Fans react to Joshua’s additional fight before potential Wilder clash

The recent revelation of Anthony Joshua’s plan to face another opponent before his potential clash with Deontay Wilder has stirred up varied reactions among fans. According to a tweet by Michael Benson, “Eddie Hearn has stated that he, Anthony Joshua and Derrick James all want AJ to fight again around July 29th/Aug 5th, before the potential Deontay Wilder clash in Saudi Arabia in December.”

Fan reactions have been a mix of concern, support, and excitement. One worried fan, FkyourFeelings🥊🥊🥊, expressed apprehension, saying, “Noooo!!! Because he will lose or look terrible and take the fun out of Wilder punching his head off his shoulders!!”

On the other hand, Dom voiced support for the decision, stating, “Fair play, hope they mean it. All fighters should fight 3 times a year IMO. Fighters wanting kudos for fighting twice a year shows everything that’s wrong with boxing today.”

Landon 🏴‍☠️🥊 expressed hope for Joshua’s victory in the interim fight, tweeting, “I hope that AJ wins so that we’re able to see AJ 🆚 Wilder. It’d be a shame to fumble the bag right before this blockbuster event.”

OneGoalShort emphasized the significance of Joshua’s performance in the upcoming fight, saying, “So he should. If he can’t beat a chosen opponent in July, he won’t be beating Wilder in December and he will get violently knocked out.”

Lastly, A-Side predicted a rough time for Joshua in his potential face-off with Wilder, claiming, “Good, cause Deontay is going to destroy his ego and career for good.”

One can only wonder how the result of Joshua’s next bout will affect the eagerly anticipated confrontation with Deontay Wilder, as fans are divided over the potential consequences of this decision.
