Not a bad idea? If Eddie Hearn 3 months ago said Joshua will fight miller in an interim fight then Wilder in September it would not be called ‘not a bad idea’
Warren and Arum are going to milk Fury's current popularity and make a fortune doing so fighting on ESPN. Sucks that this pretty much kills the rematch for now and that Wilder wasted his time trying to make the rematch. Wilder again will be the big loser here. He now doesn't have a choice but the defend his mandatory. WBC probably mandates a fight with Breazeale next and screws over Whyte again.
Lol that would be funny but might have further repercussions. If Breazeale fights Fury instead he might end up forfeiting his mandatory position as he refused to fight Whyte in a mandated eliminator. Whyte then could automatically be made mandatory and Wilder is mandated to fight him next. But I see that being the least likely scenario. WBC more likely mandates Whyte/Ortiz again as a final eliminator and Wilder again gets a pass on fighting his mandatory and fights someone like Kownacki.
Funny how much the AJ haters were slagging off the miller fight and now wilder and fury are both gonna be fighting tomato cans.
It would never happen because Joshua will never sign to fight Fury or Wilder. 50 million was on the table remember
