    Arreola and Charr getting fights with Joshua and Fury is a real tragic for the heavyweight division .Joshua could've fought Zhang or Babic , i guess his confidence in his abilities is very low now .

    Arreola should be saved from himself.
    He was pummelled by Kownacki, for crying out loud.
    What possible morale builder would it be for the multi millionaire to blow over a complete no hoper.
    He would only be kidding himself, along with plenty of the eager, gullible public!

    Cheers, I'd have no idea if 85k is significant. But if writers are engaging with them it sounds legit.

    Even coming off loses, this is a big step down taking on a recycled journeyman like Arreola. If true, I can't say I'd bother watching it (especially if they try putting it on PPV).

    If he is planning on fighting every three months (unlikely), it's understandable as a rebuild, but otherwise not for me

    The most entertaining part of this fight is how Hearns will sell Arreola as a dragon slayer to the Brits.

    If not Fury, Ruiz 3 is the fight to make.

    Arreola is unacceptable. Arreola is more for Hrgovic or Zhang.

    Yeah, while Charr fought ferocious 21-0 21 KO knockout king, most feared man in the division, Christopher Lovejoy.

    I don't understand the point of an Arreola fight. Joshua performed to the best of his ability against Usyk and didn't get beaten up very badly. That's just his level.

    Average age of the last 10 AJ opponents. 34.


    Average age of last 10 Fury opponents. 32.


    Dont let those measly two years fool you... AJ obviously fighting borderline senior citizens while Fury taking on prime up and comers.
