    Of course he likes him. Joshua is Eddie's cash cow.

    If he faces Wlad, he won't be for much longer.

    Eddie knows his stuff, he wouldn't put Joshua in there if he didn't think he was going to win, especially when he could put Joshua in with a stiff and make mega bucks on Sky Box Office.

    No one in the sport of boxing would be confident that their guy whose best wins are against a couple of no hopers completely unproven at world level is capable of beating the best HW of the modern era, and if Eddie thinks he can.... with any confidence, he shouldn't be running Matchroom sports.

    Eddie may well have been in touch but it won't be for this year.

    AJ is still on the path of fighting guys who aren't worth contacting for sparring.

    And who was Fury's best win before he schooled Klitschko. To say Eddie doesn't know what he's doing given the job he has done and is doing is ludicrous. (By the way, not to be picky but Eddie doesn't run Matchroom Sports, Barry Hearn does, Eddie runs Matchroom Boxing)

    Parker and Pulev aren't worth contacting for sparring? The two front runners for the fight- despite both being in the top 10.

    Bad move for Joshua. Joshua does not have the defensive skills and movement of Fury. Just because Wlad looked bad in the Fury fight does not mean that Wlad still isn't Wlad.

    He hasn't fought either of them yet.

    Ironically Parker has the better victory. Breazeale, Whyte, etc are British level at best.

    Based on what? Two fights ago he KO'd a consensus top 5 HW in 5 rounds and people were saying this was the best Wlad ever. His last two fights were against underrated fighters with excellent defence. Joshua is a physical beast, but he is pretty stationary and can be hit.

    No way Eddie is serious about this.

    Wlad was an undefeated , undisputed champion for a decade beating numerous elite fighters who had an one off night and is now without a strap.

    This would be terrible matchmaking by Eddie. He is using Wlad's name to give Joshua publicity.

    I would wait another year and see how Wlad performs in his next match up.

    Eddie chatting ****. There's no way he risks Joshua against Wlad.
