Comments Thread For: Joshua-Pulev Done Deal For June 20 At Tottenham, Says Hearn

[TMLT87]

I mean, in reality its an okay fight. But its a fight nobody really ****ing wants while AJ/Fury is still on the table. I guess its just about acceptable if it means we can get Wilder/Fury 3 over with at the same time and then (assuming the results go how we think they will) AJ/Fury happens later in the year. But we all know the chances of things going that smoothly arent great.

I don't mind it at all. At least it gets rid of Pulev from the HW scene – feels like he's been a mandatory forever (including the Wladimir era). Meanwhile, Fury should fight Whyte if the Wilder threematch doesn't happen.

Pulev getting nailed to the canvas again, like this

No one wants this fight but with Wilder triggering the rematch they have to sort this out in the meantime. I believe that Hearn said there is room to manoeuvre out of it if Wilder ends up opting against the rematch.

Why June? AJ could get this guy out of the way now.

Too much money turning around Fury-Wilder rematches, so shall it be the 3rd one, while Joshua will be defending his titles, everybody's happy, including Usyk who'll get a shot to fight for the WBO title, maybe, maybe later this year, end of this year, maybe next year

I'm fine with this bout, as long as Pulev brings that Asian chick into the ring as a round card girl.

Just 3 days after the Fury big win, like **** running back to their holes.

Pulev is old and shot. AJ by split decision.

Be realistic. When exactly are you suggesting he gets this guy out of the way? Next Thursday afternoon behind the bike sheds?

To me, June makes a lot of sense.
