    Hearn just said this on the post fight press conference.
    The Wilder fight was signed and was going to be announced tonight if both fighters was to win.

    Don't know how to feel about that. I always believe in AJ. But as i said in the other thread i also always believe that AJ is all wrong for Fury, and Wilder has a lot more chances against AJ, as Boxing is all about styles.
    Now in 1 fight everything can happen, and Wilder has the weapons to chin AJ, no doubt about that. Fury doesn't posses that power, and i'm sure AJ will KO him, and that would have been easy KO.

    Still it's kinda sad, as Wilder - AJ never going to happen, and that was the biggest fight in Boxing at one time.

    Call me bias, but i blame Wilder on that one. He got 120mil. offer from DAZN, and he rejected it.
    He and Fury even admit they wanted to lock AJ out of the picture.
    Sad really.

    Don't really care to be honest

    Fury Usyk is the only thing that matters

    Then I can finally drop the charade and be a normal person, a real human being.

    My take is that boxing is essentially a sport.

    And the upcoming Joshua - Wilder fight was tested on sporting terms last night, and it didn't come up.

    ... and only one word covers Joshua-Wilder's lost millions from the past fight that was ducked by one or both:

    Doh!!

    It's a shame, Wilder and AJ both should have jumped on the fight years ago in their prime, and with the public demand it had would have done massive numbers on PPV. A big opportunity missed and added to the list of the biggest fights in boxing that never got made.

    Marinating gone wrong once again. Shows these stupid idiots once again that waiting years to make a fight will cost you millions. Expensive lesson here Eddy.

    Yeah i think we can now surely says that this fight ain't happening. There is a zero reason for AJ to go against Wilder. A big risk for little reward. That fight is 100% out of the picture.
    Wilder - Usyk never going to happen as well.
    And hell Fury going to continue ducking AJ, and that fight ain't happen as well.

    And sorry to say it, but i blame only Wilder and Fury for this.

    Wilder ducked many offers to fight v AJ. Stepped up a level in Parker (Wilders never beaten anyone of his quality and got beat). Now Wilders misses our on the big AJ payday his turned down so many times in the past.

    Parker fought AJ when he was champion and lost. Wilder avoided AJ for years. Now look where it got them. Parker can get a second AJ payday while Wilder is haunted for Fury in his dreams. Wilder could have fought AJ YEARS ago, got paid a fortune, and then rebuilt himself and fought Fury anyway.

    Wilder gets KO’d by Joshua.

    Wilder is a B grader at best and can’t beat any of the top guys.

    Oh the fight can still be made but not with the original terms of the contract. After this lost I'm pretty sure the money split will now be heavily Joshua.
