Comments Thread For: Nelson: Povetkin is a Serious, Serious Threat For Anthony Joshua

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Joshua will fight Alexander Povetkin at Wembley in September, promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed on Monday. IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO champion Joshua and Hearn had earlier announced dates for two fights at the national stadium in London, with bouts on September 22 this year and April 13, 2019.

Hey Johnny, what do you think of Breazeale vs Wilder then?

[BoxingJunkie]

And Nelson is seriously, seriously exaggerating! But whatever it takes to sell tickets I guess...

[TheCell8]

He's a much bigger threat than Joseph Parker that's for sure.

[Jimmy gold]

Johnny Nelson
April 26, 2018:

If they have offered a deal of $50m and AJ is in a position to take it, I cannot see him not accepting, because he's a proud man. He's not going to say no, in my opinion. This is what he said: 'Give me $50m and the fight is on'

What sounds impossible is the money, but I'm hearing from different sources coming from America that it's 100 per cent legit, there's $50m there. If that $50m clears, I can see this happening in the summer, either in Las Vegas or Wembley. It sounds too good to be true, but on this occasion, it could be true. If it is, don't be surprised by the end of the week, if we're announcing a date for the fight.

Sorry Johnny, you were WRONG!

[Marvlus Marv]

Come on, David Price was a ball hair away from waxing Povetkin. Pretty sure AJ can deal with him tidily.

I agree with Nelson that Povetkin is a serious threat. I said this a week ago that Hearn & A.J seemed to be disregarding Povetkin as a threat. They are more concerned about the Wilder fight & they may be getting a little ahead of themselves by asking Wilder to sign the contract for an April date. This has upset written all over it but it could just as easily end up like the Klitschko/Povetkin fight...

[Vinnykin]

If johnny Nelson says Povetkin is a threat, then I take back my similar prediction.... Joshua wins easily.
