    i don't think a Fury-Wlider rematch is written in stone yet. Fury could easily come off the rails, or just declare he won and move on. Wilder could do the latter himself and take on his mandatory.

    If Wilder vs Femi happens, you will have to wait until April 2020 for it.

    Femi is fighting Whyte in April 2019 and Big Baby Miller in Oct 2019.

    Wilder will need to travel to make this fight happen though, because everyone can see that the USA has the worst referees and judges in the world at the moment.

    What bums?

    Or you another one of those that will accuse Joshua of something but then just leave it rather than try to explain your accusation?

    He has the best resume out of any heavyweight. Povetkin ain't a bum!

    Wilders resume looks better than it is because he thought Fury was washed up!

    It's very simple. If Wilder signs the contract TO MAKE MORE THAN HE'S MADE IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER, plus unifying the division, then we have a fight. This shouldn't be up for debate. He should jump at the chance to unify and make retirement money. And we shouldn't be arguing %, we should be looking forward to a fight. The end. Anything else is ducking from Wilder because he will make about 2 million if he fights Breazeale and Fury will not fight him again in the US, he wants to fight him in the UK and Wilder will not do that.

    More likely than happen eventually but Wilder is running damn hard in the other direction right now. Which ever way you want to spin it you can spin it but the fact is Joshua wants it and Deontay doesnt. Personally i think the key to unlocking all of this is Joshua taking it to the States. Finkel and Wilder will remain stubbern, unresponsive, difficult, slippery, contradictory and awkward until Hearn and Joshua give in and have the fight, the 1st fight in America. Right now they are unwilling and to be fair they shouldnt have to but is what Finkels looking for here as much as a big share of the money. He would prefer to actually have control of the fight himself, we may see other attempts at offers to Joshua before they accept anything off of Hearn.

    But they gotta weigh up their risks though because a loss for either impacts bigtime on this fight happening or generating what i generates now. Heavyweight Boxing is a dangerous place to be making long terms plans that require nothing to change beforehand.

    This fight will overmarinate
    I have little interest as I see it as another May PAC or GGG Canelo style dragging on party
    Maybe in 2020 but I see one of them getting KOd before

    Yes. He can beat Wilder. He'll have a harder time with Fury's size and movement.

    Lets look at the facts.

    Wilder says Joshua is begging for the fight, Joshua agrees. So clearly Joshua wants the fight, both sides agree on that.

    Joshua and Hearn are the only ones making any offers for Joshua/Wilder.

    Wilder is saying Fury is his priority and no amount of money will change that. So even if he's offered 50/50 or even more he won't accept.

    So if the fight doesn't happen it's because Wilder doesn't want it. Now if Wilder fights Fury next then that's understandable because they have a score to settle after the controversial first fight but if Wilder fights anyone else like Breazeale it's a duck by Wilder.

    Personally I doubt it happens. Joshua has said if he can't fight Fury or Wilder it's Ortiz, Miller or Whyte next.

    They aren’t but there’s no chance Wilder will leave the US you could say if AJ really wants this he’s gonna have to be prepared to travel to Vegas as he should anyway for his legacy.

    If AJ travels to Vegas it will take 100 million he won't leave the UK.

    It's another Wlad Haye. A clear mismatch which, because of the challenger's perceived KO power, is seen as a 50-50 fight.

    I hated that Wlad gave in to Haye's demands to make the fight, even if he did utterly dominate him, and I'd prefer Joshua to stand firm and not budge an inch to Wilder's delusional demands, especially now that Wilder is essentially coming off a loss.

    Let Wilder rematch Fury or go back to his usual run of knockovers in Alabama high school gyms. If he beats a fit Fury he fully deserves the fight on near-even terms, and if doesn't then let him fade into oblivion.
