Joshua - Big Baby signed. Fight at MSG in June

I can't believe Dillian Whyte priced himself out of the fight. What an idiot.

I agree. A chance to beat the number 1 heavyweight in the world and be very well paid and he says no.

[Toffee]

I'm surprised how long it took people to pick up on Hearn saying that if you signed up for DAZN in May you'd get the following fights within a month... and he included Joshua on June 1... then tried to backtrack a bit after he'd given it away.

I can't believe Dillian Whyte priced himself out of the fight. What an idiot.

He thought he had AJ over a barrel.

When someone points a gun at you, pull out a bigger gun or call their bluff.

Whyte is undoubtedly the one who ends up looking ******. If, and it's a big if, he still ends up getting his shot later it will be for less money.

This was the only way AJ could play it. If people are going to hold out for unrealistic money, then show them you are prepared to walk away. It's a voluntary defence after all.

This is a huge fight and Whyte will be watching on (PPV) TV.

You said you weren't a fan of the sport. Now you are? When are you going to stop spinning your lies?

it's not my fault you don't know what words mean.

when i attend an event, i attend as a credentialed journalist or as a promoter, not as a fan.

when wilder fights fury next, you're going to have to reveal your true identity and post a picture of yourself.

and you can't try to claim that i was going to weasel out of the bet if i lost, because i already revealed my identity and posted a picture of myself.

so you're in checkmate now.

Well DAZN might be happy with Hearn over there but I doubt Sky sport would be over here. They have just lost a guarantee 1m plus buys for the April date. I can see some issues with Sky sports and Hearn over DAZN pretty soon.

Sky are well aware that it was likely he would be having fights abroad for some time irrelevant of DAZN. In some ways I actually think DAZN plans in their favour as going forwards there will be more up fights using DAZN than others like showtime. The reason is simply down to ppv; if it was on showtime and Joshua becomes big enough he would ppv in America ; where as with DAZN it will
Make sense even when the brand is grown more to do uk fights with ppv and then DAZN.

Interested to see how uk ppv does in middle of the night, it wouldn’t surprise me if he still gets close to 500k.

it's been widely reported the fight is most likely june 1. if it does end up being june 8, i might be able to make it.

Fair dos. If it’s on June the 8th I might make the trip over myself as that’s my birthday

[redmish]

Interesting fight. Miller isn't hard to hit so the first thing that will be tested is his chin. He's never been hit with this power before. If it holds up, this fight could get interesting late on. AJ by KO within 7.

[blue_dolphin]

Fat ass Miller will rely on his fat rolls to absorb punches. let's see if the strategy works. but he needs to protect his chin big time. AJ can fold him in half if lands flush.

[JWHardin]

Breaking: Anthony Joshua and Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller have agreed to terms for a heavyweight championship fight at New York’s Madison Square Garden, per sources. The fight will be streamed on DAZN and likely take place June 1, but June 8 also in play. Will be Joshua’s U.S. debut

Date not set but I don't mind this fight at all.

Who's next for Whyte? Breazeale?

Since Ortiz has a fight signed, its about time for Whyte to call him out again.

[LacedUp]

BB Miller has a bigger chance than most think if he has a chin.

He could exhaust AJ in 5-6 rounds and then what? this is a guy someone like Fury would beat with absolute ease, and probably wouldn't even get touched in 12 rounds. To me it seems like Miller is not a great match up for AJ.
