Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Carlos Takam Finalized For October 28

[betmen]

I have said several times his technique is horrible and i dont get why Joshua wont just go ahead and fight him

is money, this fight will happen when they are atleast 20mil guarantee for each fighter. promotors will take this gamble since there are only little risk in HW division. is fcking fury's fault the division is rather ****ty without insane *****.

Good to know you're not a hypocrite like so many of the patriots on here.

imma call a spade spade

[RememberTUA?]

Can you read? The article clearly says this will satisfy his mandatory. In the future, please review the source material before posting

This delays nothing, if anything, it speeds the process up, now Joshua won't have to wait until 2 or 3 months for this fight, it will happen on time, and keep the schedule open in 2018.

That's assuming AJ does not punk out, and duck Wilder.

Probably a bit out of line here, but your post has wanker written all over it. Can you read?! please review the source material before you post?! WANKER!

Lol @ anyone trying to compare Joshuas fight thats about 2 weeks away with Takam who is ranked 3 and a mandatory now . Look in comparison to Wilders hand picked opposition who were not even top ten in his organization . Washington and Arreola were magically placed in top 10 when Wilder went searching . lol

All rankings aside Takam would be about Stiverne level , NOT the Stiverne Wilder will be fighting whos been out 2 years ! I think Takam hits harder than Stiverne so that puts up one on his chances to get the K.O ,so im not even sure Stiverne is better than Takam ?

Takam has been training for Joshua on stand by so thats a huge advantage bc Joshua has to readjust to an entirely different style with limited time remaining . This probably gets Takam a few extra rnds .

Joshua 5th rnd K.O !

It's a good replacement & as the article said they had him on standby when the Pulev fight was signed so they had a backup plan lined up awhile ago. Takam is always in good shape & by the sounds of it he is ready. Some good HW fights happening to close out 2017...

[Scipio2009]

It's all good

Joshua still fights Luis Ortiz in early 2018, Wilder fights the Breazeale-Molina winner in early 2018, and then the build towards the big summer fight can happen (vs Wilder would likely maximize the US/UK money, but Parker and David Haye would both be strong options for a summer fight in the UK).

As long as the interest is there, nothing changes.

Eddie Hearn is a joke!!!

[Deus]

Eddie Hearn is a joke!!!

Yes. Eddie Hearn is a joke for the IBF following their rules and installing the next highest contender as mandatory challenger when Pulev pulled out. Totally makes sense.

[Fabes88]

Takam is washed up and has been washed up for a while now. Joshua and Hearn are blatant scumbags for this.

Yeah they should've got a real challenger like Gerald Washington or Chris arreola

[yammy25]

Raggamuffin has had an anti AJ and anti hearn agenda since he showed up here.

Clearly he doesnt know the IBF mandatory rules or he's a **** troll.. either one is pathetic given the environment he spouts his puckered ar$ehole mouth in
