Comments Thread For: Hearn Concerned: Joshua Taking Risk With Miller in His Backyard

[JakeTheBoxer]

What risk? I am pretty sure there will be a rematch clause i contract, in case Joshua loses.

You have to beat him twice if you want his belts.

[jackblack008]

last week he was concerned Joshua is taking risk fighting Whyte. now its Miller. Its understood why he dint go for Luis ortiz

Will they also have a doctor at ringside, ready to jump up and call a break to give AJ time to recover if he gets rocked by Miller?

Pretty sure. Its standard practice in New York. They have done it for plenty of other fighters. Have seen done in other states as well.

They did offer to come to America most of the later offers last year had a second leg in the US.

Post the Fury fight Finkel asked Hearn for 1st leg US , so Hearn called his bluff and offered that in the last offer after which according to Hearn the line went dead and Shelley refused to even acknowledge his phone calls .

Hearn has stated this several times, Finkel has not denied it and Wilder publicly announced he would not fight AJ for two years.

No way would Wilder risk Joshua even with the judges from the Fury match they couldn't save him from being knocked out.

Wilders entire boxrec says he avoids every risk he can.

I dunno man... I feel like he's only doing it because Hearn wont need to pay off anyone to get by Miller. Why didn't they offer to come to the U.S. for Wilder? Probably because Hearn knows he needs to have things swung in AJs favor against Wilder and Hearn isn't connected in the U.S. like he is in the U.K. to be able to pull strings. I am glad to see AJ is finally fighting in America though. Just wouldnt give em too much credit yet.

Two fights ago Miller was out of the picture and according to Hearn 'far from ready for A.J.' Now with Miller having fought two nobodies Joshua is taking a risk with Miller. Miller is the least risk rated fight out there and that is why this is happening 1/11 on Eddie ! If Eddie and accountant pop see this as a risk then it's no wonder they were shyting themselves at the prospect of facing Wilder.

A proper pair of clowns!

IDK??? I say Whyte/Miller 50/50. And I would take Ortiz over both if made this year.

Joshua defending his belt round the world when Wilder who has been the champion much longer cowers at home behind dodgy decisions. Will Wilder ever be brave enough to leave the safety of the States ........ unlikely.

huge balls on anthony joshua!!!

takes huge balls to turn down 50 mil

then tell the fans the fight must be in the UK while also telling them they dont determine his career and that they should train to fight wilder if its so easy

takes big balls to do stuff like that and still expect people to like and believe you

The first time Miller lands a clean punch the referee is going to be looking to disqualify him

[Willowthewisp]

Jarrell "why not?" Miller
