    Better fight than Whyte, he has already KOd him.

    Won't be staying up for it though and paying £20 though, watch it online next day

    Because it's a sub service? It's about downloads, not views.
    DAZN only launched in September in the US. Canelo is doing his part by fighting often now.
    Now it's Joshua's turn to schedule a fight. In my opinion he missed a mark by staying inactive since Pov fight. He should have scheduled a fight against Miller or Ortiz in US for Feb.

    Ok, so to find a guy who just squeaks into your 'three to five times a year' category we have to go back thirty-two years to when Mike Tyson fought at an average of three times per year between 1987 and 1989.

    Don't you think you're being plainly ridiculous suggesting Joshua should be fighting five times a year?

    It the only logical fight after wilder fury and Whyte have ducked him.

    The only other guy it could have been is pulev but I think the miller fight is more interesting

    I like the fight tbh, rather see this than Whyte 2.

    Miller is a big guy, there's not many guys big and strong enough to push AJ around in a ring so that makes it interesting for me. That and he has good work rate, not afraid to let his hands go.

    I think it'll be a good fight, it's easy to write miller off but until he steps up in level it's hard to really judge just how far he can go.

    Will find out if he's a genuine challenger or just a fat overrated pudding.

    Joshua-miller leaves me cold....

    When you’ve cemented your families future with money then all that’s left is legacy so I 100% think AJ will fight either or both as I’m sure he wants to prove to himself and the world he is the real deal.

    Let’s be honest, if he was to beat Fury and Wilder in the next 2 years and retires then no one can say anything to dispute his legacy apart from the era wasn’t as great as the Ali era but then again Vladimir era was the same as it is now too.

    It is for the Joshua groupies. Ortiz might hit him back.

    Lol I think every AJ fan on here criticises Ortiz for some weird reason. Ortiz is world class and easily the best outside of the big 3 imo.

    He’s not world class, he’s past his best.

    Agree he’s probably the best outside of the top 3 although him vs Povetkin would be a great spectacle IMO.

    I'd love to see that fight. A real clash of styles.

    Problem with Ortiz for me is he's never been in with a top heavy besides wilder, and wilder from a boxing point of view is quite poor.

    So to me Ortiz is still a bit of an unkmown how would he fare against the other top 10 I'm not really sure

    Prefer the fight to White but still underwhelmed.
    Miller isn't an athlete, he pulled his hamstring plodding about in his last fight.
    He's a heavy solid guy who should last 3 rounds but Joshua will outwork him and the intensity will have Miller struggling early.

    Should get AJs name out there in the states and let's see what DAZN figures he draws.
    As White said in the video Hearn was under big pressure to get him out there on DAZN.

    It’s definitely going to happen but date is up in the air I believe.

    This Joshua’s first voluntary defence for 2 1/2 years. It’s been mandatory or unification since Breazeale and Molina.

    He deserves one pass.

    Miller is top ten ranked so I've no problem with the fight, the other alternative would have been Ortiz, but that would have meant a Brit v a Cuban in MSG,hardly a big draw.
