    I bet we get Joshua vs Wilder now

    Why risk derailing a super fight on a risk like Povetkin? Hearn is smarter than that. Should be pretty dope.....

      Yea, makes sense. Hearn doesn't care what boxing fan's think though, he knows he can make AJ v Whyte 2, sell out a stadium and come up with some BS excuse.

        I don't think he can get away with AJ vs Whyte 2 right now.

          ' Listen, Anthony wanted to fight Deontay, they refused to be realistic and priced themselves out, the backup plan was Povetkin who wanted to fight in Russia, Why would we got to Russia? We're selling out 80,000+ people, im sure povetkin wanted to fight, its a huge opportunity for him, but we were not able to work with the people around him'

          ' Dillian Whyte is a top 5 heavyweight, it's a dangerous fight, the first fight was a classic, and let's not forget Dillian was very green and had a shoulder injury, we could of chosen a less riskier fight but we want to put on the best available fight, Anthony will fight anyone!'

            I'm pretty sure that he means since Povetkin is now AJ's mandatory, only a fight with Wilder gets him out of it. If he fights anybody else, he gets stripped of his belt. There's nothing eddie perm can do about it.

              So they'll drop the belt. He's already mentioned doing that several times.

                To fight Whyte? Again? Not happening...they'll look worse than they already do.

                  Maybe not! They'll pay him a huge chunk of change to step aside and fight any stiff he wants.

                    Yea I agree. You'll see how bad Hearn doesn't wanna fight Wilder if THEY DO fight Povetkin. Cuz Povetkin is for sure less reward for a nice risk himself. Or bigger risk cuz some dudes around here contend Povetkin still woulda beaten Wilder so who really knows yet.

                    I think they need to embrace all the connectivity of the HW division right now. Have Joshua vs Wilder as the main. Whyte vs Big Baby as the co-main. And Povetkin vs Malik Scott or someone a lil sketchy like that as a featured fight. HW trifecta with all guys who'll be in play for the next 12 mos vs whoever wins.
