Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Klitschko Rematch is Full Steam Ahead, Says Hearn

[NaijaD]

Mannnn I really don't care much for this one, it's not as pointless as the Kovalev-Pascal rematch but what can Wlad do to win, he had his chance in the first fight..... he's not getting that good an opportunity the second time round.

Not surprised...

Great news, the first fight was class and Klitschko is still dangerous.

I have a feeling this one won't be in the UK! Even though i feel like Eddie Hearn personally wants it at Cardiff! I feel like Joshua, will want this next fight in america.

I hope it's in America. We need a big heavyweight fight.

Misleading headline considering it says this in the article:

"The situation is the fight is happening unless we are told otherwise by Bernd Boente and Wladimir Klitschko, who have a meeting this week."

So Klitschko hasn't actually confirmed the fight yet, but most likely will this week. Hopefully the fight is over in the States as that'd be a pretty good way to promote Joshua over there.

LOL that's a great analogy actually. I like it.

Not super excited for this cuz I'd kinda prefer Joshua to move onward & I'd mostly like Klitschko go out on one of the best performances in his career that I just can't see him duplicating. BUT I understand this situation in general cuz it was a back n forth fight where I think Klitschko EASILY could have came out on top if he'd merely pushed himself a lil more/take a lil more risk when he had Joshua hurt.

I'm expecting a much easier fight for Joshua this time off of that tough last fight really bumping up his fight IQ & experience a massive amount. But even if he loses a rematch I expect a 3rd fight will go down & Joshua would come out on top there. I guess that's why I'm ultimately not a fan of this fight cuz I feel like the writing is on the wall for Klitschko & this is ultimately a losing battle he's fighting, but its for a sh^tload of money & if he can beat Joshua in the rematch it will enhance his legacy in boxing.

And lets be real by fight night, while I'm against this fight now cuz I'd prefer the overall story of Klitschko walking away after such a great night & effort, I'll be mad excited cuz this fight is going to be a giant event that will still have solid potential to be as entertaining as the first go around.

Money talks. No doubt Vegas is going to throw up a boatload of cash for the rematch, and Wlad just won't be able to refuse.

Cardiff was always a ****** idea. No doubt Matchroom and probably AJ want it there, but Wlad is going to take a one look at the money being offered elsewhere and say hellz no to the UK..

I just saw the skysports interview: Hearn: Wlad rematch next for AJ

He does say They are waiting to hear from Bonete if there are any change of plans, Team Pulev have put in their objection for the fight, that IBF will give their verdict this week.. From what I infer it is the same update as of last 2-3 weeks, Sky just changed the words most probable to confirmed..
