Really funny.

MadeInTokyo:

Our Anthony Joshua dey fear Wilder

The fear Wilder is the beginning of wisdom for Anthony Joshua

I dont blame Joshua..Wilder will have him for lunch.

Megatrix:

Why did he refuse to fight? He chickened out simple. Everybody was working towards this fight from the WBC, WBA, IBO, WBO,the fans, to the promoters, everybody wanted this fight, guess the only people that were dragging their feet and resisting the fight? Joshua and his team!!! He chickened out and that's the Truth!!!! He's scared of of Deontay Wilder!!

No he is not, you guys talk more than this during his last fight, dont worry he who laugh last, laugh best

dominique:
Fear of losing his belts
If he doesn't take up this Wilder challenge, his credibility as a super boxer will start to diminish

So you expect a 4 title belt holder to fly to USA to fight Deontey Wilder who is just 1 title belt holder. Where is that done? Joshua already told him to come to UK for the challenge and not him going to USA

ozoebuka1:
I like Nigerians because they don't make research but will be opening their mouth like yoruba people... You will see them shouting wilder will beat Joshua but in reality, they've never watch both of them fight different opponents to know who may win the fight...

It took grace for wilder to beat Ortiz but with Joshua, anyone can carry the day... There's no guarantee for any of them.

thank you. if not for height disadvantage,ortiz would have killed wilder.

how many top boxers has deontay wilder fought Aj has more to lose and thats his reason for being cautious not like wilder is that confident....

Wilder the beast.

WBC is the most respected belt of all time. All great heavy weights didn't care so much about other belts but the WBC. Go and do your research, if you have the WBC you are considered the best heavy weight. Go figure.

HajimeSaito:
Fury is just an envious, frustrated "has-been" who is still battling with his cocaine addiction and mental health issues. Both Wilder and Joshua are undefeated, but Joshua is 5 years younger and he has a good record against aggressive fighters like Wilder as proved against Carlos Takam.

Joshua did not even refuse to fight Wilder, he just decided to postpone the Wilder fight until he fights a mandatory title defence against Alexander Povetkin on 22nd September.

That is not what Joshua told me. He scared.

You know, you could have won medal with this post of yours had you not been an ethnic bigot.

Wilder has accepted the money. The issue is the rematch clause, the contract joshua sent has a rematch clause that favour only himself. That means, if joshua loses he has a rematch but if wilder loses he wouldn't have one. Wilder has the most respected belt in heavy weight boxing and he deserves more.

wilder never accepted the deal, he's pushing for 50/50. Even the 30% AJ is offering him is more than he can ever get, so it's a fair deal. Wilder might be aggressive, but AJ is suited to all styles. Wilder is just wild, not as technical or skillful as AJ. AJ will beat him anyday.

Typical Ibo man. Na jealousy go kill una

You don't know a thing about boxing. Ortiz has a longer reach than wilder. Ortiz has a reach of 84" while wilder had a reach of 83". I hate it when casuals think they know alot about a sport they don't watch. Height doesn't matter in boxing that much, it's your reach.

Mike Tyson was short but he knocked down gaints.

ozoebuka1:
By being certain or analytical

You mean like Ojuku and Nnamdi Cownu?

In fact, Joshua should be running from Ortiz too because that guy is good.

hohyay:
Joshua is not scared of anybody, he wants the fight to take place at Cardiff cos of the money they will generate....but everyone seems not to understand.

you are the only one dat understands even more than Joshua himself

koxi:
Ok...Tyson Fury your point is noted.
If e easy, why you no dey fight again?!
Oya come out na, make you come fight Anthony Joshua by yourself if he no go disfigure your face

the question, why is he afraid to fight Wilder

Wilder is unpredictable. That is why Joshua should be scared. Wilder has the Chin too. Have you been hit by small thermocool fridge before? Explain that to Joshua because that is what Wilder throws.

God bless our Yoruba brothers, at least they represent us & thats something to be proud about

Wilder started talking of 50-50 again after AJ frustrated him by refusing to update the rematch clause. Wilder and his team already sent back the contract, accepting the $15m flat fee and asking AJ and team to update the rematch clause. AJ and team refused then wilder said the fight won't happen again and if it happens it must be 50-50.

Even great boxers like Lennox Lewis, Evander holyfield has said AJ and team are phony with the fight. AJ and Eddie Hearn(his promoter) are cunning as hell.

solbase10:
Tyson Fury has labelled Anthony Joshua a disgrace for not reaching an agreement to fight Deontay Wilder in the United States.

Joshua holds the International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Organization (WBO) and International Boxing Organisation (IBO) heavyweight titles, but failed to reach a deal with WBC champion Wilder for a fight which would have unified the divisions’ belts.

Instead Joshua will take on Russia’s Alexander Povetkin, a mandatory challenger, on September 22 at Wembley as his next opponent after defeating Joseph Parker recently.

And Fury thinks Joshua is scared of fighting the American and believes the heavyweight division deserves better from their champion.

“I think it’s such a sad time for heavyweight boxing because you’ve got the so-called super champion and golden boy, Anthony Joshua, and he is avoiding Deontay Wilder and will not fight him at any cost,” Fury said in a video posted to Twitter.

“If you’re not going to fight someone for £40million, you’re not going to fight him for anything. It’s a disgrace and he’s a disgrace to boxing.

“And I think it needs somebody good enough to step up and take on the challenges and not be afraid – not be afraid to take risks and go to people’s backyards and do it.”

He should follow his heart,we don't want somebody to come and kill him.

its good to be cunning sometimes, didnt you know?

why is he afraid to fight in USA as if all the boxer in America go join hand beat him... the guy is just scare of losing the belts

See lazy Nigeria youth displaying their talents! You didn't even bother to read what either Joshua or Wilder has to say, just passing judgement straight away based on the verdict of one washed-up, had-been fighter. Not fair at all.

ELKHALIFAISIS:

That's what you're supposed to find out on the internet before passing judgement. If you knew about boxing, you would have understood that the factor could be anything including revenue sharing formular.
What did you know about this particular fight besides what we read on this thread? Because I believe that this information from Tyson is not enough to make an informed judgement.

People with no idea of the malicious rivalry between these two are talking. The truth is that Wilder is fucking and have ducked every real opponent. The only credible fight on his CV is grandpa Ortiz. AJ and UK is where the money is, and everyone knew what went down... Wilder will make more in the fight with AJ than he has made in his last 7 fights even if he loses, so... Whyte have called Wilder out severally and he ducked white claiming that "kings don't chase peasants..." But is taking a fight against punching bag Breazle, who AJ used as a training equipment. Beyonce Wilder needs to better his CV with real fights and not fight cab drivers and Kebab owners.

Here is Eddie Hearn, the main business head and AJ promoter explaining what went down.

Here is Whyte who is known to never duck any fight calling out Wilder.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdUJrieNYnc

And here is Wilder running as usual from Whyte... Same old style

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtCoBTFRScA

The reason AJ is fighting Povetkin is because it is MANDATORY, if he doesn't fight Povetkin next, he will be stripped off the belt he fought hard to get.. Anyone with an idea how boxing works knows this.... And everyone in the boxing community knows that Fury is a loudmouth who supported everyone that ever fought against AJ.. everyone knows he always rooted for AJ to lose but he ends up being disappointed.

asides that Wilder shouldn't be scared of fighting AJ in the UK,I think its just a whole lot of talking from Wilder,if he's sure of himself,fight the AJ in the UK,he's got more belts and Wilder is the challenger,he shouldn't be dictating where and when he wants the fight.agree to fight AJ in the UK and the deal will be sealed,I don't even see this fight happening anytime soon if I was AJ I'll till 2021....lol
