    I think Zhang would take Joshua's head off.
    Joyce has hor a much better chin than Joshua and look what happened to him.

    One thing is for certain though- we will never see them fight cos there's no way Hearn would risk it

    Joshua would be skeptical about a fight with Gassiev, let alone dare and agree to fight Zhang...

    Wouldn't be surprised if they dragged out shot to smithereens Chisora to fight the bodybuilder.

    It is now obvious Joshua-Wilder will never happen.

    Translation: "I did everything I could to make it happen, and it was the other side's fault it didn't. Honest."

    Hearn 101 : Deny, deny, deny. Then blame someone else. Rinse and repeat.

    Don't forget the part where he promises it's still coming, just a few months later than planned, when the money will really be here this time :lol:

    Promise, promise, promise. Then blame someone else when it doesn't happen.

    A rolled gold liar if ever there was one.

    If he wants to play it safe while waiting around for Fury he should probably fight a non puncher like Dempsey McKean

    At least he's good at it. I mean, he ain't convincing, but it does indeed come naturally :sisi1

    He really is an obnoxious bullshitting twat.
    How many times does he claim that fights are going to happen only for them to fall through?
    He throws all the big names about but everyone knows Joshua won't face anyone of note unless it's a final cash out fight against Fury.

    And then he's constantly coming out with dates when Benn will be fighting which never happen.

    Hearn is well and truly yesterday's news. His 2 big names are AJ who looks scared every time he gets hit and Benn who is a crap fighter and hated by almost everone

    AJ vs Junior Fa.

    I love this fight just to see Hearnz selling Fa as the second coming of Foreman.

    So it's rumored Joshua will fight on December 23, against either Hunter of Kabayel.

    Between those two, I'd choose Kabayel.

    December 23rd is only about 8 weeks away.

    Hearn and Joshua better get their fingers out or it will be only two fights for the year. When so much priority, we were being told, was on getting Joshua busy.

    Given we're talking about Wilder, who has made a career of avoiding anyone decent (that doesn't appear utterly shot), it's more likely true than not in this case.

    Joshua might not be what he was, but he's never shied away from making good fights... Wilder's best win is a gatekeeper with a threadbare resume, who's been called out by plenty of better fighters and found ways to not have to fight them every single time.

    Out of these two men, if one is solely to blame I'd say it's as safe an assumption as it's ever possible to make that Wilder is the cause of the breakdown.
