Calling bull**** on the Twitter post; even if the tweet actually did come from Scott, Eddie Hearn isn't reckless enough or foolish enough to lock Joshua into his next fight within five hours of winning the title (for no other reason than the Sky Box Office numbers can't even be guessed at for at least another week).
You add that the initial talk is of staging the fight in a stadium, and there's no way that anything close to competitive terms for anything was hashed out that quickly.
Scott heard about the payout that Martin allegedly got, and he's trying to pick a spot at the front of the line. moving on
No freaking way.
Fury, Klitschko, Wilder, Povetkin, Ortiz are the men for the job.
Fury/Klitschko and Wilder/Povetkin are already made (aren't they?), and there's no way Hearn would choose Ortiz their 1st voluntary opponent right after winning a title. Saying that, Malik Scott is softer than baby ****, horrible voluntary given his history. I'd rather Glowacki/Cunningham winner or maybe even Jennings/Molina/Stiverne. Scott offers zero threat and he's pretty much irrelevant right now.
A guy like Duhaupus would be perfect, rugged so he can go rounds and his jab is pretty good so that Joshua at least faces some resistance. Joshua is a much better athlete though so with his superior offense he will be able to use all his tools while having to push himself to really stop the Frenchman.
He could theoretically look iffy, but even in that case it still probably wouldn't be close to enough to get Johan the win. It also wouldn't even be that bad longer term because at this stage him thinking he has made it is a pretty big danger.
And Hearn is talking about Wembley stadium.
If Malik Scott ends up fighting at Wembley stadium in a main event then that is the most ridiculous thing in the history of boxing.
that will send froch into depression mode loool :lol1:
sad thing is some idiots will still pay for it lool :rofl:
Kind of a weird fight to make because if by some chance Scott turns up with a decent performance it is a pretty bad look for Joshua. At best he gets an easy stoppage but it is not like that is something that hasn't been done by a top guy before.
Malik had been lingering around for the past 2-3 joshua fight's. I actually called him being the opponent for tonight.
Hearn had obviously told him to stick around and he'll get a payday for an easy defence and malik will take another dive with the first phantom punch landed like the wilder fight.
Garbage.
Yep. Then went onto get KTFO by the breeze emitting from a missed punch thrown by Wilder.
Yup lol, and got ko'd by a phantom punch from Wilder.
No thanks, funny enough we had posters here complaining that he wanted to fight on against chisora.... How he wasn't hurt etc so he pulled the same shet against Wilder? Got to YouTube that fight now... Thanks for the info

Isn't he the guy that stayed down and then got up at the count of 10 against chisora?

What in the world , dude not even in the IBF ranking
The IBF ruling was the champion after Martin/Glazkov was allowed 2 voluntary fights. Martin/Joshua was a voluntary so the next fight is going to be a Eddie Hearn bum special voluntary.
The Takam/Parker winner is mandatory for late 2016.
