It wasn't that long ago that Joshua and Wilder were both top 3 in the division and both undefeated. Now Wilder is completely shot. Joshua headed the same way and ironically they might finally meet with 8 losses between them, for no belts in little more than a cash out.
I'm starting to think they will. Hearn knows that if either fighter gets splattered again he loses much of what's left of the casual interest in the fight. Wilder and Joshua are both high risk to lose again soon. This is the danger of over marinating a Mega fight.
I think the likes of Whyte and Del Boy are capable of putting it on AJ right now as they'd both like that scalp and would probably go straight at him, they're too dangerous also consider the psychological pressure for AJ against those 2 in another big British fight and AJ could fold. I don't think anybody is interested in snickers Andy it would be a shut out again he just looks like he can't be bothered. Wilder is a very winnable fight as he's likely even more gun shy than AJ, and has maybe realised he's nowhere near the fighter he thought he was so I don't actually think Wilder will take it. I say go after Miller, he's got a decent chin but he's also easy to hit so if AJ can stop him it's a massive confidence booster fight. After that go for Fury if he's not involved in s trilogy.
Willder ducked Joshua 3 times, with 1 time confirmed even by him. AJ "ducked" Wilder 2 times, with the first offer being BS, and the second time being 2023 right before signing the contract to fight him. So Wilder's team is way more responsible for the fight not taking place. AJ's team didn't pursue that fight enough tho, imo.
Except he hadn't already beaten Dubios, and Dubios isn't a shot fighter with a string of brutal KO losses. It's about the easiest fight he can take that has any meaning.
Anyway, I doubt it happens AJ has potential Fury and Wilder fights still out there Whyte gives him nothing much
At this stage, anyone with any power could trouble Wilder and anyone with any power could trouble Joshua.
It will be Tony Yoka. Eddie - "It's the meeting of 2 Olympic gold medalists Koogz. It don't get bigger than this!"
