    Of course it was usyk who was pushing for wilder .
    Wilder was in no position to even dream of a title fight , in fact he was on a straight line to retirement until usyk called him out .

    Wardley and kabayel were the true #1 contenders and both were/are willing to fight usyk

    Oh yeah, Usyk is well known for all the easy touches and sure wins. Remind me of the last one he took?

    Dubois2 . Coming late from a party to his own undisputed fight with a flashing sign "punch here" on his chin . But thats another story . Question here is why the wilder fight stalled and what opponent to expect now , if any .

    Fighting a fellow world champion in his 20s is an easy touch?

    If that is the question, you should change the thread title

    Yeah man, Dubois coming off demolishing Joshua and being a favourite to beat any other opponent at the time was such a soft touch. He should've taken the hard road and gone for Joseph Parker. Maybe Parker could've managed a 109-119.

    Wilder is a ****ing moron. He "bet on himself" and missed the AJ paydays which was a fancy way of saying, "I'm okay making less money against other opponents." Now, WILDER - and not Usyk - have passed on this fight.........to versus 45yr old Chisora. Makes sense
