Anthony Joshua Finally Responds To Deontay Wilder "I'm Still Waiting For A Signature"

[JWHardin]

You think Wilder is going to fight Fury?

Why wouldn't he? It is a very winnable fight for him, and PPV worthy.

[juggernaut666]

Why didn't they fight Ortiz when Pulev pulled out? He was the other mandatory at that time. I think you know the answer.

IBF rules are the NEXT in line takes over the mandatory slot which was Takam .

You guys can continue to post baseless posts on here but doesn't that make you look foolish ?

Ortiz was NOT a mandatory fight before the IBF one was done for Joshua .

Had Klitchko won then Ortiz was next bc Klitchko wasnt the IBF champion since 2016 .

You also implied Joshua ducking Ortiz , yet Hearn offered Ortiz a guaranteed contract to fight Joshua after Pulev even though he didnt have to bc that was the next fight but Ortiz DECIDED to fight Wilder .

Really whats the point of posting without knowing whats going on ?

Anthony Joshua is so phony and fake that it is pathetic. At worse he has all of his gullible fans fooled. The fact is he doesn't give a damn about them and all he cares about himself.

He could have made that fight with Wilder happen much sooner rather than later by gift wrapping the fight that all his fans wanted to see but he lacked the courage in order to do so because he's chicken and fears the "Bronze Bomber".

Instead we are stuck with a 40 year old uneven Alexander Sasha Povetkin bout.

He chose to pursue a fight with Wilder, probably thinking he could beat him and then get a much better purse from AJ.

They never gave Ortiz a chance, so why would he wait around? They lined up Takam "just in case" Pulev did what they expected him to do. Why not notify Ortiz instead of Takam? He wasn't committed to Wilder yet.

The answer is obvious. Hearn had no intention of letting Joshua fight Ortiz. He even had Ortiz in his stable for a short time, and didn't want to put Joshua in with the dangerous southpaw.

Hearn paid Takam to train as alternate to protect the investment made in hiring an 80k capacity stadium and selling a lot of tickets and PPV. Smart business from a smart businessman.

Ortiz understood he was trying to fight a guy with multiple belts and multiple commitments. He was next in line with WBA. He chose another path.

Why? Because he doesn't shout profanities and goes on every possible talk show to convince the public of his innocence?

AJ said what he needed to say imo. He's waiting for a signature.

because he's very obviously told what to say and when by his corner. notice how he shut up after he realized the 50 million dollars were verified? he asked for 50 million to make the offer for 12 million flat to wilder seem reasonable, becuase he didn't expect the fight was that big. he probably genuinely really didn't know how boxing finances, casino money, taxes, tv networks in the states operate, and that calzaghe and hopkins did better at the gate than he did in front of 80K at home.


on side is taking less to make this fight next year and at home. they hid behind dillian white, lowball offers, and now they're hiding behind a very convenient mandatory to push off the biggest fight in boxing!

that is what it is, you guys are completely delusional or don't understand that this is prize fighting, and boxers themselves don't make decisions like that. eddie hearn does not want this fight next. eddie hearn does not want this fight in the US. we know this because he's turned down more than he's indicating his fighter will make at home.

he's either a liar, or he's lying

So?

If AJ hadn't said that, Wilder and his fanboys would have no excuses to hide behind right now. It was a bad PR move by AJ and Haymon capitalised on it by taking the risk of potentially lowballing him with 50/50 in foreign territory.

If AJ hadn't said that, Wilder would have no excuses right now not to fight. His fans might even be questioning him. But now he can hide for a while and fight the next bum.

That's why AJ is being more selective about what he says. It's smart rather than arrogant as he was before.

[Lopez_Boxing]

Nowhere for Deyonce to run.

Sign the contract.

Sign the contract that Joshua hasn’t signed yet? You do know that in business wilder should be the LAST person to sign a contract written by another party.

When you say be more selective with what he says, do you really mean shut up rather than lie? That's kinda how I read that
