Sky probably did not want Haye, Wilder and Bellew on the same platform with all their ego's there would have been fireworks.

Mate, don't get taken for a mug, they're all buddies really. I bet you still leave a mince pie out for Santa!

Joshua won't duck anyone that's for sure.

Apart from Bellew of course. That's just suicide

I just hope the IBF don't get trigger happy and end up splintering the titles again. Can Wlad fight someone else before excising his rematch clause? If so it would be nice if he shut Briggs (possibly Oquendo but Briggs has the history with Wlad) up once and for all and brought the 'WBA' strap into the rematch.

As you guys are saying it is sad that no one will give Ortiz his shot. I actually think Joshua could beat him but it would be a very dangerous fight. Ortiz is slower than Joshua and getting a little bit slower by the month I'd think.

I dont think Joshua will swerve Ortiz for one minute. Ortiz is mandatory for the WBA, Pulev the IBF. They'll both want to have their shot, it's up to them to figure out who goes first. The WBA have all but said Joshua can have a voluntary and it looks like the Wlad rematch will go ahead.

There's a great video on Youtube of a guy who provides 'proof' that Ortiz has been ducked by every Tom Dick and Harry out there, it's brilliant in a mad factually inaccurate kinda way. I dont dislike Ortiz, he's a skilled guy but Im by no means offended that he hasnt had a shot yet, he could have tried not being a drug cheat to expedite the process?
