Even training adds mileage, Wilder has plenty of wear already (much of it accrued in two of his last three fights) and if Joshua fights Yoka or whoever then presumably Wilder will take a fight in the meantime.
Wilder has to fight on DAZN and I'd make it for pennies. Wilder wouldnt give AJ time of day years ago...retribution time
Hearn failed the Fury fight twice and is surely not willing to let AJ fight Wilder for one simple reason - they will both *ape him and this will mean end of his career, so no more sweet money for him.
Hearn's probably waiting to see how the Fury-Ngannou fight pans out and if it's a success watch Hearn try to make Joshua vs Jon Jones for that Saudi money.
I don't know the ins and outs of that legally given that Joshua is Chisora's manager. I could see Cusumano, Rice, Goodall, Charr. Yoka would be the best of a rotten bunch though because of the (fraudulent) gold medal connection and "UK vs France rivalry", along with it being low risk. Joshua could be the first guy to stop him too: "Even Bakole didn't do Yoka like that koogz"
pretty sure he’s already made it once as well. https://www.skysports.com/amp/boxin...ws-to-smash-aj-in-biggest-sporting-event-ever Tyson Fury - “I've just got off the phone from Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia, he's told me this fight is 100 per cent on”
Idiots like this are what Hearn is relying on to delay the fight and milk the AJ brand even more after 6 ****ing years of Wilder and Joshua circling around each other, maximizing their earnings against lesser fighters(and the only times they fought non-lesser fighters, they lost). And anyone with two brain cells can tell that the reason they cancelled Wilder/Ruiz eliminator is so that they can get involved in the Joshua/Wilder event and sanction it as their final eliminator.
He's not that dumb, @Mitch87 just doesn't want to see Joshua fight Wilder after all he's said. He's terrified of the prospect. Because he knows that it's probable that Joshua will either end up comatose on the floor or quitting in the corner again.
