AJ vs Parker. I think most boxing fans know who has the greater chance of winning that fight, its not Haye.

    WTF you talkin about ?
    Biggest fight in HW Boxing is AJ vs Fury. That will happen.

    Nah , Wilder called out Joshua as well. Joshua didn't even call out Wilder after he beat Tackam.

    Said the fight has to happen ...BUT... Then makes excuses about mandatories when he just got one out of the way..

    To the rational , unbiased observer , its clear who wants this fight and who doesn't want it.

    Mandatories ain't an excuse. Its why the IBF belt fell into Martin's hands. Its a well known fact Pulev was mandatory, Takam stepped in to fulfil that obligation. Its another fact that Ortiz I think it was is due to face AJ at some point because he was a mandatory. Ortiz then got the Wilder fight before being framed, for prescribed drugs from his doctor. Now that mandatory STILL needs to be done and dusted. So Wilder vs Joshua can't happen at the start of the new year because AJ still has 1 mandatory vs TBA Team Wilder know that.

    Wow. What an embarrassing post. I can only feel sorry that AJ has such terrified fans.

    Yeah, Parker certainly took the U.S. by storm when he fought here. I've never seen anything like it.

    Yeah, that's it. We like to know which corner the American is in. You certainly have your pulse on the American boxing public.

    Where did I say that you're insinuating something I haven't alluded to, to fit your narrative.

    I said quite clearly before Wilder/Parker is potentially the biggest fight available to Joshua. Currently it's on a par with Parker despite Wilder not having fought in the UK or fought anyone decent like Parker.

    Wilder for some reason thinks him beating a bunch of nobodies and being a paper champion somehow means he gets to pick when the AJ fight happens. Wilder has next to no leverage at all in this, but acts like he deserves a shot next.

    AJ is mandatory free right now. His next fight will be a voluntary. And maybe even the next one after that since the IBF only force mandatories once a year. The WBA haven't ordered a mandatory challenger yet and Joshua won't be in any hurry to face once since he only won the belt 6 months ago.

    i would love to see wilder v joshua / i want to see it in the uk because of the time zone difference / but the sooner the better.

    fighters only fighting twice a year is bull**** used to be 4 sometimes 5 times a year now its huge gaps inbetween.

    as to finkel and hearn both as bad as each other with the he said she said tittle tattle
    just sit down negotiate figures and let us watch it .

    finkel shitting on hearn is hypocracy as he has been paying wilder oppoents peanuts and has got the requisite monkeys/.

    hearn has splashed the cash on his investment and will insist on rematch clauses so he unless wilder takes him to school a loss is not the end of his world.

    haters and fans might think so but this era has made for very few superfights.

    Ortiz was removed from the 1 spot a few days ago. Hearn is speaking to Povetkin's team because he's being lined up as the next fight early next year to fulfil the mandatory. THERE is a mandatory which needs to be done, I don't care what you have to say about it.

    It ain't embarrassing GG, it's factual mate. AJ's fought the best most complete Heavyweight of the last 10 years, admittedly not prime but still a better fighter than anyone Wilders fought. Look at the fights both have had. A'J has'nt had as many and he has a better resume. Pulev pulled out, Fury's ****ed in the head,Parkers a great bloke but that's it in terms of threat. AJ's gaggin for comp. It's Wilder that people are laughing at blatantly
