Comments Thread For: Hearn: Sky Rejected Fury-Klitschko - They See Joshua as The Future

[Vinnykin]

They're using their Sky platform and Anthony Joshua's popularity to go head to head with Boxnation and at the same time outdo Tyson Fury. Hearn will push a Chisora fight or someone of that calibre at Wembley and the casual fans will eat it up. It will probably do bigger numbers than Fury/Klitschko as well as the first fight wasn't a crowd pleaser. I was invested in the fight and enjoyed the performance and build-up etc but I can understand why people said it was boring, same thing is said about Mayweather but I have watched all his fights so.....

After hearing this news I subscribed to Boxnation as the schedule is worth it Imo. There's Spence/Algieri 16th Golovkin/Wade 23rd Saunders/Bursak 30th Canelo/Khan May 7th Wilder/Povetkin May 21st and Fury/Klit July 9th. £50 for 4 months of boxing. **** Sky! As a boxing fan I'd rather watch Fury/Klitschko than another bull**** fight like last night, A champion freezing like that is embarrassing and only proved Martin to be a bottler no matter how much talent he supposedly had

I actually like Joshua but the hype is starting to get to me. All I've seen online since Joshua beat that bum is how he's going to beat Fury and he's the best HW on the planet when he hasn't even fought any one that could fight back apart from Dillian Whyte. He's a paper champ with a meaningless belt and if Eddie Hearn sticks to his word and they fight Fury later this year then I'll be proved right. I guarantee he has 2 easy fights then fights the Parker/Takam winner though

Stiverne it is.

Stiverne it is.

As a first defence that wouldn't be a bad match ....Wilder couldn't move him

How long can he beat drug testing for though? It's inevitable

I would've rejected it too. After that first trash fight they don't deserve to be on TV at all. Worst heavyweight title fight ever. Zero highlights from that fight. They looked like two bears fighting. Throwing wide punches and crashing into each other clinching. Joshua is out here knocking people out giving fans what they pay for. Joshua is the future of Heavyweight boxing. Klitschko-Fury reminds us of why most people tuned out the Heavyweight division

Anyone would knock out Joshua's opponents... Don't play dumb

People tuned out of the heavyweight division because of lack of KOs? For most of his career Wladimir maintained an 80-90% KO percentage. All of his fights were KOs.

They tuned out because unrelatable Eastern Europeans were ****ting in their mouths and they felt like cucks watching their guys lose over and over. No other reason really.

If anybody could knock out Joshua's last four opponents why was he the first to do it? Kevin Johnson had fought Chisora, Fury, and Vitali and had never been stopped.

If you're actually being serious

Vitali fought this young undefeated world title challenger Kevin Johnson:



Joshua fought this washed up journeyman/diver Kevin Johnson:



Unfortunately I think you're at least partially correct. Joshua is giving the people what they want -- a pitbull slapping around bait dogs, being fed easy highlights.

Vitali fought a prospect who was fighting his first 12 round fight. Joshua fought a seasoned vet who had been in there with the best and had never been stopped. If Joshua would've UD'd him that wouldn't have been impressive. We'd seen Fury, Chisora, Vitali beat Johnson before. What we hadn't seen was Johsnon being stopped. Joshua did what Fury and Klitschko couldn't do. Great fighters do that

A lesser fighter also gets knocked out by a better one, especially one that hits like a truck. That's all it was.

I'm no more a fan of Martin than I am of Joshua... but geez, you don't even understand, but that's ok.

Just ask any decent trainer, it's the first thing they do after round 1 is try to get their fighter calmed down if they have a case of the nerves. But hey, you go right ahead and keep thinking AJ is superman.
