    Wilder will duck the April 13 venue and get knocked out by Breazeale and will look like a fool and continue his downward spiral .

    so NO is the answer! Lol

    In answer to your question, no of course not. Anthony's unbeaten record is totemic to MR boxing, and as much as I think Joshua beats Wilder, there is always a risk. Initially thought they would clamour for a match with Wilder but now I believe they've just upped the PR game.

    There is a plan for AJ and they are sticking to it and it involves Miller, Pulev, Whyte, and probably Usyk before Wilder. All MR have done is upped Joshua's PR game considerably the last few weeks and will probably continue to do so. Expect AJ and Eddie to constantly talk about it to keep casuals like Galvatron happy, but use unreasonable negotiations when it comes down to literal business.

    He will have to fight the winner of the Fury-Wilder rematch late next year. It's been obvious for months Hearn was going to make Joshua-Whyte in April but the winners better fight in the next fight

    Maybe by 2020-2021. Joshua isn't scared, but I don't see either Barry or Eddie risking Joshua, who is only 22 fights into his career and from what it looks like can make millions boxing a broomstick at the moment. I only see Eddie and his father making the fight if Joshua's ticket sells start dropping.

    Exactly. Well put.

    Fury has been very quiet since the fight, will be interesting to see how the weather vane in public opinion changes when he comes back into the fray.

    Wilder-Hearn is more likely
    Hearn will go out on his shield to protect AJ's "brand"
    AJ too stiff for Wilder & Fury.
    AJ always fights 6'2 or below
    Whyte is not 6'4

    Am I missing something here? Joshua and co have made a new offer, guaranteeing at least double Wilder’s highest pay day, with an upside/split. There is a date and venue, and as I understand it, a two way rematch. Seriously, I want to see the light. How, where and why is Joshua and co ducking? Or has something new just come to light that I have yet to see?

    I know, Wilder has openly said he won't fight AJ now, apparently AJ had his chance or some rubbish, Wilder also said AJ doesn't want the fight and then a week later said AJ was begging for the fight.


    Wilder fanboys know this and are not only embarrassed but confused, so they are somehow trying to blame AJ for booking a Stadium, Offering Wilder a career high purse and going on TV in the US and telling the world he wants the fight and Wilder refusing to talk or do a deal.

    So, according to these people It's all AJ, AJ is the one who doesn't want it and is to blame.

    No - but he's on Fox PBC's payroll now. And they call the shots. Or at least LL's Twitter posts.

    The thing is, I don’t mind people not believing that Joshua and co want the fight. Just like 305th has said he feels like it’s Matchroom upping their PR game. He’s acknowledging what’s happening, but has his own opinion, which is cool. However, most are just pretending that what’s unfolding in front of their eyes isn’t actually happening.

    I do believe more people are seeing this as Wilder avoiding the fight. Well, that seems to be the consensus on social media, and for reasons you’ve stated.
