Bearing in mind he has a contract in front of him and knows the WBA are putting huge pressure on Joshua to defend against their #1 contender Povetkin. Is Wilder deliberately not signing to avoid AJ?
Both sides have stalled and put up road blocks. Both fighters want it imo but the teams will let it grow just a little bigger. Fans are the ones who lose out again and its al these little shitty and bitchy fanboys who let them get away with it.
Thing is, Joshua doesn't need Wilder. Al Haymon and Showtime are for once, playing second fiddle to the other party. If Wilder just wants to talk for the next 5 years and then retire, then so be it. Joshua doesn't care, he can wait and get all the belts in the future. He can get 20 million fighting a guy in the street, money doesn't matter, and that's why he doesn't need Deonkey Wilder. If Wilder avoids Joshua, then the winner of Whyte-Parker will go and chase him down instead. Eventually the WBC and Al Haymon WILL play ball. And when they are forced to and are put under pressure by the boxing public, he will be beaten by someone, one way or another.
