Nobody knows when Wlad is returning, and it's still not a good fight.
Last time we seen Wlad win a fight, it was a struggle win over Bryant Jennings 2 years ago
I understand they have to fight a rematch, but as of now, Wlad isn't even sure that he will take on the rematch, so there's no reason why Joshua shouldn't be as willing to accept a unification vs Deontay Wilder:
They have Kubrat Pulev lined up as their "plan b" instead of Wilder if the Wladimir fight doesn't happen............cherry pick.
