Anthony Joshua vs Parker a done deal

[TheBigLug]

Pretty certain itll be March 31st in Cardiff

Never expected them to do Cardiff twice in a row but it's possible. It seems the easier option if they want a stadium for it.

Wembley is available March 31st as Tottenham are away to Chelsea. Spurs are using Wembley this season but not sure they would be keen on a boxing match taking places on the pitch in the middle of the season but who knows. Wembley is only 10k more in capacity to they could sell it out.

Unless they just do a big indoor arena fight again rather than stadium, but at this point it's hard to imagine them doing 50k less tickets if they don't need to.

Think it just comes down to Cardiff having a roof again

So, Joshua will have fought more unification bouts (2) than Wilder will have fought even a C level opponent (0). LMAO.

[BrometheusBob.]

Is The Sun a reliable source? Why do I feel like they've been wrong before on fights?

Anyway, if true a great move for AJ. 2018 could be a huge year for him if he adds Wilder and/or Fury to the list and gets stoppages in a pair of watchable fights. (And that does seem possible)

Kinda feel bad for Wilder now with Povetkin and Ortiz fights falling through. The noise for AJ-Wilder would have been enormous if he fought in and won those fights (a big if, admittedly).

Unless 'C' stands for 'can' then I'd say he has fought quite a few C level opponents so far

[SkillspayBills]

Fellas do you understand what this means? By the end of 2018, there will be an undisputed Heavyweight champion of the world. The first one IN 18 FUCKING YEARS!!! History is about to be made by he end of next year. Damn I love boxing.

Comon now, why is it that when it comes to Wilder HE is the one that eats the blame for his opponents failing drug tests?

If GGG's fights against Canelo and Jacobs fell through because the latter two failed drug tests would you be making fun of GGG for it or would you be making fun of the people who pissed dirty?

Replace the names with any fighter and their last two opponent and it still holds, I bet.

Nah, they're absolute toilet.

I think they reported that Mayweather Khan got signed a couple of times.

It goes the other way too. GGG would have been criticized by the same people who defended Wilder.

The Ortiz one is just su****ious to me. A blood pressure pill and the WBC who allowed Nery to keep a title after steroids and Vargas to fight Salido for "contaminated meat".

Anyway point still stands. Wilder has the weakest resume of any title holder in boxing.

100% in Cardiff for that reason.

Has there ever been an outdoor boxing event in January, February, March in Britain?

Must have been on the olden days. But those people were always cold and wet so they didn't mind. We're made of softer stuff now
