Comments Thread For: Hearn Maps Out Joshua's 2023: April Return, Whyte Rematch, Blockbuster Fight With Wilder

[macmike100]

These blurbs from Hearn keep coming. Just talk...nothing more. Joshua is done. No incentive left. Should retire and spend his fortune being happy.
I would rather see hungrier fighters fight. Make these fights.

In other words Hearn will milk 2 more pay days off Joshua and hope he doesn’t lose to lesser competition before cashing him out in a fight he probably won’t win.

If those two paydays are Otto Wallin (from what I hear) & Dillian Whyte, then I'm down. Those two before Wilder is a good career year and a good stamp on a decent heavyweight run.

I heard Demsey McKean.

Joshua will kick a can down the street, then pull up and KO punching bag Whyte, then he will sign to fight a top name, and pull every muscle in his body during training camp, and take a year off.

It'll be Whyte 2 this year, then it'll be Ruiz 3 in a 40ft ring in Arabia in 2024.
AJ is not going anywhere near Wilder.

Has anyone heard this bollocks before? Instead of 'were going a different route' it should have been said we're going an easier route' Joshua has never beaten anyone and it seems he never will!

[thack]

There are top guys out there now Fury, Joyce and Wilder but rest assured this con artist will not fight any !

[Punch_n_Judy]

I'd like to see AJ fight Wallin. It'll be good to see how quickly AJ KOs a low ranked nobody who totally embarrassed Fury, until the corrupt WBC doctor let Fury fight on with a potentially career-ending 42 stitch gash over his eye. But there was too much money at stake with the #bumsquad trilogy for the WBC to ever let Fury lose.

If AJ wants to fight Wilder next year he better not look too good against Whyte or whoever, otherwise Wilder will duck him again for sure.

Joshua apparently needs seven months to prepare for a top 15 fighter (meaning someone rating #15, like Demsey McKean). He isn't fighting three times next year. It'll likely be the only time we see him in the ring in 2023.

Joshua isn't a factor in the division at this point.


Fury and Usyk will sign to fight twice. Wilder and Ruiz have an eliminator. Joyce and Hrgovic have the backing of the sanctioning bodies.


Joshua is fallen back to being a domestic British heavyweight again.

Wilder doesn't seem keen on fighting Ruiz.
