    Not a massive surprise, but how do you see this going folks? Personally I can only see it going one way - AJ to stop him by the 4th round.

    Have they said anything about timing? I really want them to put it on earlier to keep it reasonable for UK fans.

    Miller knocks the stiff out in 8 after a bit of too and froing

    Fair comment, but I’m not sure Miller will be able to deal with AJ’s speed and power, I think AJ will be looking to make a massive statement and can see an early-ish stoppage. That said, Miller is a little bit of an unknown quantity, and I guess that alone makes this bout so unpredictable.

    It would've been nice to see Miller vs Pulev or a live opponent first.

    My guess is Miller loses & retires for a few years.

    Its easy to say Joshua will ko him in 3-6 rounds but i dont really know Miller like that. He is undefeated amd he has got a couple of semi decent names on his record. From what ive seen he doesnt look great but who knows, this will be the fight of his life...Tyson/Buster 2019 style....still saying all that im going for Joshua to knock this mouthy yank out in 3 lol

    i just see miller being way to slow. joshua is going to light him up with powerful accurate shots from a safe distance. miller talks some good **** and hes a damn good fighter but i dont think he can take out AJ.

    Agreed, I have watched only a handful of Millers fights so my prediction is nothing solid. Just based on what I’ve seen, I think AJ will have too much in the tank for him though. And the key thing for me is that I do believe AJ will be looking to make a real statement in the US for his first fight there in dramatic fashion - he will be looking to make headlines there for all the right reasons, he will want to put in a performance that makes people overseas stand up and take notice. Just pleased the first round of ‘who fights who’ is now sorted and confirmed - I would imagine news on Wilder, Fury, Usyk, Whyte etc will follow quickly now (thank f***!).

    I told you it would not be Whyte!
    Maybe the trolls will get it right next time.:lol:

    Don't get me wrong, Whyte is a solid fight for Joshua. But after every fight it's the same thing: "Eddie has been grooming Whyte. The rematch is happening!!! Joshua would rather fight Whyte than *insert fighter"

    There were rumors of Joshua making 30mil or so for Miller, so I am not surprised at all that it's happening.
