Anthony Joshua - Septmember

He has been pulled out with Martin Murray replacing him.

Don't think it's that bad really. If he's facing a decent opponent in September then the July opponent would've been a no hoper which he would've earned more criticism for fighting than praise for beating.

But apparently he is fighting on Sept 12th so it will likely be on Brook's undercard so I'd expect a Wach level opponent.

 

I half expected it to be honest, it would have basically been glorified sparring in July and just another win on the record, so I am glad he has pulled out so you don't have everyone start giving him stick for it. As for Semptember 12th it looks like to be Wach but I ant see what title that would be for other than his WBC international championship as the silver I believe is in the hands of Povetkin. And to my knowledge, correct me if I am wrong, but Fury is still holding onto the British title.

 

European and British against Price?

 

British Title I'd imagine if Fury drops it as expected.

 

I don't really understand that? The September fight was always meant to be a better opponent so why pull out of the July fight unless it's a much bigger fight than expected

 

This is now a clear ploy by Hearn. Put Joshua is on a card, wait till loads of extra tickets have been sold off the back of him and then announce he has had to pull out, knowing most people won't ask for a refund. Joshua was never going to fight on July, it's just a money spinner for Matchroom. This about the 4th or 5th time this has happened now.

 

Gives him a bit longer to pack on a few more pounds of muscle:think

 

For what it's worth the WBO European Title could be made available.

 

Whyte for the British title? If not itll be Wach.

 

The winner of price teper would be decent although wach would suffice.

 

A fight with Wach would be the best possible fight for September.

A man who's mixed it with Wlad, has a ridiculous chin, doesn't have the greatest offense but will bang him on the chin and will certainly give him rounds.

Stick him in with Wach and we'll learn a hell of a lot more about AJ.

 

:good

 

I thought that mickey mouse belt was only contest by FW fighters on Poxnation

 

Sometimes in life you need to take a gamble to get what you want. If I was AJ I'd call Fury out now! Wembley stadium sell out would be bigger than Klit fight. Reason behind calling him out now is I think that a fight with Fury now would have nothing to do with experience or ring craft, it will just be a case of who can connect first and who has the strongest chin. A good old s**** more than a fight with sweet science and on that point I think AJ could fast track his way to the top. Just my opinion.
