Who would be on the undercard? Give me 2/3 title fights? Brook injured, Selby? Degale? Callum smith maybe?
Not many options for the undercard unless Chisora/Whyte is made. Loads of Matchroom fighters have fights scheduled or have just fought so I'd imagine it'll be Conor Benn/Smith etc to fill out the card. Hearn can't even call on someone like Groves as he's fighting in November and apparently wants to fight on terrestrial TV going forward as the main event- that can't happen with Matchroom.
Why does that fight need to build? The demand is there for it to happen now. Haye despite what people think of him draws crowds and AJ has the causal's that EH can call on to fill a stadium. Like I've mentioned know need to build this one ....it sells its self.
Kal Yafai vs Luis Concepcion for the WBA super flyweight title. David Price will likely be in either the main event, or on the undercard. Scott Quigg has been confirmed. Luis Ortiz is listed.
Totally off topic but I sweat to god I saw that TERRYTIBBS guy in Surbiton on Saturday if anything remembers gim
Bryant Jennings has offered his services. He hasn't fought in almost a year, and he lost both his fight last year, but he might well still be the best option AND the best opponent AJ has ever faced. Better than David Price anyway.
I can't believe Jamie Moore has actually written that David Price is the pick of opponents. Makes me think it's already nailed on and is now just being hyped: http://www.skysports.com/boxing/new...ble-anthony-joshua-opponents-says-jamie-moore
All the mugs out there ready to pay 19.95 to watch 4 minutes of AJ prance around and knock Price out COLD.
It'll be Haye vs audley all over again with the casuals lapping it up while us hardcore fans get mugged off!
I do wonder if this was the plan all along (assuming it's Price that is). He was getting a bit of airtime all of a sudden and mentioned in the odd article. I can't stand it to be honest, I'd say he's no better than Breazeale in all honesty. "He can KO anybody though" it's HW boxing, that's the case with basically every fighter.
i would like to see takam as the joshua opponent he is always in shape / will be in trainig for the duhaupus fight / so will be fit and ready and is a proven commodity.
