Why was it so hard to get a Wilder/Joshua fight when it seems like this Fury/Joshua fight is going to get made?
Wilder was saying for a long time that Joshua was dodging him so it was curious to me that this was getting made.
I’ve always assumed it was a PBC/Eddie Hearn issue. Fury being with Arum makes it easier I’d think. When in doubt, it’s usually a dumbass promoter issue keeping us from big fights.
Neither guy should step aside. Pulev is 38, he’s not getting a better shot at a guy than the one he’s signed to right now.
