    doubt they will go to Russia if that turns out to be the result.

    If you think Miller is next again it shows you don't follow what's going on!

    And you keep on about Whyte as if that's going to ruin my day as if he's associated with me ? Lol

    Let it go ! :confused:

    Hearn has been looking at Miller next for a while now, it's the fight he really wants.

    Hopefully Povetkin gets his shot and stands his ground as opposed to having to fight journeyman Whyte first.

    Whether AJ gets Miller next is another thing but it is the fight Edward wants.

    Miller is not the fight he wants unless Wilder agreed to a fight in late 2018/ 2019, which was before Povetkin became mandatory.

    Povetkin is the mandatory and Joshua HAS to fight him next if Wilder declines the figjt.

    Really what don't you understand here?

    It's definitely the fight he would prefer next, as his plan has always been to grow the Wilder fight later in the year and he was quite clear that he wanted Miller in NY in the summer.

    But that was before the Povetkin mandatory was mandated. Since then it seems that Povetkin will be the likely next opponent if the Wilder fight can't be made.

    Hearn will likely try and pay Povetkin step aside money or ask the WBC for an exemption, as you say he would prefer Miller next as that suits his long term plans more. But I doubt any of that works and we see Joshua/Povetkin and Wilder/Breazeale next.

    Hearn would have zero interest in Miller without a Wilder fight!

    Only way he fights Miller is Miller himself making a known factor at HW.

    maybe a 2020 fight ?

    Joshua is going to be a busy man with more relevant fights unless again Wilder signs a contract for a 2019 fight. Then we could see a Miller fight but I don't see that happening.

    I think Miller gets brushed aside and Wilder declines ANY Hearn offer. Miller brings nothing but a welcome may for Joshua in the U.S nothing more.

    "If we box in America and it's not Wilder, Miller will be the perfect guy.

    "At some point the WBA will call a mandatory, I think this summer. I think we will have to fight Alexander Povetkin this year so it could be next.

    "We will fight Povetkin - he is on the radar - and AJ isn't about to vacate any belts. He must become the undisputed champion."

    Said Edwardo Hearn last month.

    "Povetkin is mandatory for Anthony Joshua, but Dillian wants to fight him in June," Hearn said after the fight.

    Said Edwardo Hearn this month.


    Miller IS the match Hearn prefers, hence the distraction of Whyte being mentioned, however Povetkin wants the fight and he should be next.

    But that doesn't mean he is Hearn and Joshua preferred opponent.

    What is incorrect about anything I've said?

    I know that you are incredibly dense but I've given you 2 quotes by Hearn that effectively show how Povetkin has gatecrashed his initial plans.

    Take off the fanboy glasses kid.

    True, but I still think he has hopes he can make the Wilder fight which is why he wants to showcase Joshua on US soil first against an American heavyweight.

    I suspect you're right and Wilder will continue to duck the fight and so Miller then becomes a redundant fight. Hearn will move on, fight Povetkin next and then take care of his other mandatory obligations, while focusing on a future Fury fight if he successfully returns.

    He won't want to fight in the U.S unless it's prior to fighting Wilder to keep the wheels moving.

    Unless Hearn has a signed contract with Wilders name on it for a 2019 fight i don't believe Joshua fights Miller.

    Miller was the preferred Opponent before Povetkin became mandatory ...but Hearn would not peruse a Miller fight just for no logics to itit, which would be a Wilder build up.

    and with Wilders team posturing now it's more highly unlikely Hearn goes for Miller and tries directly for Wilder which again imop isn't going to happen!

    Hopefully I'm wrong on that one!

    So you agree that Miller is Hearns preferred choice yet Povetkin being mandatory scuppers this.

    i didn't mention who's preferred , that's something you switched the topic too!

    You mentioned Miller is fighting Joshua next.....Which again you were wrong!

    Miller was only preferred if the Wilder fight was on and BEFORE Povetkin became mandatory and they had sufficient time to fit it.

    I know this is a lot for you to take in bc you have severe mental capacity but come on. :wave1:

    All the talking Wilder did and now not a peep.
