    Hearn announcing AJ's opponent and the heavyweight fight on the undercard involving new signing luis Ortiz.

    Also Haye will tell us who he's for fighting next.

    I just hope we don't get AJ vs H.fury and Haye vs Briggs.

    Ideally AJ vs Parker
    Haye vs Pulev
    Ortiz vs Price

    Haye v Pulev???
    Why??????

    That's not a good fight, but an easy stoppage for Haye inside 5.

    Ortiz won't be on the under card, he's fighting Malik Scott on November 12th in Monaco.

    Parker is fighting fast fatty Ruiz Jr
    Ortiz is fighting Scuba Scott
    Haye is fighting some dude with an extremely padded record
    Joshi might be fighting Wladimir.

    I doubt Pulev will fight Haye next, he turned down AJ for a shot at the title and a better pay day than Haye would be able to offer.

    Some big fights to be made, do you think the HW division is at the same level as the 80s -90s

    That's because Pulev knows he's nowhere near as good as certain fans seem to think he is/was.

    Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Vitali in his prime - nowhere near that level in my opinion.

    Its a good crop today. Better than the last decade.
    But ya when you think about that era it really was a good time. Any one of those three would slice through today's offerings with ease. Imagine vitali v bronze bomber

    Lennox vs Wlad, Holyfield vs AJ, Bowe vs Parker, Vitali vs Wilder... it doesn't look good for the new guys against the 90s fighters.

    Well you can thank Tyson Fury for that. The squirrel roasting f*kwit has screwed the whole division at the moment.
