Comments Thread For: Klitschko To Return on December 10 - With or Without Joshua

[Boxing Goat]

Klit avoiding the biggest fight he can get just because the WBA isn't on the line smh.

December 10 looking stacked anyway

You can't question Wlad's motives. He's always fought all comers and is willing to fight a guy like Joshua at 40 years old. Wlad is what's right about boxing other than his safety first style. But really who can blame him after getting caught like he did against Sanders the way he did. He's evolved and is a better fighter now, even if not quite as exciting.

The fight has seemed like pie in the sky all along, but there is one similar example I can think of: Vitaly Klitschko-Lennox Lewis.

They were both scheduled for different opponents; I remember Kirk Johnson was one opponent I believe; and when those fights fell through, the fight was signed on a couple weeks' notice.

Incidentally, that fight involved a Brit and a Klit.

And the Brit won and in the process turned the bigger more powerful klithckos face into raw mince .....war Joshua

[Wicky]

This fight is Eddie Hearn's wet dream BS. It's all about money spinning opportunity and representing Joshua's interests (and therefore Hearn's financial interests). Luis Ortiz is next in line and he should get a crack at the title before Joshua.

What a load of waffle lol..klitchcko was the IBF champion way before he was WBA champion and if he wants to talk loyalty he was the WBO before that ...basically he would rather face an old Lucas Browne than have to face an Anthony Joshua for the IBF title.
I don't think klitchcko fancies stepping in the ring with Joshua at this stage of his career and I hope the WBA sanction this fight because it brings the undisputed title closer and not so fragmented......let's see what happens

Hold onto your horses Plunger.. Hearn knew it all along that there has to be another title on the line for this fight, like most UK fans you got played on.. If Wlad fights Joshua for IBF he will lose his rankings with WBA, then he cannot work his way up at 40.. Of all the things you can accuse Wlad of, you can never accuse him of ducking anyone...
Hearn promotes Ortiz too now right, Hearn should make a proposition with WBA if AJ-Wlad doesn't get sanctioned then Hearn should at least try Ortiz-Wlad

Let's hope WBA sanctions Wlad-AJ for the belt, then let's talk about how you can convert from GBP to USD for losing a bet with me..

[Burt Saxby]

Wlad thinks winning a belt against a nobody is better than beating a guy like Joshua. He has the heart of a business man , not an ATG Champion.

Hold on bongo if he beats Joshua he wins the IBF title so what's your point lol...if he fights for the WBA the he loses his ranking for the IBF.
He has been given an opportunity to fight for a world title guaranteed on Dec 10th but he would rather wait it out for a Lucas Browne or fres oquendo in the ring and go for the WBA route and he would make far more fighting Joshua than he would facing Browne or oquendo ....38 millions dollars split between them for this fight GTFOH

Oh FFS dude See the rankings : http://www.boxing.com/ranking
Wlad isn't ranked by IBF, don't you think a guy who has the best legal team in the boxing business would have thought about it.. SMDH

Dude if you think its all about the money for a guy who has ruled a division for a decade then you are plain ****** & wrong.. Ofcourse AJ is a big draw but he comes with 1 title, win WBA & call Hearn for unification & sell out a freakin stadium & whoop that boy's a$$ for all its worth..

His WBA strap won't be worth the paper its written on.

Imagine Mayweather fighting Paulie after he won the regular WBA against Senchenko.
Wlad fighting Browne would be worse than that.
