Hearn has already admitted that Wilder is a massive risk and they really do not want that fight. He said why fight Wilder for $26 or $30 million when they can fight an easy fight for $20 million. Wow, really? I suppose you've got a link to that article/video yes?

It's true, Hearn has already offered to help Fury back which I guess would include personal training, etc. But, as others have said, I'm not sure Fury has the desire any more. He posts the occasional video telling everyone he's back, calling out rivals, etc, but then he'll turn up at a show and... In any case, he would have to be at least at the same level he was when he fought Wlad, if not better, to make a fight with AJ or Wilder remotely interesting. Whilst I'd prefer the winner of Wilder-Whyte to face AJ in the summer, I'd be just as happy - though I know it'll never happen - to see Fury fight Whyte as a 'warm-up', Wilder fight AJ, both fights in the spring, and the winners of each to fight in the summer.

Warren never fails to trot out the "he's the lineal champ" line in literally every interview he does on Fury, like that's gonna somehow justify a 50/50 split. AJ is the draw Frank, deal with it.

I think Warren just wanted to have a pop at Brook (and thus Hearn) with this article. Salty ol' Frank.

Poor Frank! You're really not aging very well, are you? Every time we hear from you, it's usually to b1tch and moan about some other promoter or fighter you don't promote. So much bitterness and resentment. I'm truly grateful to you for some of the greatest nights of boxing seen in a British ring, but you're slowly killing the memory with your constant rants. Maybe it's time you handed the reigns over to your boys? Take a proper back seat, like Barry. Let the boys loose now, don't wait until you've lost it all. You're losing a fight that has the wrong kind of destiny written all over it, one that you were fortunate enough to be on the right side of 30-odd years ago. But when you dance with the devil, there's always a price to pay... Cue Mickey up on his cloud singing "Karma's a b1tch! Karma's a b1tch! But I love her!"

Kell will need a lot more than noise to help him against Spence. Hehe, yesss Kigali, I knew you'd be there with a response! As I've said before, I have no problem giving Spence props if he gets the win, hell he deserves applause just for travelling outside his comfort zone. But if Brook wins fair and square, you really do need to show some respect, cos you been hatin on him like pro :p Peace!

I'm not sure who I'd prefer to see destroyed in the ring more right now - Khan or Eubank Jr. Grrrr... oh god... it's just so hard to choose...

Yes, you have to love Eddie's "stacked cards". Has there actually been a competitive fight on a Matchroom card since Luke Campbell lost to Mendy? I don't think so.... Fuk Hearn. Nah - I love Eddie's O2 shows, they're fantastic. I'd probably pay more if they asked me to.

I'm really not surprised by the incredible hype that Khan manages to generate for himself, he really is the P4P king of self-publicising. He almost had me believing his stock had actually risen after the Canelo KO until my wife busted me one on the chops - she said I should stop watching Khan interviews because I get a faraway look on my face. Khan has all the attributes of a cult leader, the most important being self-delusion, and, with his bulging bank balance, I think that would be an excellent career move for him once he decides to hang his chin up.

Yeah, pretty sure you're 110% incorrect. First of all Wilder has not once specified the details of the agreement, so what you're portraying as truth is virtually bull-schit. Based on Wilders bantor, in which he indicates he would defeat Whyte quite easily, it is inferred that AJ would be guaranteed as his next opponent once he defeats Whyte. I fully believe that everyone other than AJ fanboy posse, understands what Wilder is asking for. If Wilder were to agree to the winner of him v Whyte proceeding to fight AJ, Hearn would sign him in a heartbeat. That's the perfect scenario for them to build to a summer unification fight. If Wilder wins, he's had the exposure, and Wembley fills with 90k fans again. If Whyte wins, the fight is worth even more as it would be a unification of the three main belts between two Brits. So no, Wilder doesn't want any of that downside.

Glad this fight is close to being made. It took 10 years for Brook to finally get his title shot, and he won it the hard way... in the Champion's house - yeh the Porter fight weren't pretty, but Brook got the job done on foreign soil, and whilst Jones/Senchenk proved that he's definitely vulnerable, there ain't a ww on the planet that can 'bully' him. It's a shame guys judge Brook's career/talent on 2 fights, but here's a thought: consider Porter's subsequent performances against Broner and Thurman? And consider GGG's face after those 5 rounds against Brook - correct me if I'm wrong guys but was GGG as marked up by any other mw as he was after those 5 rounds with Brook? I dunno. I know that the IBF belt means A WHOLE LOT to Kell Brook, more than people realise - maybe because his journey took so damn long; I think the belt holds more personal value to him right now than a move to 154. I know that, whenever they fight, Brook will be ready to defend his prize, and it will be the turn of Spence - who's never fought outside North America - to come to the Champion's house. In the UK. Where they make a whole different kind of noise.

Controversial stoppage aside, I thought AJ's performance was one of his most measured and impressive to date. Coming into the fight, some experts saw Takam presenting a greater challenge than Pulev. Whatever, Takam is a beast who absorbed shots that would have buckled many other heavyweights. And he made Parker look terrible!

IMO it would be an excellent card, in England, Joshua vs Parker, with the preceding fight being Wilder vs Whyte. That would be a huge money maker for all involved, with an outta control 80K fans going wild. Then the winners of those two fights going at it next.... seen by probably the most fans ever attending a boxing event. Yessir! 100% behind this suggestion.

The only thing on Parker's mind after that first crunching right will be "oh ****!"

Best aj has faced too. Wlad was too old. The rest of ajs opponents are bums. Really? Maybe compare the current rankings of Wilder's last six opponents with AJ's? You may find a slight discrepancy there.

Your response is more like it homie. I'm not the one trying to shut down reasoned discussion with such an infantile remark. Homie.

No Problem.

According to Eddie, Wilder's team want to 'wrap the Joshua fight into the Dillian Whyte fight' I can think of only one reason they would try to do this.

The Eubanks thought they were A-side and kept asking for more. K2 rightly said shove it. That's factually incorrect. It was Matchroom who said 'shove it'. The outcome also has nothing to do with Eubank Jr. ducking and everything to do with his father's delusions of grandeur.

It's simply the amount of drugs he's taking that makes him keep on piling on the weight. He'll probably peak at around 260 pounds in a couple of more fights if he keeps up his current drug regiment. If he were to come in any lighter he would need to drop his already sufficiently low bodyfat %, and having too low bodyfat has a very detrimental effect on strength and power for just a small improvement in cardiovascular fitness. His strengths as a fighter is just that, his power and physical dominance, and I think there's a big misconception that he was too heavy against Wladimir, had he been any lighter he would have been stopped, and mauled in the clinches thoughout the fight, but instead he won the fight with a uppercut in a clinch after forcing Wladimir's head down with brute force. And I don't think stamina will be a big issue in this fight, he is not the same fighter that fought Whyte, and he's not fighting Wladimir who is a master at sapping the energy out of his opponents. His weight is not an issue against current active fighters, and the only boxer on the planet that can beat him at this stage is Tyson Fury. Thanks man, some really interesting points ;)

Deon who? :lol1:

Agree with most comments. Saunders could certainly have chosen an easier voluntary, so props to him for picking Murray and, more importantly, staying busy. Hopefully he lands a big one in 2018.

Is that you Eddie Hearn? All that botox you're injecting into your face will one day swell up your face so big that it'll finally match your ego. How about those Hair Transplants you've had, how many is that now...3? I don't care about the rumours you're a H O M O sexual...but i hope for your sake that the rumour that you slept with a 15 year old boy and paid him £10,000 to keep quiet isn't true! Good luck with the deal...all competition is fine. When you've been in this business for 30 more years, then start bragging about how well you're doing. As you're fully aware, Boxnation signed a deal with IMG, you know the biggest and most powerful Media Agency in the world so it's all good. We'll see how Matchroom does without the defacto Promoter SKY MEDIA building up the fights! Without SKY, your two HBO shows played to half empty arenas and average viewing figures. Poor Eddie...a horrible bully boy that the truth will come out about one day when SKY MEDIA and your Max Clifford type PR Boys stop cleaning up your very Dirty Laundry. Say his name Frank, just say it... Eddie "Hollywood" Hearn :rofl::rofl::rofl:

All these HW promoters coming out of the woodwork desperate for a piece of the AJ pie Such whores

The difference between 'Hollywood' Hearn and 'Pinewood' Warren is that right now Eddie has 10 shows queued up, and Frank has 2. It's time Frank gave one of his sons a shot at running the show. He'll lose the BT gig at this rate. Such a bitter human being.

Maybe having '666 The Beast' plastered on his shorts was asking for trouble :p

Jog on then pal *waves*

AJ kos Miller Fury beats Wilder #wembleyunification #allthestraps #goodnightamerica #thanksforthememories
