    any fighter who turns down a title fight should not be a boxer. I understand anyone else doing it, but if you are a boxer and you turn down a big fight for a title I don't see the point.

    Wouldn't be surprised if its a plan to give Pulev some extra money to postpone it and fight a replacement and it still make aj look good becouse it's not his fault and his still fighting then he fights his mandatory Pulev and by doing that he avoids any dangerous opponents till he fights Parker at Wembley

    No that was a set up because the WBC didn't want him smashing Deonkey to bits...

    He's losing his mandatory spot he has cited, coddled, and valued so much.

    Highly doubt it's a fake injury.

    No, it's not a fake injury. He wanted this fight and was in the best shape of his career. It's a shame..................wish Ortiz could fight Joshua, Wilder will not go near Joshua...............

    I'm confused....

    If you're saying he's going to fight Takam then Pulev, why not just fight Pulev then Takam?


    Parker gives AJ no problems. Slower, weaker, smaller....just worse at everything.

    Wlad vs AJ KO's Parker vs Fury.

    If Ortiz was as big a problem for AJ as you say, Hearn would've just renewed his contract and ensured that the two would never had to meet in the ring.

    Problem for Ortiz is, he's now failed multiple drugs tests and has no right to fight anyone who is clean.

    I'm pretty sure Hearn let Ortiz go because he knew something was dodgy about him.


    I'm not buying into all this Ortiz nonsense anyway. It makes no sense for AJ to fight him, nobody knows who Ortiz is.
    Joshua wants titles, and until he gets shots at Parker/Wilder, who are currently running scared, he's better off facing opponents where he gets paid as much as possible.

    Hearn got Ortiz to keep him away from aj and after he looked like trash he done his job no one wanted to see the fight and even when Ortiz looked like trash the fight still hasn't happened meaning his not Confident aj can win and aj made ibf mandatory when he could have choose the wba they were never gonna strip him like they did to fury and they still cherry picking for aj did you not see the klitchsko fight he went life and death with a shell of a fight that hadn't be active at all and if he had been active would have finished aj off and remember fury Made him look like a fool

    I'm not one for questioning the use of English, punctuation etc....But it certainly gives the impression you don't really know what you're talking about.

    Hearn had Ortiz under contract for, iirc, two fights? He bought into the hype.....and simply discovered that he wasn't all that. Allen and Scott are 1 round KO jobs for Joshua.

    The german boxing media, who have covered every Klitschko fight, claimed it was actually Wlad's greatest performance for years, some claimed it was his greatest performance ever.




    There are 3 guys at the top of the heavyweight tree, and only 1 has a platform to make a mega fight, and the same guy is the only 1 with a top level name on his resume.

    If Ortiz really is this 'big monster' that some claim, then surely Parker and Wilder need to do anything they can to get him to sign a fight deal?

    Joshua is carrying heavyweight boxing on his own at the minute.

    Normally this would be enough but he was being super weird about how long a camp he said he needed.

    It's still prob legit though. Does this still count as a Joshua's mando fight or are we going to have Pulev foisted upon us by the IBF as mando again sometime soon?

    probably legit given hes a near 40 year old man with a huge, easily damaged frame.
