    Joshua by late stoppage. But he would find Henry so awkward to fight. Joshua hurts him early on so Henry spends much of the fight wrestling and clinching. But AJ nails him in the closing rounds ,and the ref jumps in.

    I thought Herbie Hide was the one who was from Nigeria but I guess the clue is in Akinwande’s name. Lol.

    This fight will be just like the Lewis/Akinwande fight with Akinwande so scared of being KOed, he just spoils and grabs.

    Joshua UD or late stoppage in a boring fight.

    They are all Nigerians Joshua, Akinwande and Herbie Hide who all held the WBO world title at some stage. Nigeria is rightly proud of all 3 Anglo-Nigerians.

    Joshua by boring decision.
    I'll be the first to admit that before I saw AJ go 12, I would have said Joshua by boring TKO (putting Akinwande out of his misery). But we now know AJ can do a slow 12.

    Either Joshua by KO or Joshua by DQ, when Joshua gets in, which would happen often, Akinwande may tie him up over and over and over again until DQ

    They are both British Nigerians or Anglo-Nigerians if you like.

    Depends on how big the ring is. If it's in an 18-foot ring as when he fought Lewis, then Akinwande loses for sure.
    If it's the traditional 20-ft plus, I can see Henry establishing the distance and using his boxing skills to beat Joshua.
