    Joshua KOed by a light hitting trademark Pulev jab. The bodybuilder 's punch resistance has disappeared!

    I can only take you seriously these days when you "lol" at the end of your post. :ibutt

    Anyway, my own view is to get the Pulev mando out of the way as it was 1st mooted in 2017 (Pulev then got injured so fairs fair on having 1st dibs) and then the WBO mando - if still an option - opens up.

    Once these 2 are out of the way by Sept, then all other options suddenly spring to life.

    The stumbling block however to these other options opening up is the potential Wilder/Fury tie up which both complicates the landscape and pushes things further back to what we all wish for.

    I hate to say this (because of yet another yearly delay) but 2021 should hold no excuses for any reigning heavyweight boxer regards making THE fight!

    Give your pay masters, the fans, what we want.

    Yeah I think it's great. He talks about wanting to be a global superstar and is now trying to do it by travelling the world and defending his titles. Keep it going I say.

    Load of bollocks. Eddie has already stated a couple of times now that AJ's next fight will be at Spurs new stadium.

    I’m an AJ supporter but why the hell are we having to wait until late May or June for his next fight? Surely he could be out against Pulev in late March/early April. This twice a year nonsense from the heavyweight champions is bull****

    From a development perspective it's a strange one too. AJ has come a long way. He'd come further if he fought three times a year. Perhaps it's a tactic to preserve his numbers. Mayweather fought twice a year at his PPV peak.

    Yes his development would 100% benefit so much more with momentum and 3 or 4 fights a year. I could accept 2 fights if the opponents were Wilder and Fury.

    Pulev dropped AJ in sparring without landing a punch, the bodybuilders stamina let him down and he punched himself out and hit the canvas.
