    Where should Joshua vs Klitschko 2 take place?

    I feel like the US would be a good choice (New York or Vegas) China or Japan would be a good idea, I feel like they should start tapping into them markets.

    Germany seems kind of pointless from AJ and Hearn's perspective because the German fans watched the last one. from Wlad's perspective it might be his last fight so he'd probably wanna fight there.

    I'd say the US would be my pick, may aswell get them onboard early as possible.

    Edit: Have it in the US, have Wilder on the undercard and then get in the ring to announce fight between them for next year,

    I am not a big fan of outdoor stadium events, the atmosphere always seems very poor! due to the noises dissipating into the open air! I would say staging the fight at the millennium stadium, with the roof shut! Is a smart move by Eddie Hearn.....

      I'm starting to think they may be going to the US with it, November's too late for a stadium fight in the UK, no? Then there was that article yesterday saying Hearns getting it put in the contract that Yafai faces Rungvisai/Gonzalez winner next, theres your main undercard fight.

        I dont care where its held just as long as the main fight starts around 10-11pm on my tv. I cant tell you how many fights ive had to wait up till 3-4am for just to please the usa tv market. Now the boots on the other foot and i want it to stay that way.

            I can see the pickle here. Ofcourse it would be great to have 100.000+ in England again, but it would so some serious work on the mainstream USA to have the fight there.

              I think a USA fight would be a good move for them financially, may as well crack that market with a fight like this & really work on the promotion leading up to it.

                Only concern is whats in it for Wlad, presume he'll be getting less money so that Joshua can break the US

                  Wherever Joshua wants it to be. He won. He's the a-side.

                  He's probably thinking about which venue will be the best in terms of his career in the longer term. Market exposure and all of that.

                  Or perhaps he is looking at it totally differently. He could choose to do something local for himself, to reward his fans for their loyalty. Or he could just choose whoever offers him the fattest cheque up front.

                  He won, so he is in charge, and he can do what he likes.

                    Does he even have a say in this, now that he is the loser? I don't know.
