Be upset cause a fighter willingly takes on tougher challenges
What do you mean it "seems" clear??. Wilder has outright said he not thinking about AJ and his focus now is Tyson Fury.. Especially since the last fight was a draw... Also.. Why all of a sudden now does it seem AJ wants the fight, but not before. Gotta ask yourself these questions
It's not irrelevant though. What happened in the past is how why we're where we are today.. Had Ass Juice and Eddie set the date and venue before instead of playing games Fury wouldn't even be a factor right now.. Now they have to wait. SIMPLE AS THAT
Bottom line is this..
When Wilder was hung ho abput making this fight with AJ, them dudes were on their bullsgit.. You cant fault the man for losing interest.. Why yall thought Wilder was supposed to chase after AJ forever like ggg was chasing Canelo?? Hell nah
I mean they offering Wilder the fight but he's saying he wants the Fury rematch now. I think AJ has always wanted the fight personally. Not sure if business between the different promoters got in the way or what happened but they are telling different stories. Why does Wilder want to fight Fury again though now? He could be undisputed champion fighting AJ, have all the belts and then have the rematch with Fury be even bigger.
It could be irrelevant if Wilder accepts the fight, if he really wants it and to be undisputed champ all he has to do is accept it now, then the past is the past and they can fight finally. If Wilder refuses the fight then he obviously doesn't want to be 1 face and 1 name as much as he said. If that was my dream and goal since I dedicated my life to the sport I would try and achieve that as soon as possible, I have no idea why he wouldn't want to do that as soon as possible, the Fury fight would be there for him regardless of the outcome. I'm not sure if it's fear or what, but Fury is a safer fight, with AJ it's likely 1 of the 2 gets knocked out, with Fury I think it's unlikely he knocks Wilder out, possible but if Wilder loses will probably be points. I've heard him speak about him not wanting his children to see him get knocked out several times previously in the past so not sure if that's a factor. He also didn't seem to want to fight Klitchko back in the day either and his resume isn't really anywhere near Joshua's overall so leads me to believe he may have some fear there.
Why would you lose interest in being undisputed champion? It's not about AJ, it's about creating a legacy and fulfilling a dream and an incredible achievement and be in genuinely 1 of the biggest fights in boxing history. He has the opportunity do all of that but he's rejecting it, so at this point it's him who's keeping that fight from happening, which is a shame.
I never said it was a good division.
Mark Sanchez level of fumble lol

Just like Ruler I want AJ vs Wilder to have the magnitude it has now, 2 big punchers, both undefeated, both in their prime, for undisputed, not 1 year from now when imo Wilder gonna have an L on his record and will be w/o his belt. I take the latter too but prefer if they fight now. Fury gonna be just as tough or more to the winner afterwards.
Roy Jones, UFC Reach Three-Year Streaming Agreement
UFC and Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions have reached a new agreement to live stream up to 72 professional boxing events over the next three years on UFC FIGHT PASS.
The inaugural event in the RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS series will stream January 31, starting at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT, live from Viejas Casino & Resort in Alpine, California. WBO #2-rated world title challenger, "Mighty" Aston Palicte (24-2-1, 20 KOs), and unbeaten WBO #4 ranked Jose "Chiquiro" Martinez (20-0-2, 13 KOs) will headline in the 12-round World Boxing Organization Junior Bantamweight Title Eliminator.
Roy Jones Jr., a multi-time world champion and future Hall of Fame boxer, formed the Las Vegas-based promotional company, RJJ Boxing Promotions, three years ago with Las Vegas entrepreneur Keith Veltre, developing a growing stable of fighters in a short period of time.
"I was elated when my partner, Keith Veltre, told me he had started talking with UFC," Jones said. "This is just the beginning stages of a long, lucrative partnership between these two brands."
"Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions will give us competitive, compelling fights to stream to our FIGHT PASS subscribers around the world," said UFC Dana White. "This agreement allows us to enhance our roster of combat sports while partnering with one of the legendary fighters of all time."
"I couldn't be happier to bring together the biggest name in boxing, Roy Jones, with the biggest name in combat sports, UFC," said Veltre. "I love that the UFC is allowing us to be creative, so expect to see prospects, tournaments, title fights and more in this series."
