Let's hope so. Make Wilder fight his way back if he wants another shot at the champ who beat him twice in a row.
Eddie Hearn is desperately trying to peddle this rumor because he needs AJ Pulev to sell & wants that fight delayed. Bob Arum is classically goading it along for laughs. The second Las Vegas is open for business & brits can fly in we will get Fury Wilder. Hearn is waiting for Fury Wilder to make their announcement before he makes a move. This year is looking like a write off for everyone. Mid October is the deadline before it gets pushed back. I think secretly behind the scenes both AJ and Fury's teams just want them to get rid of mandatories ASAP for a summer 2021 fight.
I don't think it'll be viewed as a write off. Many fighters are still expected to fight at least twice this year. Many guys fought in the first three months of the year and will fight again before it's over. Danny Garcia fought in January against Ivan Redkach and is fighting Errol Spence in November. Mikey Garcia fought early and Shawn Porter is fighting this month and they will both likely fight again before the end of December. Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder fought in February and are expected to fight again later this year. Efe Ajagba, Robert Helenius, Joe Joyce, Adam Kowanacki and Frank Sanchez have all already fought this year. Ajagba is scheduled to fight again for Top Rank in September. Helenius, Joyce and Sanchez are expected to fight again later in the year. The guys who didn't fight early in the year and now want to wait until they can fill a stadium are the oddballs out. If Joshua doesn't fight this year, I think the last two years of Joshua's career will be remembered as a complete waste. He's going to turn 31 in October. He had NO WINS when he was 29. And he had one win (a decision over Ruiz) when he was 30. His prime is slipping away.
Dude, Kingpin is only on his second fight of the year. We still have a long ways to go. NO way does he only "fight" twice this year. That would be a travesty.
No need for a third fight. Fury and team know this. They will drag it until AJ deal ironed out. Wilder Fury 3 is meaningless for boxing. Wilder should take some light fights and retire
They have reserved Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas - new home of the Raiders - on Dec. 19. In a stadium that size, even with seats blocked off for social distancing, they'll be able to accomodate tens of thousands of fans.
Wilder is mentally finished You know how terrible a position it is to go into a fight knowing your only way to win is by knockout? and to have a man walk through not scared of your power despite every man you've ever faced before quitting or getting stopped because of it? "He knows he ain't messing with no quitter no shthouse. I'm a born and bred fighting man" The worst part is Wilder actually landed some peach right hands on Fury in that second fight and it didn't move him AND Wilder felt Fury's full power for the first time and it messed him up. When you need Malik Scott mentally prepping you to go out to a weigh in you should just retire or face an easier opponent lmao. Should fight Whyte he stands around wanting to eat that right hand
