Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn Announce New 3-Year Deal

[LacedUp]

I agree, especially in the UK. If he fought on a few American PPV cards and got a following there, and a possible fight deal with one of the large broadcasters, then going alone could make sense.

He's really marketable. Hearn should be trying to get him out on a US card next year.

Absolutely agree.

To this day I still don't understand how AJ didn't fight in the US in 2014 - Brook vs Porter card would have been ideal.

Yeah sadly I expect that to be the case, not unless Whytes chin is the equivalent of a heavyweights version of Carl Froch.

I don't buy into too much on what happen in the amateurs either but when AJ wins its just gonna spark even more hype.

Yeah, when people win, they tend to get credit for it. You can call it hype if you want but it won't change the fact that he is winning and increasing his stock as a legitimate prospect and future contender for world titles.
I really don't know how, as a boxing fan, you can be critical of Joshua. Would you rather he was arrogant and disrespectful like Eubank and Broner?
