I haven't seen much of either fighter but if Martin has the heart to cross the pond then he has my support. War Martin!!!!
Great news. Best fight either guy (Martin-Joshua) could realistically make right now. Hearn did the right thing.
. I was wondering the same thing Joshua will be too much for Martin, but it's good to see Martin having the ***** to take on someone like Joshua so soon
froch fought in anybodys backyard including wards. in the 80`s and 90`s big name usa fighters used to travel for world title fights . sadly now we dont get a chance to see american top talent live unless you travel to america.
Wow nice one! I didn't think would happen. Big props to both AJ + Martin! And their respective promoters. Good things can happen it seems afterall!
wilder might have to travel to russia for povetkin which be much more of a culture shock than martin .
Yeah, a US boxer fighting in the UK does run the risk of being victimized by that good ole Brit ref'ing like Dirrell. But Martin really believes his power is real and the fight won't go to the cards. Martin's going to snatch that red-coat British money and bring it on home to the Good ole U.S. of A. Even Benedict Arnold would beat on Martin. :yep
I approve of this fight, heavyweight division is heating up. Martin is better than I used to think, he should test AJ. For Martin, anybody he fights is a risk so might as well get somebody's who's relatively green, and he can make the most money at the same time. No brainer.
Yeah respect to both fighters for making this happen and lol at the idiots who complain about cherry picking if someone doesn't fight tough opponents and then complain about "cashing out" when someone does take a risk atsch
He went for aj cause he knew he would lose the belt soon anyway. So he might as well take the biggest payday possible. Cause he would have to share money 50/50 with wilder or fury. Or probably less. But at least with Joshua he will get British ppv and the lions share of the purse. So a nice couple of million for him
