Fans are the victims but Deontay Wilder shouldn't be blamed for taking Tyson Fury chance. The fight they wanted between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has been stolen from them by lawyers and inept management according to Barry McGuigan. It beggars belief that the parties were talking about a Fury/Joshua fight in Saudi Arabia when Deontay Wilder ’s legal pursuit of Fury was in the works. Is Barry right about these promoters?
Poor bodybuilder Joshua. The bomb squad ruined another mega fight ... Time to go back to the olympia with all the other juice heads, and pretend your worthless paper belts mean something! Lol
This is true enough... It's the biggest payday available to him and if he's willing to (probably) take a third humiliation for the cash then why not. It's practically a win-win for Wilder. He'll get more from a Fury trilogy even if he loses than he'd get from knocking out a bunch of bums without a belt, which he could still do even if he loses again... Or just retire richer than he would if he retired right now. And if he somehow wins, he's free to go back to defending the belt (probably against questionable opponents again) for better money than he'd get without it, OR he could potentially get the fight with Joshua that gives him a massive payday at very least. No, there's definitely no blaming Wilder for pushing for it and for going for the fight. It's probably the hopelessly inept judges of the first fight you'd want to blame for putting the fans through this, but such is life and boxing.
We were promised a huge fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown, which will probably never happen now.
I blame the state of boxing tbh, not the fighters. We've had two clear wins for Fury, and Fury was robbed of the first win. If that bull**** hadn't happened, we wouldn't be talking about a 3rd fight. Wilder has won 2 rounds, and even in those rounds he only won while Fury was knocked down. Fury outboxed him for the rest of the round once he got back up.
