    So with Wlad hanging up the gloves, this means Joshua will face Pulev in his madatory.

    Does this still take place in Vegas? Baring in mind Eddie want's Joshua to get the american exposure to set up the Wilder fight next summer.

    cannot see that. Money not in it surely. More cash to be made prime time ppv and 70k at cardiff

    it's an O2 fight with an aj molina type undercard hopefully.

    Does it? Has this been confirmed then?

    AJ has 2 mandos, Pulev and Ortiz. Although I am sure it is likely he would face Pulev first as it is a much easier fight.

    I think he will fight Pulev at the Millenium stadium. If I was him I would do that and stump up money to make Selby v Frampton as chief support.

    Pulev fight won't be in Vegas not enough pull... Makes more sense to have it in Cardiff with a big crowd and prime time TV then set up a huge fight in Vegas with wilder...

    Don't know. Ortiz is a lumbering lump. AJ will tag him at will. His last 2 fights were abysmal and he has fought nobody of note, bar a washed up 45 year old Tony Thompson.

    LOL Wilder wants none of AJ, despite what noises he may be making.

    Quite right, they were horrible. He looked a very old man. But I rate Pulev even less.

    Both are lumps with **** defence and no head movement. See Pulev v Wlad for what I'm talking about. AJ will knock Pulev's head into the stands within three rounds. He'll fold the first time he's hit.

    Ortiz may be more durable than Pulev but will be picked off at will.

    Obviously things can change but Eddie said in a fair few interviews it's Klitschko or Pulev.
    IBF are a lot more strict with madatories than WBA.
