Its going to sell very well as both AJ and Whyte sell period, and them fighting each other again is a viable match up. Whyte and AJ have both come a long way since their first fight, and Whyte is AJs mandatory for the WBO so AJ either has to face him in April or October. Take your pick when. Whyte has beaten some decent competition in 2018 and well deserves a shot at either AJ or Wilder. I personally think it will be exactly the same result as the first fight though.
Eddie bring a fight we not seen before like Ortiz/Miller/Pulev let Whyte fight Wilder in the USA. Wilder & AJ won't happen.
Will be very interesting to see. Both fighters are extremely popular in the UK. Deservedly so. On paper, that suggests they should still be able to sell out Wembley and make a great event. But I personally have no interest whatsoever in a rematch. I had a lot of interest in all the fights AJ has had since their first fight, and all the fights Whyte has had since as well. I would be less interested in a rematch than in any of those other fights. I just don't see any reason to think Whyte will even has as much success as he had last time, let alone the vast amount more he would need to win. And if the UK boxing public feels the same way I do, then that would make for a very disappointing haul. Honestly, as boxing fans, I think we should all root for a bad haul. If AJ continues to sell out stadiums while he's not facing his two most obvious opponents, it makes a fight with them much less likely. The fight we should all want as boxing fans. The only way a fight with Wilder or Fury becomes more likely is if they continue to increase their financial status, and he comes back down to Earth a bit. Otherwise, we will be left with one of the worst sticking points in boxing: comparable level boxers who really need to fight each other while they are prime, but one with a substantial drawing power advantage and an unwillingness to come down from a hard line. Its delayed May Pac, GGG Canelo, and many others. Certainly in the first case and arguably in the second, it stopped a prime v prime matchup. We can argue mindlessly over who has the most culpability, with many people switching sides from blaming "A" side or "B" side depending on which boxer they like more, or we can recognize its a tough factual situation to make a fight in, and hope that factual situation ameliorates to make the fights we really want to see more likely.
if they ham up the needle again it probably will, people like a grudge match don't they and it can be argued Whyte is a live opponent.
You are right, Joshua is a big ticket seller whoever he faces and to be fair to Whyte he also sells. Consider he has been a headline act at the 02 for his last 3 fights and selling on box office
Joshua n Whyte rematch . Fury n Wilder rematch . GGG n Canelo rematch it would fill da arena . ( As if that would happen lol's ) but if it was possible I'd be one of da first to buy a ticket .
You are forgetting one key ingredient. Wilder refuses to fight Whyte. His words "You'll be waiting 2 years". Cluck Cluck. If neither Fury nor Wilder want to fight AJ, then who do you suggest AJ fights next? Whyte is mando with the WBO so he has to be fought by Sept/Oct or AJ gets stripped of the belt. Ortiz is past it. If people give it the "old man Klitschko / Povetkin", then what would they say about Ortiz? Coffin dodger? Don't be a div by refusing to accept this fact. Actually, all 3 facts.
Pulev gets KOed inside 4 rounds. Miller gets KOed late on. Add to that who have both of these guys fought compared to Whyte? I'm not a massive Whyte fan by the way but I can appreciate what he has done recently and whom he has fought and beaten. He deserves a shot at either Wilder or AJ. Seeing as Wilder is clucking (both fighters!), then I guess he deserves a shot at AJ.
