How funny would it be if he sidestepped the immediate rematch in order to unify with WIlder. It would be an easy fight to make considering Andy and Wilder are both PBC fighters. Talk about a major shift in power. A year ago, Joshua's team wouldn't even entertain the thought of giving Wilder a percentage in a fight.
We are living in hilarious times lol I cannot absorb what just happened. I am going to be shocked for a few weeks.
And isn't it ironic that just this week Wilder supposedly signed two fights back to back King Kong rematch AND then a Fury rematch, so he's now booked like for the next year.
Not ironic at all, it was a strategic move to take some of the luster off of AJ's US debut. Those fights Wilder has lined up can also be sidestepped for unifying the division.
What I mean by ironic is like Wilder was praised all week (and rightfully so) for making those two tough rematch fights Back 4 Back. But now after Ruiz pulls this upset as a fan you almost want to see Ruiz fight Wilder next instead of an AJ rematch.
It's hilarious. I'm happy for him. Wish he wasn't so ****ing obese though. He'd be faster and better.
