Why do they deserve a ridiculous amount of money? Wilder has been smashed twice by Fury and Joshua has been soundly beaten twice by Usyk. Neither have fought anyone meaningful since their losses yet they want daft money to step in the ring and face each other? That's what's wrong with boxing today, especially the heavyweights.
You saying "reason why Joshua cannot fight Wilder" and not "Joshua and Wilder can't fight each other" is evidence of your hate towards Joshua so I won't be discussing any issues related to Joshua with you from now on.
Don't hate anyone and simply see though Joshua's nonsense and Hearn's spin. His CV is rotten, he has no elite traits and the only genuine World Champions/Contenders he has fought are Klitschko when an old man at 41 and Usyk twice who badly exposed Hearn's spin. Huge multi-millionaires I stated which means criticism of both and we nearly all post the home fighter first when discussing fights. Now take your Matchroom Tampon out and move on as we all know it is yet another no hoper in December followed by Whyte 2 next summer.
If Hearn still had the pull he did AJ and Ngannou would be announced already. No brainer of a next fight for both involved.
There must still be a bucket of money to be made by promoting the fight in Vegas or the UK. Hearn, AJ, Wilder & co just want the Saudi loot. Greedy bunch.
“The money was there”. You claimed they had seen it. They didn’t see 1 Saudi Riyal. Apart from making excuses about Skills Challenge, what has stopped the self-proclaimed World’s top promoter from making this fight in 8 years?
This defining year in 2024 you see for Joshua, who does he fight in it and for what in the way of belts?
Well he could fight Wilder. He won't fight Fury or Usyk as they are tied up for 2 fights. He could also have another couple of fights against step-ups in opposition where we will truly see if he has regained his confidence or whether he will never reach the heights he once hit. He could also fight Filip Hrgovic or Otto Wallin for the IBF World Title.
If Hearn can’t make the Ngannou fight then AJ should make the Zhang fight. That will show he still wants it.
Zhang is with Queensberry so it’s difficult to make. Joshua already beat Zhang in the amateurs and even knocked him down. I doubt Joshua has a qualms about facing a 40 year old man. People forget that Joshua beat Zhang, Joyce and Wallin already in the amateurs.
