    Probably. We'll likely get Cleverley and Bellew on the bill - both PPV stars!

I don't think there's anything wrong with fighting Cornish for your 14th pro fight, that's pretty standard operating procedure for heavies. But the boxing establishment laughed at Wilder all the way to his whooping of Stiverne. The same people are treating Joshua as if he's already beaten Klitschko..
      People laughed at Wilder, but way after his 14th fight.

      This guy was Wilder's 14th pro fight:

      Dan Sheehan 204 Win: 11 Lost: 38 Draw: 0

        Agreed, the Whyte fight will be exciting and worth the wait.

        Those cards are very underwhelming, Warren and Hearn are no better than Haymon, in fact they are worse.

          So because Wilder had a joke resume and was laughed at by the entire boxing community it means that Joshua should do it as well ? i dont understand the Wilder comparisons .... Wilder Carrer was a joke and if he had lost to Stiverene it wouldve been over as well , If they want to build a guy the same way without stepping up and suddenly fight a tier 1 fighter it can end is carrer , Stiverene was just bad so Wilder got lucky.
          Joshua should move up in class if he wants to win a title in the next 1/2 years , doing a bum-> world champion jump seems like a bigger risk then fighting better and better guys until you get there.

              I fail to see what's quite so outrageous about a 13-0 fighter taking on a 21-0 opponent.

              The comparisons to Wilder are laughable. If you take Stiverne out of the picture then they've fought at the same level despite Wilder having more than twice as many fights.

                Yes, we have the Whyte fight to look forward to - but, let's be frank, it should have been AJ's last fight (or his next).

                At this rate, Parker will get a title shot before AJ.

                  This is a commonwealth title bout and people are complaining? Lol relax, it's the guys 14th pro fight. It's clear that they want the whyte fight next year to mean something. Then the world level opponents await.

                    It really is a waste of Joshua's talents after destroying the tricky proven Kingpin to now spend the next 6 months knocking over unproven and unranked trash cans Cornish and Whyte. Hearn seems only interested in getting the cheapest possible opposition rather than fights that will actually benefit Joshua.
