    Hard fight to sell when you’ve just watched Wilder Fury

    I guess they'll sell it as Joshua's last hurdle before an undisputed fight with Fury*

    *assuming he wins

    Where was Joshua at the Fury v Wilder fight!? I remember fury getting in the ring after a Wilder fight YEARS ago now. He should have been chasing this if he really wants it instead he's hiding in Nigeria.

    Meh its an OK fight but a proper come after Fury Wilder. Should be routine and Pulev doesn't have any kinda speed which is AJ kryptonite

    I think the opposite. It’s a part of the homecoming and countdown to Fury now. This sells out quickly

    Where was Fury at any of AJ's fights? He's NEVER gotten in AJ's face. Neither has Wilder for that matter and Wilder did the commentary (LOL) for Sky on AJ v Klitschko so there was ample opportunity.

    I’m not sure myself. I think it does low PPV numbers in comparison to previous Joshua fights and won’t sell out as quick. A lot of people are suddenly Fury fans. I think it’s part of the reason it’s at Spurs as opposed to Wembley, 30k less but 60k+ still phenomenal. Also the lure of a new stadium should help with the tickets/hospitality sales for this one.

    There was no pleasing everyone here. If it was Usyk you would have been getting “he’s a cruiserweight”, “he’s got no meaningful heavyweight wins” etc. In reality it’s a mandatory against a legit top 10 opponent who the likes of Whyte wanted absolutely no part of.

    Please dont trigger the Whyte stan!

    Only idiots would say that about Usyk so i don't really pay attention. Im just stating my opinion and i just can't get up for AJ against an old Pulev.

    AJ paggers Pulev in 6 rounds. It's going to be a brutal stoppage. Think either Whyte or Povetkin stoppages. Whilst I am here, Fury dismantles Wilder the Fraud once again for the hattrick. Then just to finish him off with a final public humiliation, Whyte finally gets his chance to retire the American Fraud for good. Jobs done!

    I knew they would be fighting each other but I am disappointed by this fight. Joshua to knock him out in 8 rounds.
