That aint what Eddie was saying tho.He didn't need extra time to prepare for Wilder. They didn't want AJ vs Wilder in Sept because it would be PPV in the States and it would have clashed with GGG vs Canelo.
AJ trains 10 to 12 weeks for his fights. There would have been enough time for him to get a 12 week camp in before Sept 22nd.
Eddie was saying AJ needed extra time.
This is a BoxingScene article from June 19th:
Hearn wants Joshua to have a proper training camp for this contest - so he won't allow the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world champion to fight Wilder with a shortened camp.
He feels an eight week camp would not be enough for a fight of this magnitude.
"I'm not letting Anthony Joshua fight this fight with an eight-week camp, because this is everything, this fight," Hearn told Sky Sports.
"Everything that he's built towards, his whole professional career, maybe his whole boxing career is built towards this moment. We're not just going to go 'oh yeah, let's just dive in and do it on a date that doesn't give us the best prep time.
"I think more realistically, October, November is a solution, but that does rule out the place where we wanted to stage it, which is Wembley, so lots to try and resolve, but we want the fight, we're prepared to sign for the fight now. They'll see the contract, they won't see anything out of the ordinary, then we'll go from there."
The clock is still ticking to finalize a unification showdown between heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Their contest was initially targeted for September 15 - but that date is apparently out the window as the negotiations have continued to drag out - and to make matters worse the Gennady Golovkin-Canelo Alvarez rematch was finalized for the same date on HBO Pay-Per-View.Comment

That article was from June - 17 weeks before the Sept date.
Why would Hearn be saying AJ needs extra time 17 weeks out?
And nowhere there does he say they would need more time to prepare for Wilder than for Povetkin. All he's saying is that if AJ is going to fight in Sept they will need more than 8 weeks to prepare for it.
And they've got more than 8 weeks. The fight date is still 12 weeks away.Comment

June 19th is a little over 13 weeks from a Sept 22nd date, which is when he is fighting Povetkin.
So yeah, Hearn IS saying they need more time to prepare for Wilder, since he is saying a Wilder fight won't be until October or November.
Of course, we know he never meant to make ANY fight with Wilder under any circumstances next sooooo...Comment

You find it amusing that I keep catching you giving out false information?
You find it amusing that anyone can see you do that constantly out of an emotional attachment that has little or nothing to do with facts?
OK...Comment
