Joshua fans are totally unwilling to zoom out and consider that maybe, just maybe, everyone isn't ducking the cash cow with the suspect chin. They think the Fury who was willing to go to GERMANY to fight a 10 year unbeaten, champion Vlad as a 5-1 underdog is ducking a Joshua who has shown he is vulnerable to many styles and lacks heart. The same Fury went to America to take on Wilder as a 3-1 underdog, but yeah, again, he's ducking a career high payday against Joshua in a fight where he'd be the favorite... Joshua has the best promoter and the most money behind him. If a fight doesn't get made, you need to look at how his management is trying to maximize returns. The Wilder fight would have happened if he didn't get splattered by Fat Andy, and if Wilder beat Fury. That was the plan. There was no duck.
Doesn't matter what Fury did ten years ago. Clearly if he wants the AJ fight and is confident he can win, it's there for him.
And just how confident do you think the Joshua who got beat up by Fat Andy, outboxed and beat up twice by Usyk, and destroyed by Dubois is feeling? Joshua has NEVER voluntarily been the underdog in an initial meeting. Let's see him do that and I'll reconsider who is and who isn't willing to take risk.
