Terms agreed for Joshua-Wilder fight, says promoter Eddie Hearn

50/50 heavy weight fight for me

 

Ortiz had some pop. Actually hurt Wilder. Both have what it takes to drop the other. I think it comes down to who hits who first.

 

I'll believe it when I see it!

 

It does, but that is IMHO more likely to be Wilder - he knows his route to a win is via a big right hand and is less hesitant than Joshua these days.

 

They agreed terms before and Wilder and his team just sat on the contract and refused to sign it. So just because they agreed terms it doesn't mean it ever happens.

 

50/50 but leaning more towards Joshua.

Joshua isn't the killer he used to be, but he's still skilled and has more than enough power to KO Wilder.

 

i'll buy this one. it's not decisive that i can see, but it could be pretty entertaining and even foty. just don't try to charge me the full hunnet. it's insulting. there is no macro significance here.

 

This fight is another one where I won't believe it ever happens until I see them touching gloves before the first round.

 

Just two contenders wanting champ cheques

 

"Eddie Hearns says..." alot of things.

The reality is Joshua has built an entire career on ducking Fury and Wilder.

 

Again, the fighters agreed to terms months ago. Both of them want it and neither is ducking the other, and nobody's management appears to be playing games.

The issue remains whether the Saudi pot of money will manifest as promised. We still don't know the answer to that question, but I'm skeptical. Becuase without the huge Saudi money, they'd have to negotiate the split for some lower amount of cash.

 

AJ by brutal combination inside finished by vicious uppercut and left hook. Battle off BBC, battle of sausages. Fury will have mental breakdown when he will watch their official weighting.

 

Joshua can only discover if he still has a beast inside him in sparring and in the gym.

He doesn't want to do it in front of the world where he may get exposed and never recover from the potential humiliation if Wilder decks him.

Joshua is a much better and harder puncher than Fury so he has that in his favour. What he doesn't have is the ring IQ but that can be worked on with very tough sparring and slowing things down in the gym and working out what works and doesn't work against certain fighters using your own strengths and limitation.

This is where the strength of elite trainers lies because most of them are just glorified mitts holders and fitness instructors.

 

Wilder ducked AJ. He fought against Fury in second match altough he could earn 100 mil against AJ. Wilder admited that on his FB.
