I think they're pushing hard for Miller vs Bryan because Bryan has the WBA interim and it would set up (or they would then say) Miller is WBA mando. Miller could do enough talking to generate interest and it would easily do well at MSG.

DAZN 2019: Eddie Hearn got drunk last night & spilled the beans

Originally posted by BennyBlanco View PostHearn was in an NYC bar last night, and after having a few too many drunk, he was loudly boasting about his 2019 plans.
According to drunk Eddie:- He has convinced Amir Khan to take the Kell Brook fight.
- Joshua will move off the April 13 date.
- Khan will fight Brook at Wembley on April 13.
- AJ will fight Jarrell Miller in May at Madison Square Garden.
Hearn was also bragging about having convinced Madison Square Garden to take the horrendous Demetrius Andrade vs Akavov fight by promising them that the Garden will get Joshua vs. Miller without having to bid against Barclays or anyone else.
All the Joshua talk about Wilder is meaningless. Joshua and Hearn know that Wilder is contractually obligated to do the rematch with Fury, and they also know that AJ is fighting either Whyte or Miller next, no matter what Wilder says.
As far as a rematch clause, I don't there was one that covered a draw for either guy. But, I also think that you won't have to twist either guy's arm to do it again.
The money will be as good as any fight either could have.

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostThe next mandatory defense for the WBA super champion isn't due until well into 2020, but if Hearn wants the WBA to make Miller the mandatory sooner, they'll do as Hearn asks. Just as the WBO revoked Povetkin's mandatory status when Hearn asked, so he could use Whyte as WBO mandatory to delay Pulev. The WBA and WBO are going to do whatever Hearn wants them to do.
Who do you think will fight AJ next?

Originally posted by REDEEMER View PostWhyte is more dangerous then pulev style wise to Joshua don't be stupid.
There was no other reason to beg the WBO not to count Povetkin as mandatory even though they'd repeatedly said he was mandatory.
Hearn needs Whyte counted as a mandatory in April to put him ahead of Pulev. Otherwise Hearn can't make that fight.

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostEven if that's true, Hearn controls Whyte. He doesn't control Pulev. So the Whyte fight is still preferable for Hearn.

Why do you continue to lie on the forum is a more important question ? must be a mod or something bc this is getting dumb now to insinuate AJ is avoiding a guy whos refused to fight him twice maybe THREE times ?

Originally posted by REDEEMER View PostBoxing puts on fights that make the most money. Pulev cancelled 2 fights already with Joshua it lost him his rankings at some point. Whyte is ahead of Pulev simply because he hasn't lost in 3 years and is the WBC number one ranked.
To try to delay the Pulev fight, Hearn asked the WBO not to count Povetkin as a mandatory defense, even though Povetkin was publicly declared the mandatory by the WBO multiple times. Hearn wanted to finagle his way into Whyte counting as a mandatory defense so that Pulev could be delayed.
