Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Wilder Happens Where Anthony Wants it to Happen

[sportbuddha]

The only part of the quote worth listening to was Hearn saying it’s the job of managers and promoters to make their fighters as much money as possible for the risks they take. This is why Hearn has a growing stable of decent fighters, cos he’s smart and uses opportunities to speak to boxers he manages and might be trying to sign as much as he does to fans.

Wilder's jab, fast feet and sledgehammer punch should make him the winner against Joshua. I agree that AJ has superior boxing skills but once he is hit good (and he will be hit) he will be in a world of trouble.

AJ has terrible boxing skills, stiff robotic and limited.

As a neutral but UK born, this fight should happen in Vegas, it will be more epic and make the sport bigger by bringing back mainstream attention to heavyweight championship.
With these 2 characters (could say 3) im pretty sure it will achieve that elusive breakthrough for casuals.
Sure if it's in the UK it's the final nail in Joshua taking over UK airwaves and making Eddie's job there easier for future defences

But I think Eddie and Joshua should reach out and have a sense of history , if this fight is in Vegas it's massive , historic maybe.
But if there's a rematch clause it should be in the opposite place. So whatever.

If AJ wants to be a world wide star he does it in Vegas.
I don’t think Wilder would have any advantage anyway since he doesn’t fight often on the West Coast.
It would even be great if they did it on some neutral sight like a rumble in the jungle

I agree, for Joshua it shows he's bold and not a homer, it will really make him a US name, for Wilder he will perfect for a Vegas fight with his personality.
It's just got more potential than being another big UK stadium fight.
Joshua will continue to grow in UK but there's more potential to move him here and it looks good that he came over to try and conquer

I think a neutral venue like Nigeria or whatever is better once he's a world star. This is the perfect fight to bring heavyweight boxing back to USA, a unification.
