It doesn't matter to me who won as its irrelevant and indicates nothing about how the fight would currently pan out.

 

we'll agree to disagree. Have a good evening mate.

 

AJ still hasn't sold out the 02.

 

Joshua would be mangled up by Joyce. Like others say Joyce is the bigger man naturally... much much bigger. Isn't pumped up like Joshua who can't box at a good pace as a result. Joyce is stronger. He has better foot speed. He has a much better chin. He punches harder. He's mentally stronger. Joshua has hand speed advantage but struggling to think of anything else tbh. As much as I am Joshua's huge fan I have to admit Joyce is part of that group with Fury Usyk Wilder who seem to be on top of everyone else.

Franklin is a good opponent for Joshua similar to the names he beat coming up when he won the belt Fury vacated. He was built off back of those names and it could work for him again. Franklin couldnt even rock Whyte who is well past it and so shaky just now. He even hit him clean and it did bugger all. Nice safe one for Joshua.

If Joshua loses to Franklin he should retire

 

Still loads of tickets left.

AJ not selling out the 02 immediately was unthinkable 4 years ago

 

Good post, pwrsonnally i see Joyce/AJ as a 50-50 as theres alot of unknowns agree with the latter sentiment if AJ cant beat Franklin he should retire, id even go as far as saying if he wons but isnt immpressive he should consider his future at least.

I know it's been said a few times - but I never would've anticipated this, especially 3/4 years ago.

Despite what he says, this will worry Hearn and particularly DAZN.

 

WAAAAH it’s all about the NUMBERS koogs!!!

a side b side do you understand what I’m saying to you?

 

Selling out or not it’s all about winning. Joshua will win and best Whyte and he will hope to fight for a vacant belt in 2024

 

Are the tickets expensive?

 

Another indication how important Sky Sports was to Matchroom.

 

I think there has to be a number of reasons they didn't sell out instantly, like the cost of living, time of year etc but I'm genuinely shocked they still haven't gone

Could we actually end up seeing AJ tickets on those filler sites nearer the time?
