Comments Thread For: Joshua-Povetkin Officially Announced; 9/22 at Wembley Stadium

IDK what hes doing , putting it on DAZN is the smart move for his platform .

... that's exactly what Hearn proposed -- and what made Wilder (and his handlers) crazy...

Wilder situation aside, this is a good fight that should entertain, as long as AJ doesn’t go into ‘finesse’ mode like he did vs Parker.

Povetkin is obviously on the decline but we shouldn’t overstate it. Ortiz was also on the decline after failed PED tests, was old, had looked lacklustre in previous fights, and look how the Wilder fight turned out. Povetkin may well rediscover something being an underdog and fighting for 3 belts.

He has been one of the top HWs for most of the last decade and you can’t write that kind of experience off.

AJ is what u call a real champ taking on all opposition never backing down hes a true heavyweight hero unlike others who love to talk about it on social media like Instagram models 🤣

Now get your head out his rear, scum bag!!!

What fight are you talking about ?

[BWC]

Not the worst fight in the world but AJ should win pretty easily.

Wilder takes out Breazeale and maybe they'll actually get down to business..

[Straightener]

Not the fight we wanted but still a decent scrap

Hopefully Joshua doesn’t get injured and we can get the main event in April

Hopefully wilder breezes past breezele and we get to see the top two at it

The furious one is getting in shape too think we’ve got a decent couple of years to look forward too . Whyte fury would be epic if Whyte does a job n Parker (I think he will) . Good stuff

I expect AJ to dominate POvetkin and KO him before round 8. this should set up the Wilder fight.

[Vinnykin]

Looking forward to this fight! at this stage Joshua is still improving and I'll be interested to see how he deals with Povetkin, who I rate highly, he's a much better all-round boxer than Wilder but without the size and reach.

Povetkin is explosive from mid-range and inside, this will test Joshua's defence and ability to fight and tie-up inside.

[P4Pdunny]

Good test, AJ needs to fight like the bigger man and he should have this one

Fighting the man wilder ducked

Whilst wilder fights an aj left over

Sounds about right
