    Come on people wake up, it's not so Joshua has more than a 8 week camp it's so they can promote the **** out of it for 3 months plus.

    I'm Team Joshua, of course I am, I am British but..

    I'm getting sick and tired of the excuses from Hearn and let's be honest my British brothers and sisters these are now looking like excuses, I personally can't see it any other way.

    First it was splits/money and to be fair I agreed with Hearn but that looks to have got sorted out, then the country, I wasn't fussed personally but that also seems to be sorted out..

    So it's all systems GO, let's sign and go.. NOPE, Hearn wants to start talking length of training camps, which lets be honest would be around 10 weeks and AJ doesn't blow up between fights and balloon to 25 stone, Hearn has said Joshua lives the life and is ALWAYS IN THE GYM.

    It's a joke, what next?

    Is Hearn going to say Joshua can't fight when there is over 27 days in the month?

    I think what he was saying was that in some of Wilders title fights which have a date for when the fight is happening, it has been Wilder vs TBA. I guess Wilder is in training and getting a full camp, but is TBA even selected at that time in order to get a full camp? I dont know, but I think he is referring to not being in that situation

    Team Donkey need to know their place, AJ is the A-side, the king, the three-belt unified champ, The Daddy. the star, the draw, the gold and silver medalist, fought the much better comp am and pro. When he says jump, Team Donkey say how high. Paper peasant chump doesn't get to dictate anything other the colour of his ring attire and if AJ says you're wearing red instead of blue, then blue it's going to be.

    I think he is stalling on the date and trying to get it pushed back so they can make that Wembley fight. As a big AJ fan and usual defender of Hearn he is starting to talk about things, little details that i dont usually hear him talking about, training camp lengths is a new one, i know it is something that needs sorting but its not usually on a list of demands unless this is a last minute pairing.

    I find it easy to believe Hearn would rather this fight not happen, hes a promoter who can make loads off Joshua with much lesser risks. But i do struggle to believe Joshua doesnt want it or that Hearn is prepared to throw spanners into these works to sabotage it. Offers have been accepted, contracts have been sent, we are half way there.

    I'm a realist about things, not naive to reality on this subject.

    That said, the score reads...
    Wilder's team: 1
    Joshua's team: -4

    Thats not the same thing as Lewis having a 10 day camp. It doesn't matter which side you are on, this point is completely irrelevant.

    Am I the only one who sees the glaring deficiencies in Wilder? AJ should be able to win this fight pretty easily, regardless of camp length.

    Just sign the thing before fans move on to wanting another fight made. It happens, even to heavyweights.

    boxing a joke . we have 2 good fights lined up. easter jr vs garcia and gassiev vs usyk.

    screw ggg vs canelo. i already seen it . ggg already won. wasnt even worthy of a rematch imo. ggg should be moving on to the next one.

    now team hearn is gonna ruin this fight . watch wilder or joshua lose before they fight eachother n ruin everything. there gonna pull a pacman vs mayweather . by the time may and pac fight pacs ring age was much higher n he lost once or twice n jmm almost killed him

    A professional fighter should be ready to fight on two minutes notice.
