Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Must Fight Povetkin This Year; Wants It In the UK

[angkag]

But if Price wins, will he be the mandatory?

Not sure, but I think so.

It must be said, it does seem like whatever plan is laid out for Joshua, his biggest challenge isn’t part of it.

Correct. I assume you mean Wilder by biggest challenge, and we may have to sit through Povetkin, Miller, Whyte 2 before we get to Wilder.

Of course that assumes Joshua beats them all, including Parker, but if he does, it means Wilder has to find something to do over the next 24 months while Hearn milks the biggest gravy train on the planet (and Joshua does well enough out of it that he won't be complaining).

Said before, but best thing Wilder can do is get over to the UK and make a couple of highlight reel KOs (starting with Whyte) to get the UK public baying for him to fight Joshua, then not so easy for Hearn to keep making side-roads.

If Wilder stays in Alabama mouthing off, that suits Hearn just fine.

That's why Hearn's comment of 'if Wilder doesn't fight Whyte he will have to wait till Oct/Nov/Dec for Joshua' is such bs. Well, unless he means Oct/Nov/Dec 2019 or 2020, in which case he's telling it straight.

Povetkin should be a really good fight. I know they have talked about going abroad for fights but not sure they would want to do it in Russia? I imagine this will be at Wembley then they will head to America in the autumn , maybe against Baby Miller? If wilder changes his views then maybe that fight can be squeezed in but I suspect he will be busy talking and then fighting bums.

And the truth shall set you free.

Yes it does

I had that same look when I read this article!

Yeah, it's obvious now.

[True That]

Ok, Eddie you're pissing me off now.

The WBA is giving you an exception to not fight the mandatory and fight Wilder instead.

Hearn said out of his own mouth that if Wilder is next after Parker that the Joshua-Wilder fight would be towards the end of the year around October, November, December.

But here he is talking about fighting Povetkin, SMH.

I can't defend this any more. And it's time to be critical.

In all honesty bar Parker there isn't any other Heavyweight that can cause much of a problem for AJ maybe Wilder because of his punch power... The heavyweight quality is really poor AJ is above everyone else and imo we'll see a good fight tonight.

[A.K]

Would be an excellent fight!


But Parker is the next as for right now, shouldn't be overlooked.

You’re cucking hard so let’s overlook wilder huh

Whyte would beat Wilder so Joshua don't have to.
