This is a rough tuneup w 50m on the line in December. Kudos for Joshua if this fight happens and I really hope he wins so Deontay can knock him out at the end of the year.

I wonder why he doesn't think Whyte will sign? Or maybe he's just saying that as some kind of mind game to get Dillian to sign.

What a shlt fight

Crap fight. A rematch that has no business happening. However, if I try to break it down some more, they are both coming off of a big loss (losses for Joshua) against the two main champions (Fury and Usyk). They both are back in the W column after beating the same dude for the distance. Both looking to get another W. Joshua probably feels he can get a high profile British win to keep his name up. However, I just have no interest in this fight.

Why is Hearn hell bent on negotiating through the media? Isn't that the number one rule promoters abide by. And why does he keep lying about Joshua fighting Wilder when no contract has even been discussed yet. This same time last year, it was Fury's name been bandied around and we all know how that played out. White, a guy who's already shot and pretty much lost 3 of his last 4 is a massive fight? This dude is really full of sh.it.

It's what passes for a massive fight for Hearn these days...

Crap fight, anything with Dillian Whyte is crap. This is a fight that no one ask for but Hearn.

Because that’s what Hearn fans seem to love about him. His fan base are casuals and they are more attracted to him than the fighters

It’s a pretty risky tuneup. Both of them are down bad right now and looked around the same level against the same guy. I’d watch this if it was free.
