    I just said on the British forum that I’m not totally sold on AJ but there’s no denying that he has the best CV of an active heavyweight bar none and that it’s all been achieved in what will be 23 fights.

    Come next April, AJ could potentially have had 8 World Title Fights, 3 huge Unification Fights and could be the first undefeated/undisputed heavyweight champion since 1992!!!

    Respect from me

    Question is who does he fight in April. Will Wilder stop stalling or does Hearn try to make the Fury fight instead?

    In April Fury will take the belts.

    Povetkin fails the drug test, David Price steps in to replace him, and starches the bodybuilder out.

    In the meantime, Wilder boxes some nobody in Alabama in front of 12k with half of the tickets given away for free. But he insists on 50% because he's "the brightest star of the yulaverse".

    Would a rematch vs Povetkin sell 90,000 tickets?

    Not that Hearn is looking past AJ's next opponent or anything....

    Either Jarrell Miller after he takes out Charr, or Whyte/Parker 2. Whyte sells more tickets in UK than Wilder in US without a belt. If Wilder and Fury talk themselves out of it once again, Matchroom has got plenty of options and won't even raise a sweat.

    I read about this earlier. Hearn is working with Sadiq Khan to expand the capacity to 100k. Joshua is making historical achievement and is probably the biggest name in the sport at this stage.

    Miller does have the mouth on him to sell the fight, though l always thought he would be AJs debut on US soil. If Whyte beats Parker it's definitely an option as it's still a marketable fight in the UK.

    No way it will be Fury. They won't make that fight until Fury beats live opponents.

    Wilder - Breazeale in Tuscaloosa Amphitheater in Alabama. Capacity increase from 7470 to 7500 by investing in a few extra chairs. Eat that Hearn.

    Depends on the outcome of Parker vs Whyte or whether or not Miller gets Charr's belt in time. Obviously, Wilder or Fury would be ideal but I don't think Matchroom will be hustled either if they request ridiculous money. Bellew and H.Fury are still sniffing around also, no Fury or Wilder for April, no sweat, could be a Povetkin rematch yet.
