Game on Joshua V Klitshcko

Great. Love it.

So refreshing after dealing with Fury and Wilder's bull****.

 

Almost too good to be true. Everything boxing's been telling us is that megafights take years to set up if they get made at all. Who the hell do Joshua and Wlad think they are getting this done as a backup plan with no drama, drawn out negotiations, and years worth of tuneups?

 

Oooosh.

 

No chance it does more buys than Hatton v Floyd.

 

Rubbish fight. Klitschkos at grandad age coming off an embarrassing defeat at home to Tyson Fury, and he hasn't fought in over a year when he gets in the ring again.

Furys already destroyed Klitschko, what's there to prove for Joshua in this fight.

Easy win for Joshua

 

30 million pounds?
And where would it take place

 

Yes!
So much better as a Fury rematch anyway. Go go Wladschko!

 

Article says Manchester Arena or Principality stadium are potential venues so it seems it will be in the UK.

£30 million is a huge pot, more money that Froch/Groves 2, they'll be looking to get over a million PPV buys at least for that kind of money.

 

k thanks I must have missed that part!

 

Sounds promising, Yes.


But still not certain

 

This is a better fight than Fury-Wlad 2!

 

Will it be for a vacant title as well as the IBF, or just IBF?

 

30 million is not the pot, it's the money it will generate.

This does not mean game on, you can't rely on information from a secondary source.
Eddie hearn says the contract is not finished, but all is looking good and is looking to announce next monday. That is the actual source, it's not like these journalists get exclusive info you know? they're the same as us

When the fight is announced early next week then we can say game on

easily beats hatton-floyd. joshua is a much bigger star than hatton and klitschko is pretty known in the uk after beating haye. the hype around this would be similar to mayweather-pacquiao (in the uk of course)

this is a fight where you can ask your neighbour "did you see the fight last night?"

 

I disagree. Hatton was adored heavily by the UK fans.. Joshua hasn't reached that level yet.
