    This fight has to happen sooner rather than later in my opinion. It's now the biggest fight to make in the heavyweight division and I think it happens early next year.

    It may have been known for a while on the inside that Wlad was to announce his retirement, so Joshua-Wilder may be announced for later this year. AJ-Wlad 2 was going to do big business and AJ-Wilder is even bigger so does it not make sense for them to fight each other next?

    Joshua would destroy Wilder. I see a Lewis vs Grant type deal here

    In for a quick nibble.
    This is a pick'em. Wilder impressed me against Zelenoff. Are they negotiating?.. What's ambitious Eddie got to say?... always love hearing him plot and scheme on live telly.

    AJ would break Wilder in half.

    I heard something about Wilder wanting $7 million or something and to agree to his terms.

    But where would this hypothetical fight be held:

    London at the 02 Arena, Wembley Stadium or the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium (by the time the fight happens, this stadium would be open)

    Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena

    Los Angeles at Staples Center

    New York at Barclays Center, Madison Square Garden, or MetLife Stadium in New Jersey

    Is it even a new ground or are they just upgrading White Hart Lane?

    Seen. Didn't realise that. Could be a possibility then.

    Apparently the WBA just ordered Joshua-Ortiz

    From What REED's Read, Joshua's Plan was to RE Wlad Or Fulfill his IBF Mandatory Against Pulev...

    wlad retired. Will be hard for Joshua to fight a Re with him. Pulev is not a very good fighter, but maybe he'll trouble AJ a bit with his jab

    Well you would think in Vegas
    Pulev most likely next but if Wilderina really wants AJ, that happens soon. Fuck him if he's asking for $7 mill or whatever he's demanding, he needs to think realistically.

    That's the ONE fight I would advise Joshua not taking. Not yet anyway. That fight should be the final (if you know what I'm saying)

    I don't think 7 millions is unreasonable. This is a huge fight

    if wilder goes to the UK then 7 million seems like a fair figure

    Neymar just went for £198m in the UK's most popular sport, in what is arguably the 2nd biggest sport in the country right now, $7m is fucking pocket change.

    What in REED's Post (or the Title of the Thread Itself) Gave You the Impression he WASN'T Aware of This Already???...
