Just seen that Wilder wants Joshua next.
Would make a decent undercard for Fury vs Usyk.
Eddie Hearn wouldn't want the Wilder fight. Too risky with little reward.
However, if we are talking hypothetically. I would love a double header like that.
It was tongue-in-cheek, as in it's no longer worthy of a main event now that they?ve both had their reputations damaged by recent outcomes.
It's true that I read an article with Wilder's trainer saying that, though, re: AJ.
But nobody will be interested in the Wilder vs Joshua match anymore. Not as much as they once were anyway. The heavyweights are all between the ages of 31-35, so there won?t be time for them all to box each other now.
Fury, Usyk, Whyte just get on with it when it comes to the matchups, and that is the attitude the fans will will want to see for now.
I don?t blame AJ, though. He's decent. Eddie Hearn has just overestimated his mileage and got it wrong.
It's not the end for AJ, but he/his generation has been overshadowed by Fury, so he can only realistically claim back pride now, rather than top spot.

Bivol was superb last night. Proper disciplined performance. Landed clean shots, patient, kept his shape well, excellent jab. Canelo was out of ideas. Beaten by a well schooled Light Heavyweight.
