I'm disappointed in Fury for avoiding the rematch with Wilder. Even though Wilder demanded home country advantage, he should have gone through with it.
By the way, it's obvious to me that both Wilder and Fury have been avoiding Joshua. Props to Miller for having the courage to fight the beat heavyweight in the world.
Disappointed in Fury? So am I. As I've said many times over, we can sit here like the jilted brides of boxing and pretend we care more about Fury's new contract than we do about The Rematch that was ingloriously snatched away.
But where do get your "Wilder and Fury have been avoiding Joshua" theory? Do you not agree that Team Joshua made an embarrassing offer to Wilder, only to have the proceedings drag on like a soap opera?
"Oh but Wilder isn't as good as Joshua and attracts less fans." Yeah yeah yeah..... I've heard that song and dance a million times.
We were talking two undefeated champions here, one from the U.S. and one from the UK. The perfect chance to stage a HW championship fight for the ages. Instead, Team Joshua chose to pussyfoot around until Fury stepped in and stole his thunder.
When has a legitimate offer been made to either Wilder or Fury to fight Joshua?? Fury I can understand. He just got back from a self-imposed hiatus and just crashed the HW scene again.
But regardless of what anybody thinks of Wilder, he's still one of the HW champs. Team Joshua's proceedings were degrading and insulting.
You want to prove how much better you are than Wilder? Do what Fury did..... get in the ring with him and let your fists do the talking.
Arum, Hearn, et al remain the scourge of boxing, with Fishnets right up there with them. They dangle fans on a string and reduce them to talking about who got the best contract.
Only in boxing...........![]()
