    Eddie, AJ and Usyk's manager all met today for talks regarding Joshua vs Usyk with Joshua even hashtagging #JoshuavsUsyk on his instagram.

    Maybe Joshua and Eddie are just gonna bin the IBF.

    This will be the dumbest move to make and if that happen, Joshua should asap get rid of Hearn. But i don`t believe that Hearn is that stupid to make such move.
    If they drop the IBF title, Joshua can forget that tile like forever. Pulev will milk it for long time, and after that it will be in the hands of Top Rank.
    How dumb one can be, to make this move ? While if Joshua drop the WBO, he will fight for it most probably the fight after Pulev, the title will still be in the hands of matchroom, and the fight with Usyk will be easy to made, so the choice is obvious.

    Would love to see that puny Usyk pounded into oblivion, even by the bodybuilder!

    Joshua's best bet is probably to get Usyk while he's new to the division.

    Meh. He's younger than Usyk, he can prob wait him out whilst simultaneously having blockbuster fights against Wilder and Fury who bring a lot more money to the table. The risk to reward ratio is much better with those two.

    And really hope Pulev doesn't manage to sneak his way to a vacant title he'll then no doubt hold hostage in Bulgaria.

    I doubt this will happen. I don't really see, why they would want to put Joshua in with Usyk. A fast southpaw with skills and a good engine - and, i suspect, a sound chin. If Joshua doesn't get him out of there relatively early, he could find himself being completely outboxed.

    I hope this fight happens. Usyk will make Joshua look like his legs are made of stone. Even though we’ve never seen Usyk face a legit HW, I like his chances against AJ. AJ boxed well against Ruiz in the last fight but Fat Andy can’t move like Usyk. No way he beats Usyk in a boxing match. He’s going to have to make it a fight which means he’s going to burn energy and gas if he can’t take Usyk out. I’d pay to see this one. Probably not going to happen any time soon.

    Usyk vs Joshua is such a better fight

    Screw the IBF title. It will become irrelevant after Joshua vs. Usyk and Fury vs Wilder

    Basically, winner of Fury vs Wilder versus the winner of Usyk/Joshua becomes undisputed HW champion.

    And Usyk?? Or does he not get credit in your book? Lol He’s the one moving up and will be giving away about 30lbs and BS PED testing in Joshua’s favor.

    Still... with that said, Usyk wins by late TKO
