    Tired of Wilder, Fury, Joshua ducking each other. Its a long shot but hopefully Breazeale beats Wilder, and Big Baby knocks out Joshua. This would be great to shake things up. Fury is not losing to the guy he is facing. I have a feeling Wilder or Joshua will lose before fighting each other.

    I agree that it's annoying how they aren't fighting each other, but I wouldn't say they are all ducking each other..

    - Fury ducked Wilder, and doesn't seem interested in the Joshua fight.
    - Wilder seemed to want the Fury rematch, but is clearly ducking Joshua.

    Hearn and Joshua have tried to make the fights with career high paydays on multiple occassions - but with no cooperation at all from the others...

    Yet - I seem to have some sort of faith that AJ and Wilder will fight later this year, I know how unlikely it is but I just have a feeling! Can't see either of them losing their next bouts either tbh

    Whenever I hear someone say that Joshua is ducking anybody I have to shake my head at just how dumb some people can be.

    Wilders done after these fights, so it's in his interest to build this as much as possible.

    By repeatedly offering record paydays, giving up home town advantage and sweetening the pot by offering 8 figure paydays against an opponent nobody really cares for.

    The gall of the man, how dare he send realistic offers and try and to make the fight by continually compromising, doesn't he know your meant to ramble incoherently in interviews, screaming inane catchphrases about bombs and being one face and send email offers with 24hr acceptance clauses that you must refuse meetings for, that's how it's done in America baby!

    If only DAZN in that meeting had offered the $100 mill deal and said they had 24hrs to accept and when Haymon, Finkel and Widler asked questions Skipper should of closed his eyes and put his hands over his ears screaming I can't see or hear you, you are not here. Only then would Wilder and his team realise they were serious and accepted the deal.

    Wilder and Fury just fought each other. Not really much of a ducking argument to be made there. I would have liked to have seen an immediate rematch, but I'm not gonna hate on them for taking fights in between. Also, it gives AJ a chance to try and fight either one of them before they fight each other again.

    I honestly believe they all want to fight eachother and none of them are 'scared'.

    The issue here is greed and ego of the promoters, broadcasters and fighters.

    I hate talking about splits etc but if Hearn was being genuine about the offers made to Fury and Wilder a few weeks ago, they should've taken them in my opinion. I know we only get to hear the top end of these deals, but from what we know - they were great offers. Neither Fury or Wilder are 'worth' more than Joshua commercially - and Joshua holds the majority of the belts. Stands to reason he gets the bigger cut. I say that as someone who doesn't like Joshua and is a big Fury fan.

    I just want to see them all fight - Wilder vs Fury was a great event, Wilder vs Fury 2, Wilder vs Joshua and Joshua vs Fury would all equally be fantastic events and sadly it's the fans that lose out with all the politics.
