Is "Stay Humble" pricing himself out of fights or does he think 80,000 people will pay to watch him shadow box?

If he's only offering crumbs to Whyte, will "Stay Humble" ever be generous enough to offer a slice to Wilder or Fury?

AJ hasn't tried to conquer America. He has all the attributes that the US fight public likes. Size; punch; and a bit of an aura. It took Lennox Lewis a long time, but most American boxing fans hold LL in very high regard today. I'd like to see AJ at MSG and on non-pay TV. I think it would enhance his standing, as well as his value for subsequent fights here in the States.

Stay humble.

Dillian deserves his shot more than anyone, but its a boring fight imo. We’ve seen it and both have improved to the level that I think it’ll be even more emphatic next time.

Joshua and Eddie will get a pasting when they officially announce his next opponent if its not Wilder or Fury anyway.

He might be better off nipping over to the States and turning Miller upside down and get out of the way and hope to wow ‘the Garden’

Oh, absolutely. I get that the Joshua team will end up making the best deal possible. I really just cannot stand all the bullsvt back and forth; rumors; public negotiating; etc. As a fan, just tell me who; where; when.

I'm sure Joshua would fight anyone but he really pisses me off when he stands ringside and spouts off about his worth,just pay the going rate ffs,he'll be on 80/20 or more anyway
