Comments Thread For: Joshua-Klitschko II - Frontrunner is Las Vegas, Says Hearn

Kid.. don't kid yourself.. I explained to you in detail of what he is capable of at 41yrs & 17 months lay off..

The fight is in November & that is because AJ wants it in November.. So are you telling me that he got whooped so bad that he needs 7 months to recover?

Like Hearn said in the interview himself, Wlad wants it to be a better event than what they did at Wembley so Cardiff, Nigeria & Dubai are not going to be so easy to break the Wembley night..

He's sooooo confident that he’d 50/50 LMAO.

Did I miss the news of Klitschko calling in the rematch clause? I thought that was still up in the air. Or is this just "in theory" if Klitschko says yes then Vegas is among the favored venues?

Been a while since a proper heavyweight title fight was in Las Vegas.

Maybe there might be a slight bit of a chance Klitschko's manager has an idea about Klitschko's intentions on a rematch.

Maybe Anthony Joshua actually is coming to America. Becoming a massive mainstream star in the United Kingdom seemingly made it less likely that Joshua would make his debut in the United States anytime soon. But promoter Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports News HQ in an interview Wednesday that Las Vegas has emerged as "a frontrunner" to become the site for Joshua's immediate rematch against former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

At least it sounds like it's happening

Its about time Joshua auditions for Deontay Wilder like these Britts been telling the Bombsquad that Deontay needs to go to the UK *puke!* they need to accept that LAS VEGAS U.S.A is the Mecca of boxing - no more UK refs and Judges and hometown support ; lets see how Joshua handles the pressure of traveling and defending on the foreign soil.

Klitsckho is experienced on the road and knows that the next time he puts Anthony down he wont make it out of the round.

Klitschko won't commit to a rematch until venues etc are explored as that'll give an indication of the kind of money he can expect and overall event.

Essentially Hearn has to put a package to Klitschko, then Klitschko decides whether he wants it or wants to retire.

If it really is Vegas that they opt for i'm very doubtful he retires when there's an option of headlining a mega fight on the strip. Same for Dubai and possibly Nigeria to be fair, they'd both be huge. Cardiff and I reckon Klitschko would pass though.

**** Joshua looking to become a bigger name than wilder in his own country lol.

Wilder doesn't want to do anything to make the fight bigger looks like it's left to aj again. Wilder might be looking at a 70/30 split unless he starts making some moves.
