    That is really disappointing if true, I was getting a bit hyped for a Helenius match-up.
    But there is a lesson to be learnt here:
    Never trust Frank Warren :lol:

    Hrgovic pulled out of his last fight and there’s no indication when he plans to return. He’ll need to fight somebody with credentials to be worthy of consideration for any big fight.

    I think it should be in Chisora in Chicago.

    Chisora can just be added to the death toll without much fuss.

    "You are basically arguing with historical revisionists at this point"

    Talk about hypocrisy.

    "Wilder has been caught admitting to ducking Joshua"

    Were Hearn/AJ offering equal terms and 50-50? Or were they trying to play their position and kick the can down the road, trying to age out the most dangerous puncher?

    "massive cherry pick gone wrong"

    Wilder was a slight favourite in the 1st and 2nd Fury fights and a wide underdog in the 3rd. AJ's never been close to even money, let alone the underdog. Usyk 2 is the first fight where he'll be the underdog and AJ's still being given a better than 33% chance. Since 2018 it's Wilder who has fought the stronger and more dangerous competition: Fury x3, Ortiz x2, Breazeale vs Usyk, Povetkin, Ruiz x2, Parker, Pulev.

    "and it also stopped undisputed"

    AJ could have stepped aside after getting hammed by Ruiz in 2019 and we would have got Wilder-Ruiz for undisputed at the end of the year but that was never going to happen. The main reason why it hasn't happened yet is because AJ can't string together more than two wins in a row these days so the division keeps being held up with his rematch clauses.
