The result throws a huge spanner in the prospective Wilder vs Joshua fight and the ‘Bronze Bomber’ has claimed ‘AJ’ will use it as an excuse to not fight him.
Speaking to 78SPORTSTV he said:
“They really don’t want that fight. When I lost, did you see how happy he was coming out? I broke out laughing, I said, ‘That n***a’s happy as f***.’ I made him able to perform like that.
He was like, ‘I ain’t gotta fight Wilder.’ The rumour was he was talking about retiring if I won… March 9th, the fight still can go on. But this is a perfect way for them to get out.”
Nice one
Trying to remain relevant and still get his pay day by making silly comments is about all he’s got left. He’s a terrible boxer with a huge right hand. Facts.
Man U r sick. U need some help my brother, u must be drug to think that AJ is scared of u, u have been lucky all this times cus u been fighting bomb all ur life man. The first real boxer u fought was fury and u got destroyed
So why did AJ fight Otto instead of wilder? Make it make sense?
