It won’t be December No way in hell does he fight that soon again. It will be more like April/May and it will be the Whyte rematch.
Only duck if you consider Wallin to be better than Fury who Whyte pulled out the fight with to enforce his mandatory against Fury. Wallin risky? How? He looked poor against Brezeale (not even amongst AJ's top 8 opponents he has). Looked poor against journeymen Brooker and in particular against Sokołowski. Wallin went the distance was with a a guy Dimitrenko Koed in a round the year prior. A pillow puncher, with slow foot work that AJ already beaten in amatuers is hardly "too risky".
I was pretty high on Wallin following his promising showing against Fury. I'd have liked to see him get more opportunities, but his winning performances against Breazeale tempered things a bit. If not Joshua, it might be interesting to see him against a fellow contender like Sanchez to start separating the wheat from the chaff.
The fact that Wildwr and Hearn both confirmed they made an offer to fight Wilder win or loss against Usyk prior to their fight, speaks volumes how confident AJs team ate winning that fight. Also how little confidence Wilders team have it him that they didn't reply back to Hearn.
Do you have a link to this? Also do we have any idea what the offer exactly was? It's all well and good people making "offers" - but if those "offers" are ridiculously in favour of one side then they're never going to be accepted.
Exactly. Both Wilder and Hearn have said about the offer so there must be truth in it. You'd have thought Wilder and his team would have jumped at the possibility of getting 4/5 belts if Joshua had won
i love it.... this is hilarious. You are counting employees of businesses that AJ owns and random mates he has as his entourage. So are we counting every employee at MTK as Tysons entourage? Spencer Jones - Merch manager, George Lockhart - Chef, Kristian Blacklock S and C, Shane Fury, Tommy Fury, Joe Parker, Andy Lee, Sugar Hill, Big John, Dan Kinahan, Brendan Lyons - Bodyguard, Tim Allcock - Advisor, Matt Towey - Massuese, Isaac Lowe, James Ward - Business Advisor, Asif Vali - Advisor, Oh no stop the clock Tyson Fury has and ENTOURAGE.... there is not a top level boxer in the world that doesnt have one. Who do you think all the people in the ring with Usyk were on Saturday night?
Half the people you've listed are Fury's family and mates I suppose nobody has their family or friends at fights do they... I'm talking about 'videographer, athlete manager, PR manager, marketing manager, social media manager' etc and the best job title out of the lot 'Andy Bell's assistant'

Wilder tweeted this sraiggr after AJ usyk fight confirming that they offered the AJ fight win or lose prior to Usyk fight. This content is protected Couldn't find the Heanr video interview but he is a link of what he said https://www.express.co.uk/sport/box...n-Oleksandr-Usyk-Tyson-Fury-Whyte-boxing-news
Exactly this, when Wilder was WBC champ and Joshua had the alphabet belts Hearn took starting position of 90/10 going up to 80/20… These offers were always going to be turned down which they knew no matter what the amounts were. A 60/40 deal with AJ taking the lions share should have been agreed when Joshua was at the height of his popularity. As much as Wilder uses Joshua’s name for clout, AJs team which is full of spin doctors use Wilders name for clout.
So because Frank Warren has won the purse bids for Johnson v Buatsi but Buatsi won't be taking the fight, does that mean Buatsi is ducking? After all you've just said if someone makes an offer, regardless of what it is, and you don't accept it then that equals a duck.
