    Joshua vs Franklin, obviously. At least with Fury the consumer pays to watch a sporting icon and boxing great. With Joshua vs Franklin the consumer pays to watch two puddings.

    Joshua for a short spell was on the top Puddings Shelf - now he has been moved down two shelves.

    Now Joshua Crumble is located in between Chisora Cheesecake and Whyte Whipping Cream

    Really cannot wait for Eddie to be justifying £25 plus a month's subscription

    PPV ? I'd rather buy Prince Ginger Whinger Harry's book than this rubbish.

    You sound like Mitch haha.

    I'd expect AJ to stop Franklin in the middle rounds tbh. Either way, both Franklin and McKean are waste of time opponents. Don't see why AJ can't just fight Whyte now, not that anyone really wants to see a rematch.

    It would probably sell to the casuals. Any idea of venue? Seems like an o2 fight.

    Whyte and Chisora types also a waste of time.

    Badly needs to step down a level not hit the floor.

    Joyce and Bakole should be next for Joshua but he knows he gets pumped by both so back to puddings.

    Joshua, without a doubt, has the most carefully mapped out record among those competing for the top belts. Luckily he was forced into boxing Usyk otherwise we'd still be listening to the boxing experts on the forum talking about how it's a pointless bout anyway because "Joshua is too big, too strong for Usyk".

    I don’t mind AJ having a tune up, but not against a guy who just lost to a shot to bits Whyte. I mean, we all know Dillian has a chin like wet tissue and Franklin hit him with the kitchen sink and couldn’t even drop him.

    l wouldn’t have minded McKeen to be fair - I can’t pick him to win obviously, but at least he’s unbeaten and to me there was a slight bit of intrigue with him being a southpaw.

    A tune up

    More like pissing in the petrol tank with this opponent.

    better than Mckean but still terrible.

    Dillian Whyte is awful and he just lost to this fatty.

    Franklin has zero power so AJ will feel confident going for it and will stop him.

    Surely this would be the lowest PPV numbers for an AJ fight by some margin.

    Those Matchroom PPV mugs reeled in time and again - they have no idea that British level Joshua is a non elite fighter and they have been poked by Earn
