    Hearn: I 100% Want Anthony Joshua vs. David Haye in 2017

    David Haye is the latest name to be linked with an Anthony Joshua super-fight after negotiations with Wladimir Klitschko reportedly broke down.

    “Haye is in line for some kind of WBA strap and he wants to fight for that,” Hearn said.

    “He’s also, I believe, done a deal with allegedly, so that’s why that fight ain’t gonna happen for December 10.

    “I 100% want that fight to happen next year but Haye is waiting, like we all are, so who knows?”

    Pretty sure he does. Probably the biggest grossing fight in the UK ever if it happens at Wembley in the summer.

    BN are probably just broadcasting the fight like Dave did - Haye will promote/bring in whichever opponent

    David Haye would decapitate Joshua. Hearns knows this, that is why he wants it to stall and be build the fight right up into the stratosphere, so that every single person in Britain dips in their pockets and makes sure Joshua is paid handsomely for his troubles in his cash out defeat.

    Haye's best wins at HW are Chisora, Ruiz and Monte Barrett.

    Joshua's best wins are Whyte, Breazalle and Charles Martin.

    Elite sport at it's best.

    It would be the biggest fight ever in UK probably. Froch v Groves was big but those guys weren't exactly household names like Haye and Joshua are. It's also way bigger than Brook v Khan.
