Why did Anthony Joshua put up such a low offer to fight Dillian Whyte?

Mark when I google 'Lewis calls AJ a coward' all I get are videos of Deontay Wilder doing that. Is there any chance you've confused the two?

 

Thing is, it doesn't sound like Lennox Lewis's style and if he had said that I'd expect to be headline news in the uk, not just in the one paper you've linked to, a paper which des not have a good reputation for accuracy...

 

I think its the same as the Wilder's team fraud offer to AJ. For marketable reasons, they obvious going to try amd say they wanted the Whyte fight but he turned it down son they can cancel and take AJ to America to beat Miller as Wilder has no interest in fighting AJ.

 

Well, it is Whyte who needs to fight AJ, if he wants to prove himself and get the belts, not the other way round...

 

Anyone from South London would be offended. AJ is a Watford hard nut, ain't from South. Whyte is from Brixton...

AJ reminds me of the Staines Massive

 

Agreed but you got it the wrong way round - Dillian is South, AJ is North.

 

Maybe we need one of those PPV speculation calculator bot posters to come in here and run the numbers for us, to figure out what is REASONABLE pay for Dillian in a rematch with Joshua.

They both would do good numbers, and Dillian would contribute heavily to the overall draw.

 

He ain't even North. He's Watford

 

Fair enough - North of somewhere.

 

Eddie says he’s sending another offer to Dillian, fight will probably happen now as he says there’s not much to the klitschko thing. If not he’ll lose the date and AJ will fight Miller in the US. Wilders team not responded to the offers, interview on IFL TV.

 

AJ can do what he wants, if he is serious he should have made a serious offer from the beginning... but his whole demeanour since that post Chisora fight has been hesitant and unsure.

Wilder and AJ are literally ducking Whyte.... waiting around to fight each other... by which point they will both be old men.

Whyte is ready... calling both fighters out but the champs don't want that smoke... just saving face by lowballing offers and talking about peasant money offered by Whyte.

It is obvious they want the megafight. Wilder Joshua and Whyte is too risky of an opponent.

Miller is the easy, tickover guy who knows he will lose but just wants a large payday so he bulks to 300 to give himself a chance of overpowering his way to AJ.

Whyte is the real boogeyman.
