i hope it's pulev

who is it this time anthony? The local corner shop owner or the hot dog seller down the road? My mates 2-0-0 fighting outside the pub on a saturday night, could fight him?

Got a gut feeling it ends up being Price or Molina. This date sucks though, last week of CFB regular season. Wish it had been a week earlier.

Edit: That's the Ward/Kovalev date though isn't it? Too bad. Will be the first Joshua fight I've missed since Sprott.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is one of these guys. Price & Joshua have a little history & it might do ok in the UK. Molina's stock has risen the last few years after a good fight with Wilder & a few wins over faded names like Williamson, Grano & Adamek. I don't think either deserves it at all. Pulev or Parker are the only 2 guys that should be considered. Parker is the mandatory & Pulev is the Euro Champ & he is highly rated by all bodies. The problem with Pulev is he is not a draw much like Ortiz. I hope it's Pulev but I have my doubts. We will soon see who it is...

Jarrell Miller wants some...

B. Ware should get another shot...

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Price would be a ridiculous choice and get blown out within 2. I like Price, but he's no heavyweight boxer.

Isn't Bermane fighting Povetkin for a interim title or whatever? And isn't Parker looking towards more fights before fighting Joshua? Pulev would be a good guy to fight doe.

Pulev would be a good fight, but now, with the fight apparently not being at the O2, the issue now becomes where is Matchroom Sport going to stage the fight; Joshua is a massive name in the UK, but I doubt that Joshua-Pulev is a big enough fight for Wembley (how Joshua's support would transfer to Manchester also gives me a little pause for the MEN Arena).

An interesting move, in my opinion, would be if Matchroom uses this coming date to see how Anthony Joshua could do in the US; Joshua's money market is still the UK right now (likely necessitating another day/night doubleheader, al a Frampton and Chavez Jr), but that's not much an issue.

Barclays Center doesn't seem to have a big even planned for November just yet.

the heavyweight division is becoming really good, but for boxing to start making a name again for itself these guys need to start fighting each other: wilder, fury, joshua, povetkin, ortiz, etc.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Just thinking... if Haye has gone back in his word then there's a guy screaming out for a title shot...

LET'S GO CHAMP
LET'S GO CHAMP

[juggernaut666]

it doesn't matter really...Joshua will go undefeated and maybe the best HW in history......
