    Since when is turning down millions and a shot at 3 titles courageous and a G move?
    Lol Kownacki is a joke.

    AJ is not going to want to move this date unless he absolutely has to. He needs to fight, it's been too long already. He needs a credible opponent. And the US market exposure. I'm thinking if Ortiz plays his cards right he could be inline for a massive overpay day. Maybe more or a lot more than what Miller would have got!

    Maybe, but this oppurtunity is right here right now....

    How long does Wilder make people wait? No one has tried harder than Dillian Whyte.

    Good luck to Kownacki getting to a shot at Wilder, then beating Wilder, then going back to AJ for 6 Million +

    This 6 Million fight is ready right now.

    17,000 tickets have already been sold.

    10,000 UK nationals are flying to New York to watch the fight on June 1st.

    You can't change now.

    What Top level heavyweight is going to take a fight with Joshua on a six week camp, unless they were already in heavy training?

    It's not about the money for Kownacki, the guy's a real fighting man and wants a proper opportunity to challenge for the world title. You can take the businessman approach like Dillian or the fighting man approach like Kownacki.

    Mhmmm sure, this is a real smart move, passion/glory and all that. Funny how Wilder and Joshua don't have the same mentality for glory and quible over splits... and guess what... THEY ARE ALREADY MULTI MILLIONAIRES.

    Hilarious


    AND they are ONLY one step away from unification and HISTORY as well.... EVEN MORE HILARIOUS.

    Every top heavyweight that has a family, where 6 Million can make a life changing difference.

    Otherwise... if they dont have families and they already have 6 million . then maybe I understand.

    Oh please. Fury and Wilder fought each other four months ago.

    And the division isn't in shambles. It's just difficult to find replacement opponents when people aren't already preparing for a fight.

    If we're being honest, the EASIEST Fight for Hearn to make would be Joshua vs. Usyk.

    Both are training for fights in the U.S. Both are promoted by Matchroom. Both fight on DAZN. Both are in their primes. Both are respected by all the orgs.

    They could sign that fight today.

    But Hearn chooses not to.

    Vitali was also training for a fight on the Lennox Lewis undercard.

    Usyk is scheduled to fight Takam down the road in Maryland the Saturday before Joshua fights.

    Honestly, that would be the easiest fight to make. But, instead, Hearn is considering pulling a guy Usyk beat off Usyk's undercard to fight Joshua (Hunter).

    That's NOT old school.

    Let Mike Hunter fight Takam, and let Usyk fight Joshua.

    Nobody would have a problem with that.

    Well, Hearn would.

    What a silly post.

    Usyk is fighting Takam, the Usyk and Joshua fight NEEDS to be milked given their huge reputations and P4P status. That is not a last minute replacement, that is a beautiful business proposition that you exploit in the right time.

    Stop being an idiot, Hearn has every intention of making that fight.
