11/23 PBC on FOX PPV | Wilder vs Ortiz II
- Thread starter Rain
- Start date
Very disappointing he ducked the AJ fight to fight somebody he already knocked out not that long ago who is older with blood pressure issues. Seems like they wanted to time this so AJ couldn't call him out after his fight too.
Gotdamn...Deontay ain't playing no games. Anybody that wants to fight, gets to fight.
Why AJ don't step up?

He did, Wilder rejected 2 fight offers. . to fight Ortiz (who also just ducked an AJ fight
)
Shyt was obvious when Ortiz was in the ring after Wilder's last fight

Yikes really. Who wanted this?

He's rejected way more than 2 offers. The last deal he rejected was a 120 mil deal too when his highest payday is max 10 mil. For the Fury fight which was by far his biggest fight his purse was 4 mil, the deal he rejected was for 2 50 mil AJ fights, so he turned down over 10 times his purse for that fight and 5 times his highest ever purse to duck AJ.
Sounds about right..supposedly this fight was next..the Fury fight is next Spring. Joshua claims he wants to meet Wilder face to face for a sitdown...

Wilder has already been invited to the AJ fight and turned it down, he's fighting Ortiz now so there's no point, fight isn't happening anytime soon, if the reports are correct he'll be fighting Ortiz, Kownacki, Fury (possibly twice) or Whyte and then possibly AJ, which would be hugely disappointing. I could tell from his recent interview with TBV he didn't want the fight and it wasn't happening. If it happens, no guarantee at all now because it's no guarantee AJ would beat Usyk and no guarantee Wilder beats Fury and to a lesser extent Whyte, but if it does the earliest it could possibly be is late 2020, but even that seems optimistic at this point, it could be 2021 or even 2022, or even 2023, it depends how long he decides to duck for. Neither of them are unbeatable, very possible 1 could lose before it happens and they get tied up. To lock himself into this fight is a clear sign he isn't serious about the fight happening and doesn't want it, him and AJ would have both been free after the weekend and could have made this at the end of the year.
