Yeah, that's what it ended up being, but it was sill a banned substance and the fight was initially called off. Also I forgot about Wawzryk. He tested positive as well.
Fury already turned down an offer to fight AJ because he wanted to fight Wilder apparently. Then Fury turned down the offer to fight Wilder to fight Schwarz.
My money is on on either Ortiz or Kownacki being the replacement. Hearn can spin it as Ortiz " the guy that badly hurt Wilder"...despite his only notable wins being against Jennings and Hammer. Kownacki "The guy with large fan base in NY who beat 2 Wilder opponents (who won numerous rounds against Wilder) in more impressive and dominating performances".....despite having a really close fight with Charles Martin and had it been for 12 round instead 10 he would probably have lost.
Remember Wilder ran to the hills to duck a prime Povetkin over a Meldonium false positive and lost a court case. That cowardice still rankles with me.
Partly, It could be so. Miller also had a calmness over him that gave him better stamina over his opponents.
Wilder and Fury are already training, offer one 45% and I bet the fight gets made. Nobody wants to watch them fight Breezale or Schwartz.
I think the difference is that Joshua will be disappointed not to be fighting Miller - I am pretty much too considering i was looking forward to his fat ass being humbled and removed from the title picture, I find him really annoying - whereas Wilder acted like he won the lottery when he didn't have to face Povetkin and fled before anything was even confirmed.
