Joshua vs Klitschko: Where's The Hype?

the arena will do just fine. we're still in the American based fight hype week!

I don't know, but I'm more hyped for Joshua vs. Wlad than any other announced fight this year.

Can't wait to see how much Klitschko has left in the tank.

Tickets are nigh on sold out.. the ppv is british and will likely smash over 800k buys.

Both boxers opt to for the respectable approach rather than say theyll put the other in a coma then conveniently forget their hatred at the bell. Its actually quite refreshing from the usual bollocks.

It'll do just fine. The worrying thought is klitschko winning and the heavyweight division losing alot of lustre that aj's casual fans bring to it

Klitschko will be 40 and hasn't fought in 17 months.

I kind of see it like Bhop (2 yr layoff at 50, practically retired) vs Smith.

History will know Kovalev and Fury retired them.

Joshua and Smith were just one last paycheck.

Maybe I was spoilt by the Haye-Bellew build up, but wtf is up with these two? They need to sell the fight more, trash each other...it's all so civil and boring. More on the line, yet I haven't met anyone who talks about this one. Weeks before Haye-Bellew everyone I ran to was talking abou this fight. I hope the fight isn't a huge bore too.

I'm the biggest Wlad fan ever and ik this fight will be a clinch fest, have you seen how Joshua fought in the amateur's?? He's chin is worst than David Price's chin, he was dropped by 16oz gloves several times

AJ and Wlad are personality vacuums

I think Fury vs Haye is the true biggest fight in British boxing, or would've been before Haye lost to Bummer Bellew

It'll still undoubtedly do 800k+ PPV sales at �20 each though (real numbers not Hearn numbers)

Casuals bring the hype come fight week.

Dust Settling in from the March madness.. this would be next on radar.. you don't see new threads here about them but sky has been working on making the behind the ropes and gloves are off which would probably air a week before the fight..
Wlad training in Kiev and sky team visited him there.. AJ has been posting his acupuncture and other stuff on his instagram..

Can't wait for this fight...
War Wlad!!

They are both boring and have zero personality...could be the reason why?
