    Just seen that a deal has been reached for the fight... seen a little bit on Whyte and hes pretty good,he also beat Joshua in the ams...should be a good test to see where Joshua really is as a pro..

    Amateurs and pros are completely different... Joshua was also green when he lost to Whyte in the amateurs, he'll win this fight easily.

    Joshua is overhyped and Whyte is nothing special. Both guys are going to get KO'ed as soon as they face top 10 opponet.

    May be obvious to some, but there are clearly a sizable number of people who are hyping Whyte and picking him to beat Joshua. So please keep your snarky remarks to yourself.

    Whyte has looked sloppy since turning pro, whereas Anthony has managed to improve sensationally since the ameteurs. Having said that, we have no idea how Joshua fights after the 4th round...

    Even though it was a few years ago, the amateur win by Whyte may play into both of their heads, giving Whyte confidence and making Joshua hesitant....we shall see. It's an interesting match up, imo.

    Interesting match up. Whyte will be Joshua's first real threat as a pro. Even though Whyte is unproven he has power, will believe he can win based off their amateur fight and has the style to put Joshua on to the back foot which we have yet to really see from AJ.

    Joshua will clearly be motivated to avenge his amateur loss and knows Whyte won't just roll over. This could be a potential banana skin for the Olympian though he needs to be at his best.

    There was a bit of "bad blood" between them when they were together in Wlad's camp. It was worked out...but I'm sure they both want to knock the other one out...should be fun.

    I would have to go with AJ but Whyte will come to fight, the man has no fear, AJ will be in his fight real fight because I don't believe any of AJ's opponents have come believing they could win.

    Whyte believes he beats AJ and is big and strong enough to give AJ some problems. It's a dangerous fight for AJ.

    No doubt this will be a properly promoted bout with some made-up narrative about a rivalry and mutual hatred between those guys.

    Joshua will win easily.
