Predicting Anthony Joshua's 2019

[The Big Dunn]

I've thought that for Hearn to satisfy DAZN in the states with the deal he has, he may need Joshua to fight in America once a year. And even if it isn't once a year, definitely some fights in America opposed to none right now. Miller fight does make sense, especially in NY. And if Wilder beats Fury in the rematch and Joshua fights in NY around the same time? Wow, that fight will get INSANE hype.

True. I just don't see why AJ would fight Pulev other than its the mando. That fight is a huge step backwards with Ortiz, Fury and Wilder out there that he hasn't fought.

He can get away with fighting Whyte and rational people will understand fighting Miller given what you said in this post. After that, he needs to fight the wilder/Fury winner or at worst Ortiz.

Yeah I doubt DAZN gave him all that money because he landed Danny Jacobs lol. Secretly I'm sure Hearn wants Wilder to build his name..

Oh, of course he wants Wilder. That was one of his big targets. But that's long gone now. That ship has passed as well as with the other PBC fighters. But he desperately wanted Joshua/Wilder on DAZN. That would have helped bring in subscribers. Canelo along with GBP going to DAZN definitely helped though. And a trilogy with GGG would do good business for them.

But he would fight him because it IS the mandatory though. Dude has three belts and he will have to face his mandatories if he isn't facing Wilder...I'm sure they may make an exception for Fury, but they won't for Miller. Eventually he will have to face those guys unless they accept step aside money.

I can envision a AJ/Miller card from MSG and then a week or 2 later Wilder/Kownacki from Barclays to build hype for an AJ/Wilder fight, assuming Wilder beats Fury in the rematch.

April: Amir Mansour
September: David Price

If Wilder beats Fury or even if Fury beats Wilder, the winner will have to fight Breazeale. Dude isn't going to step aside any longer after the rematch.

If he can't secure Fury or Wilder then I hope he fights three times in 2019. Whyte II, Pulev and Usyk would be a good lineup

[Dodger07]

I think it will be Whyte 2 and Miller. AJ is going to want to establish some name recognition in the US by beating a US guy on US soil. Miller seems the perfect opponent for an MSG card given he is from New York. That was the fight HBO was moving toward.

This makes sense. Whyte 2 would be a big fight in the UK, and Miller in NY would be a good US debut for Joshua (other than Wilder of course.) Makes business sense for Hearn too because all 3 fighters are in his stable and he keeps all the $$ in house.

I predict he will make a **** load of money

Good long talk with @anthonyfjoshua ... my impression after it is that even though there are some talks now with @BronzeBomber I’d expect him to fight White at @wembleystadium April 13, then a U.S. debut @TheGarden vs. @BIGBABYMILLER around September and then Wilder in 2020...

Pretty much this. Wilder would have to beat Fury in a rematch of course, but Joshua isn't getting neither until 2020.
