I continue to like the way AJ is being brought up, one step at a time.

This is better than the cornish fight. Whyte & cornish are close to the same level but the fact whyte handed AJ one of his amateur losses gives the fight a little more flavour. I expect joshua to take him out in fashion.

I actualy think whyte is probably better than wach, so kind of a ****** move when you lose to someone in your back yard. If whytes in form he can win.

Whyte's lack of opposition means it's hard to be sure how good he is, but he doesn't look close to Joshua's level from what I've seen. Their amateur scrap adds something to it though:



Really entertaining, both look green of course but throwing with intent the whole fight.

I think AJ wipes him pretty bad

[Chrismart]

I can see the reasoning behind it, Sky will play on the bad blood between the two. I think Joshua wins comfortably though.

The Fielding Vs Smith fight is a good one. The details say 'venue not yet decided', but surely there can only be one place for it.
I'd still be surprised if it comes about. With both guys climbing the alphabet rankings, i'd of thought Hearn would like them both to remain unbeaten at this point.

the fact that whyte knocked him down adds a nice element of uncertainty to this fight. Can he do it to him in the pros? From what I have seen of both I suspect AJ will take him out in a few rounds but as you said it is tough to rate whyte with such a limited resume. Whyte was suspended for over a year so he lost valuable time while AJ was getting in solid training & staying active. One thing we all seen is AJ can be put on his butt. Sure it was a few years back but whyte had enough pop to floor him with headgear on. I wonder how well whyte takes a punch? Can AJ take a punch? This will be interesting...
