Comments Thread For: Hearn Names Possible UK Venues For Joshua-Ruiz Rematch

[Califire209]

It's not about making a statement, it's about not tucking your tail between your legs and running back to your own country when you failed at your American debut takeover..
If Joshua runs back to the UK he should never return back to the States

The noble thing to do is fight at MSG but Fight him in the U.K. ..Joshua is my boy but he can’t be trusted to go out to the states and not make a mockery of this great nation. First it was Boris , now my own brother wants to be a corpse. Have the fight here where I can watch over you. He has to lose at least 8-10 pounds too. Also those robocop reactions need to be improved

I can’t think of any other big stadium that has a roof that shuts .....

Wembley only covers the spectators so the the ring would be exposed to the elements . Not what you want in November / December

OK... Tell me, then, what's the "truth" -- based on past fights...

there is no law that says fights cant take place in a stadium when its raining

u know they cover the ring right

It would be crazy if Joshua loses the rematch. It would be great for PBC though. Wilder would be able to go for the lineal title vs. Fury or the undisputed title vs. Ruiz if he beats Ortiz again. Will be an interesting December that's for sure.

I have a new nickname for Eddie Hearn, Bullshit Eddie! That's his new nickname and this is typical Bullshit Eddie. Obviously, Matchroom is going to follow the money trail by going to the highest bidder. In this case the highest bidder is DAZN. So if DAZN wants the fight staged in America, then America is where the fight will be staged.

The air is not good in the US, the rematch must be done in the UK where the air is purer and better quality and like that AJ will have all the oxygen to win

It’s planned for November or December in the Uk

It will be freezing ha

[OldTerry]

If the rematch is in the UK and it is an obviously disputed win by Joshua then the tarnish to Joshua's image will be really bad. If Joshua wins by KO or actually out boxes Ruiz then no problem. I can absolutely understand Joshua wanting the second fight at MSG

[OgTripleOg]

Hearn wants the rematch to be in the UK so AJ can be juiced up again. UKAD permits ‘certain’ things to pass. AJ knows VADA would have busted his ass. Hope Ruiz destroys him again.

Not only this.

He'll have advantages from that ref that lets him rip off his tape to take a break, or that ref that lets him spit out his mouthpiece to take a break.

Joshua seemed scared on fight night. If he can't handle that pressure and can only feel "comfortable" in his home town...it doesn't matter either way. If I were him, I would demand the fight be back in the US for pride and honor reasons. Hell, do it in Mexico if you truly want a "neutral" venue.
