    Joshua to win by KO. Price v Povetkin fight should have been stopped before
    the knock out blow was delivered. His guard was down and he obviously couldn't
    defend himself.

    But it is Joshua fighting , not Hearns? I cant stand Hearns either, but I don't want the boxers to lose just because of that?

    I think and want AJ to win tonight as I want to see him face Wilder. It would be a disaster for everyone if Parker won(except Parker of course)
    If Hearn continues to mess about and not give us the Wilder fight then I will start to hope AJ loses anyway.

    Parker was blowing early like Isgrove after twenty minutes when he stars a match. He will probably want a rematch.

    Is AJ as good as people make out? Parker stood up to it tonight and fair play to him, first guy to take Joshua the distance too. I'm thinking put AJ up against Tyson Fury and Fury may actually beat him....

    I think it's Wilder's team not making this fight rather than Hearn, despite being an odious **** this fight not happening isn't his fault.

    Fury couldn’t beat anyone at the minute and when he gets back fighting fir the sport will have moved on.

    Be very careful not to listen to a word Eddie Hearn says.

    Whilst your point is valid (the guy is dodgy), enough of the boxing press are reporting Wilder's team are not keen on the match up in the UK and the big money from ticket sales would come from a UK venue. US fighters don't sell out 80,000 seater venues. PPV sales mean it'd likely be 3 am.

    It’s not. There were talks a while back between both sides & Wilder’s team came up with figures about what the fight could make in the US at a casino venue & Hearn said he’d go away & come back with figures about what it could do in the UK probably at Wembley & he’s never been back in touch.

    Hearn basically got in the ring & lied last night but he can get away with it because most of the British boxing fans just believe everything Hearn or Joshua tell them.

    He’s doing all he can to avoid talk of Joshua - Wilder, trying to get Whyte in their instead & talking about Wilder’s lack of ticket sales as if that matters when Klitschko aside he’s never fought anyone who can sell tickets. A Wilder fight brings US PPV & mega bucks from Vegas casino’s if it’s over there so no matter what Hearn says they can’t make anything like what they can in a Wilder fight anywhere else (unless Fury returns).

    They’re gonna keep milking these stadium fights for all they can get, my guess is it’ll be David Haye next if his body holds up & he beats Bellew in the rematch.

    UK Boxing is the heart of the sport these days. I think performing abroad in a small arena in a hotel complex in Vegas is overated. I don't see why Joshua with two belts more than Wilder, would give up home advantage in a packed out stadium, to fight somewhere small in comparison like the T Mobile arena. He's used to massive stadium fights now, with the home advantage he deserves. I think to go backwards and downsize greatly in venue capacity would make it harder for him to get pumped for the occasion. I wouldn't be surprised if Joshua and Wilder never met. You could have Whyte take on Wilder and win. Winner of that face Parker. By then maybe the winner of that would face Fury. Then towards the end of next year we might get Joshua vs Fury.

    It’s all about money. Outside of Joshua every other British fighter would have to go abroad for the biggest fights. It probably ain’t that good fighting in a small casino but it pays.

    Luke Campbell for example fought Linares in LA or Vegas in a smallish venue when he could do 15k comfortably in a world title fight in Hull but it doesn’t pay anywhere he’s the same.

    The fight should happen over here but Hearn & Joshua have to want it. It should be happening next in July / August at Wembley but they’re now talking about fighting in ‘late 2018’ & then the excuse will be let’s wait until we can have it in the summer at Wembley so it’ll be summer 2019 then.

    The problem for Wilder is he doesn’t really get a lot other than money for beating 2 of Joshua’s former opponents. He’s better off getting Povetkin & Pulev on his resume who’ve only lost to Klitschko in his prime. Be much better wins than Whyte & on a similar level to Parker.

    I just hope the public put the pressure on & we get it next
