    As a fight that I will go to I would like it to take place in the US.. Gives me an excuse to go for a holiday

    Eddie Hearn:
    "We have had so many offers this week - Nigeria, Dubai, America, and also we have the opportunity of Cardiff here in the UK. Financially, Cardiff's not the best choice, but also at the same time, if it's not broke don't fix it, and we have that mentality with 'AJ' moving forward."

    Edit:
    IBF have said the fight must happen before December 2nd...this may put Cardiff out the equation as Principality Stadium is only available in December.

    Where the money is.
    But Joshua could knock the door open in any new market by beating Wlad a second time.

    Las Vegas or New York would be good if Eddie wants to angle for a Wilder PPV showdown. He also has fingers in the Terence Crawford show and Callum Smith. Could be a good showpiece and networking event.

    Nigeria is the legacy choice and a second win for AJ would enable path to ATG.

    I don't see Dubai working for anyone else apart from Amir Khan and Manny Paquiao.

    For straight money in the pocket Cardiff will hold 80,000 plus.

    In a German stadium, Klitscho's homeground.
    If the fight comes to Dortmund, I'll be in attendance!

    Wales, NYC, or Dubai in that order. It would be a good fight to get Joshua introduced to the US. HBO has the rights to the fight in the US and Showtime has the taped delay broadcast. I don't have a problem with it being in the UK again Joshua has proven he is a monster draw there. To me Staples Center in Los Angeles would be the best option for a US fight.

    Its going to go where the money is, K2 and Dodgy Eddie must be rubbing their hands at this one. But as a Boxing fan and a fan of Joshua I would love to see it happen in America under the bright lights at the MGM, or MSG. Although sooner or later Joshua and Wilder are guna meet and it would be good for him to fight an American when he fights at a big American venue.

    Germany is not an option..

    Eddie Hearn:

    If its in the US.. it will most likely be on PPV on showtime and HBO and also PPV in the UK so they could make a lot.

    The first one was one of the best heavyweight title fights in a long time.. Easy to sell a rematch for it.

    I picked Nigeria. Not sure, but I think the atmosphere would be something different. Rumble in the Jungle style or World Cup 2010.
