Comments Thread For: Hearn Expects To Finalize Joshua-Pulev in Coming Weeks

[Mammoth]

Pulev to Joshua is a bit like Brezeale to wilder. He’s a decent ish opponent but no one really wants to see it because we pretty much all expect the same outcome.

For me, seeing Usyk fight Chisora before stepping in with Joshua is a good thing though. I am looking forward to that fight (once hopefully confirmed)!

It appears Whyte will take on Povetkin (unless Ruiz accepts an offer) which either way is another fight I would like to see.

The one person in the lurch appears to be Joseph Parker, I’m still unclear who he will fight. He’s scheduled to fight on 29th Feb so wouldn’t surprise me it ends up being a wallin or someone. Given its in America a Jennings, Martin, washington - they all make sense.

Wach...........

... "Nobody wants to see this garbage."... as if everybody wanted to see Breazeale and Ortiz 2... (you just tell us...)

Mandatories generally stink.

Should be a good fight.. Depending on which AJ shows up! If the deer in headlights AJ shows up.. Then we can expect a upset! Tying up the belts for another year. Hopefully old AJ is back. He Ko's pulev and we can have the undisputed fight with Wilder in june or july! Notice I didn't include Fury... Who be unconscious come Wilder fight.. He will be making decent cash with WWE! Now.. If Fury can make it a decent scrap with Wilder before he is Ko'd. Then AJ can fight him.. While Wilder Ko's Whyte.. And if AJ beats Fury its a big undisputed fight or if Fury beats AJ.. Then its a huge rubbermatch for undisputed!!! I cover all angles.. But with a slight bias when it comes to Wilder because he represents America.. An my brother.

Why is the fight so late May/June?

Hearn says AJ wants to keep all belts...so wouldn't it make sense to get the fight in Feb/May and then Usyk in June/July? That way he will also be free for Wilder-Fury winner (even after their rematch)? Wilder vs Fury is in Feb and, if either decides, a rematch could happen in July. So both will be free around Nov/Dec. If Joshua fights Pulev in May/June and then his next mandatory in Oct/Nov, when does he expect to fight Wilder?

BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's hope Pulev hurts his back again.

oh yes, the brawl for it all!

The only fight that should happen in Africa should be the Joshua-Wilder fight. Two boxers of Nigerian descent fighting in the homeland.

Nobody wants to see this garbage.

But Ortiz 2 and Breazele is great to you though
