    You can take off your tin foil hat now, Farmy.

    There is no American television conspiracy.

    First division fights involving non-Americans get shown.

    I have a feeling that Joshua's next fight will be on HBO as according to ESPN, HBO bid 1.95 million for Joshua vs Parker and forced Showtime to use their pre-existing option (part of their previous deal with AJ) to match the bid and secure the fight, and my guess is if Joshua beats Parker, his next opponent will likely be Jarrell Miller if he wins on april 28th.

    Ehh, would rather he face Povetkin ( would obviously look better on his resume too)

    I can’t see Big Baby giving him any problems.

    I don't know about that Big Baby is pretty talented himself and younger than Povetkin.

    Big Baby is just a fatter Whyte. AJ stops him in 6. AJ vs Povetkin is the more intriguing fight imo.

    Me too,i think Joshua v Miller will happen in Brooklyn and HBO behind it at Prime Time will draw bigger viewers because it's got a bigger Subscriber Base

    Maybe he fights big baby if Wilder doesn't want to fight. But Povetkin is mandatory so it will happen next after Parker.

    I just can't see him fighting Miller this year.

    If I was Wilder I would be very against that fight succeeding in ratings and ticket sales, especially if it's the Barclay's or even the Garden. If Joshua invades America and is more successful then it's tears for our champ down in Alabama.

    Well, Showtime showing Joshua/Parker is a surprise, but where was Showtime during the good fights provided by WBSS? What about Usyk/Gassiev fight, everyone wants to see that also.............

    Eh i think Povetkin is up there in age and Joshua would take him out, but for me Miller is better than Whyte.

    Povetkin schools both. I don't particularly rate Miller/Whyte that highly.
