    Times have changed.

    TV Stations / streaming can´t afford a big name is boxing more than 2 times a year.

    He’s obviously going to fight in the “Big Crazy Event” in Saudi. He can’t afford to get injured before he gets the Saudi cash

    Probably Whyte thought on the undercard to Fury Usyk.

    Who cares at this point though? Watching Joshua isn’t that great anyway, he’s a heavyweight that wants to box and doesn’t look great doing it.

    This 100 times over, in reality they fight once every 200-250 days on average, it's pathetic but when you factor in cycles all of a sudden a lot of this makes total sense.

    Who are they digging up to fight Dillian in the summer then. They need to match him very carefully if they want him to make it to AJ as he’s shot to bits and anybody with some stamina and a half decent uppercut knocks him into next week.

    Fits the criteria required whilst hanging out for the AJ fight

    Whyte will put his fighters on the undercard and own the show so I think the 02 will be on mind

    If that was at York Hall, I'd gladly go lol

    The purses have increased is the main reason. Even rubbish boxers earn a fortune i.e Chisora and Whyte.

    I reckon the Franklin fight didn't make what they expected and Joshua wants the big numbers or won't fight, same as Fury when he expected Saudi to cough up mega bucks for for him vs Usyk

    The spring chicken, so full of vim and vigour, Jesse Rodriguez, an amazing alpha flyweight champ, has just said that last year’s 3 fight schedule was too much for him, the poor lamb!!!

    I think you are right.

    One thing I don't understand : Why doesn't AJ wait to make this announcement ?
