    Yeah. If Joshua wins, then Hearn will take 3 or 4 mandatory / voluntary defences, then look to unify. I expect Dereck Chisora to be one of those opponents, given that he has a high IBF rating.

    If there is a PPV option on Boxnation then I can see why Sky would schedule a Joshua defence in the same timeframe as they have the better reach, marketing etc to try and stop that platform before it gets popular.

    Or it could just be coincidence.

    just had email from box nation that confirms that they are showing the fury vs wlad rematch so it looks like we won't have to decide which ppv to buy if yo already have a subscription to box nation

    If Joshua gets flattened or exposed Sky are going t hugely regret not securing this IMO.

    :good

    Yea just popped up on my Phone shocked Sky didn't go for it.

    I have a feeling Fury wants it at Old Trafford but doubt they would be able to fill it. The Manchester Arena would be easy to fill

    If Joshua gets KOed at any stage of his career Sky are in the deep stuff.

    lets be honest tyson fury isn't filling out old trafford or any big stadium he just doesn't capture the imagination of the casual fan :good

    tyson is a decent guy with decent boxing skills and he uses his height and reach properly but he isn't exciting, none of his fights are exciting and he might go on to be recognised as a good champion but imo he will never be a fighter that the masses will ever buy into or will ever get the fans the way ricky hatton or anthony joshua seems to. :good

    the biggest money fight for tyson will be anthony joshua and then, only then will a fight with fury fill out a stadium.:good

    i would also expect fury to outpoint anthony joshua when the fight gets made :good

    Was Joshua-Martin an exciting fight though ?
    I'd rather watch another boring Fury v Klitschko fight than that cr@p.

    My mistake. It's just my imagination seeing Joshua pack out arenas and selling PPV's.

    If we think about it
    Fury va kilt is signed up
    Wilder is fighting povetkin so he won't be negotiating any fights anytime soon
    Haye is fightin another tune up and then plans on fighting Briggs
    Lucas Browne is caught up with his drugs ban

    Whose left?? No way Hearn puts luis Ortiz in there with him

    He'll prob try and drag price over or a rematch with whyte .... Either way fury V's wlad is the bigger fight and the one I'll be watchin

    Hearn will match AJ with someone easy. If the people cheered at that cr@p last night, they will lap anything up.

    The best you can hope for is maybe a Whyte rematch.

    Joshua v a nobody will do better than the bigger fight. Why? Because box nation is a hidden channel to many sports fans in the country. Sky box office has the 24/7 platform of SSN and plugs during live sporting events. No matter who Joshua fights if it happens at Wembley not only will many more people be in the venue but many more will be watching at home.
