Imagine the outcry if a white boxer said not to shop at black stores but when a black boxer like AJ does it it’s crickets amazing times we live in

What does that have to do with the article? Well done for dropping today’s most irrelevant comment.

Sounds to me like the IBF are trying to leave room for the possibility of an undisputed fight or two to get in before Pulev gets his shot.

I wonder how long will it take for with numbers obsessed Hearn to realize there won't be any large crowds allowed this year. Also, what if this virus comes back in the fall as many are predicting?

Btw, I don't think Hearn needs to worry about large crowds at Joshua's fights anymore.

Just take the fight to Saudi Arabia or anywhere in the Middle East let's get this outta the way

Would be the smartest move. Bigger fee.

Finding a country allowing Crowds or not, AJ fans won't be travelling anywhere soon because of our countries restrictions and money of course...

Saying they are looking at staging it wherever is just a puff of smoke imo to keep the interest going... It's fading by the day (that's if any is left)

Are they seriously going to attract enough fans from inside the country they are pretending to look at staging it if AJ fans can't travel? Seriously doubt it so may aswell get the highest bidder and get it over and done with....

On a side note, be interesting to hear Eddie's take on a relaxed IBF stance over Joshua when he's making noises over at the WBC...

Pulev and Whyte walk into bar...
