    See Fury and Warren complained about “an official offer” same thing that Eddie Hearn has said now in multiple interviews. There was no contract either.

    So by your logic we can’t blame Fury for the debacle either.

    Eddie Hearn categorically said “if there’s no offer as a promoter Warren should create an offer, that what we do as promoters” he’s like a walking propaganda machine that Eddie Hearn.

    To the question I would say Kabayel is likely for December

    Gerald Washington fresh from his close loss to London’s boxing treasure could fill the spot, as Chisora, surely won’t fight another pal for his yearly bonus.
    Might even be a DAZN non PPV, as a Xmas treat, with Joshua sacrificing another “huge” purse, as Ed likes to emphasise, before a “massive” showdown with inactive, damaged goods, Wilder!
    Thankfully, we have Joyce and Zhang soon, risking it all, just months after their last fight, showing, how it should be done!

    His slurring is getting worse and worse. Hearn won't need him to talk to sign for the fight though.

    It’s amazing how hyped-up these original AJ fights were, back in the day. Cornish portrayed like the second coming of Braveheart. And plenty of us fell for it.

    It’s easy to say that you’re all in. Joshua made raps and released videos last year saying of course he would sign the contract for Fury when he had no intention of fighting him.

    He could probably dribble his signature.

    Fury hadn't even agreed terms with Usyk regarding a split. Joshua and Wilder already agreed terms and the money.
    He had no trainer at the time. It was never going to happen.

    Always an excuse for Joshua. No trainer, sponsors wouldn't let him fight etc.

    So he was lying when he said he’d fight Fury but we’re supposed to believe him when he says he will fight Wilder.

    It is the Matchroom way.

    Listen to Connor Benn name checking champions then he ends up fighting 40 year old plus stiffs.

    Think money will have Joyce going for the interim Matchroom Belt

    There’s no way DAZN will accept another non PPV fight and AJ is no longer able to sell out big arenas on his own.

    I know a few people who went to the Hellenius fight and it was dead In there with large sections curtained off. I believe that this was also not solely down to massive refunds coming in after Whyte got popped - it was never sold out, far from it.

    My guess is there is no December fight. They will wait it out for the rest of the year and pray the new Saudi crew in charge comes through and either delivers Wilder or more likely offers the Fury fight.
