So Wilder, the WBC heavyweight king, should be happy with the same amount of money even if it's over the course of fewer fights?

Maybe the champ should have a chat with Floyd instead of DAZN.

The great thing for us fans is that the DAZN are making these fighters sign away their freedom - freedom to avoid fights that is.

All good, the best thing to happen in boxing for years.

Let's not start kissing in the showers yet. Let's wait and see the actual matchups to fall into place.

Now Wilder-Joshua seems to be much more real and this is a better chance for Deontay, as 4 belts will be on the line and Joshua is an easier target, than Fury.

Haha give over. Joshua is not an easier target that anyone! They all pose very different threats to each other. Wilder has devastating power. Fury doesn't have the power to really trouble you, but he will outbox you for 12 rounds. Joshua has the balance between outstanding power and boxing ability.

I don't think anyone can honestly say they're confident one beats the other. Anyone that says they do, are only fooling themselves.

100%. Wilder's power carries through whole fight. He's never out of it. Fury can be hit, as we saw in their fight in December. AJ is the only one we haven't yet seen against a top level fighter. Wlad was old, so let's not go there.

Why not go there? Joshua vs. Klitschko was one of the ATG heavyweight fights, and Klitschko performed very well. You may well reference his age at the time of the fight, but he was in prime physical condition, and got more experience at the top level you could possibly shake a stick at.

If you cancel out the Klitschko win for Joshua as significant, you have to do the same for Fury, which was only 18 months previous, thus removing his lineal #1 spot.
