Re: Am I the only one who still wants to see Wilder vs Joshua?
One scenario where AJ and Wilder may fight, is if Tyson beats AJ. This fight may happen this time next year if not sooner.
In that scenario Tyson would be undisputed Champ, with neither AJ or Wilder having any titles. They would then fight for the right to face Fury once again.
Again in that scenario, Tyson may retire after becoming undisputed. But I'd say stick around until both AJ and Wilder are actually in the ring together and then announce retirement to make the titles vacant, otherwise the AJ and wilder fight will not happen.

Now AJ and Wilder have both tasted defeat so their power and standing has diminished. Fury is now the rightful, recognised number 1. He is a rich and MAN took on a rosky fight and came out on top.
The landscape could have been much different is these two, their teams, managers, promoters and tv backing stopped fannying about avoiding the fight for a couple of years.
But all that said, AJ-Wilder is still the most explosive bout in sport and I would deffo want to see it! Now that they are vying for a spot at the top table with Fury, maybe it will just happen!
I agree totally with this, except maybe the last sentence. Wilder and Joshua DID "fanny about", avoiding the fight for a couple of years. Now each has suffered devastating losses that have diminished their standing.
I also agree that Wilder-Joshua WOULD be the most explosive bout in boxing at this time. And as I said from the opening..... I'd love to see it.
But I'm less than optimistic on whether it will happen.
Wilder-Joshua will not happen unless...........

Yes. The only way Joshua ever steps into a ring with Wilder is if he loses to Fury. And even then, it's an iffy proposition.
If Joshua somehow gets past Fury, then Wilder can just forget it. He'll never get a shot at AJ.
