He hasn’t “bids” every fights from multiple.
Probably America, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England! Haha
This isn’t really a fight to try a new place out so will be either spurs wembley millenium stadium or a return to msg.Comment

Agree.
This ain't the old days where you could find some dictator to pay you 3x more than the fight was worth either. Plus you'd get bad PR from it unlike back in the day.
Its a virtual lock this fight happens in the US or UK.Comment

Nigeria would be one of them, he always says this every time for the last two years 😂Comment

It's a forgone conclusion. They are going to run it back here in the U.S. Because DAZN has made AJ an offer that he couldn't refuse and Matchroom couldn't have been more happy for Anthony Joshua's decision.
That's right they are following the money trail. Which ever venue and platform offers them the most money that is where the rematch will take place. I bet you DAZN has probably offered AJ upwards to $40-$50mil to the stage the fight at MSG.
It's why AJ delayed his trip back home to the U.K In order to iron out the fine details of the DAZN's deal with Eddie Hearn.Comment
