Joshua fight.

Anyone fancy Clare Balding's chances of pulling off a shock win?

Nope. Joshua will win this comfortably.

I'm going with AJ too

I'd rather watch the KP/Boggers fight.

Me to, let's face it he is not going in the ring with a serious opponent any time soon if ever.

He had to take this fight didn't he?

No he could have gone to the states and fought Wilder for his belt but he would not go and that's let Fury in.

Couldn't Wilder have come here though.

Yes for less money, Wilder offered much more for USA fight equal split Joshua/hearn offered wilder much less and unequal split. Joshua has said he only want's to fight at home.

Respect to Fury for going into Wilders den if it happens.

Anthony Joshua has weighed in at 17st 8lbs 5oz
Alexander Povetkin has weighed in at 15st 12lbs

Great knock out! Proved his worth. Was looking shaky at the start but gritted his teeth and showed his class

AJ looked a bit shaky for the first 2 rounds then took over and it was only a matter of time then, great knock out!

I Hope Fury fights Wilder and Wilder knocks him out, can't stand Fury. AJ vs Wilder will be massive!

Norpig AJ is never going to fight Wilder for a number of reasons but here are a few, he wont fight away from England he already turned down 50 mil to fight wilder in the US in favour of fighting an old man for 20 mil, he will always use the excuse that he wont share the purse no matter how much the fight makes so he makes much less by fighting bums like Chisora and Whyte which it seems is likely again. His fan boys are already starting to rumble him and Hearn, you watch in the coming months how he will play up to his fans but make unacceptable demands to Wilder he will offer Wilder shit compared to himself and he is happy when it's rejected.They bluffed their way out of Wilders offer saying they didn't believe it. He is scared of Wilder this is well known and will stick to the avoidence tactics. As for Fury there may just be an upset on Dec 1st i personally cant stand Fury but the man has awkward skills that may see him avoid Wilders bombs and nick a points win i only say may because Wilder is a way faster and harder puncher than AJ and also has awkward looking skills and his punches come from all angles but a huge point is he just don't gas during a fight and neither does Fury who if he does win i have no doubt at all he would play with AJ an easy points win. In which case i dont expect to see Fury being allowed anywhere near AJ they are going to take old fighters and small fighters for as long as they can get away with it.

All good points AD but AJ is the bigger name and holds most of the belts so he should get more of the purse and choice of where he fights. I think AJ understands he won'e be seen as the true undisputed champion till he fights one or both of Wilder and Fury so i reckon it will happen eventually.
Saying that with all the boxing politics i wouldn't be surprised to see AJ fighting White next April.

So to cover up his usual weak start to a fight where he gets clipped and beat up some ie a few good clumping left hooks and a busted nose he feigns FLU to explain it all Joshua you are one fucking big con man and an even bigger wanker. If only you were not chicken shit scared of Bomb Squad and slimy eddie wasn't terrified of losing his golden goose, well you cant hide forever even the fan boys are getting restless grow some balls AJ and get in the ring with someone with a pulse tosser.

AJ the fraud will fight Whyte again and get smashed to pieces. Whyte is the heavyweight don of this era

It's 3 years since AJ knocked him out and a lot has changed - both fighters have progressed, but I'd be surprised if the bout happened any time soon.

A lot of these heavyweights aren't half carrying some flab. At least AJ looks like he puts some effort into training. His body is nearly as good as mine.
