    Yeah this is a real possibility. We could maybe even see Joshua/Miller and Wilder/Breazeale headline the same card in the US, that would be a perfect way to build a fight between them both in the US.

    Miller is big fat lump, could we see Joshua stopping him? OR will this go the distance while they look like they can't breathe after 6 rounds

    Eddie Hearn has managed AJ's career the best......other fighters not so much

    good thinking, good for promotion in the US b4 the wilder fight

    Only if AJ stays with Showtime, but he'll probably fight Miller on HBO and sign a contract with them.
    This will create the perception that AJ vs Wilder is almost impossible to make, stir the pot, get the people talking, controversy, etc....a.k.a "marinating" the fight

    Wilder wants this fight as soon as possible.
    You must have missed everything he's been saying for the past 6 months.

    I agree with him, there's nothing to marinate here, the sooner they fight the better.

    What so hard to believe?
    He wants 50-50 and he wants it ASAP.

    It's hard to believe he genuinely wants the fight when he is being so unrealistic with his demands.

    Joshua is going through top 10er after top 10er.. He could turn over #10 Kownaki as a gimmie :cop:

    At this rate it won't be long before he becomes the greatest Heavy since Lewis.. The Kturds won't be liking that :lily:

    Hang on a minute!

    What was all that talk before Christmas about a big summer fight in 2018 against either fury or wilder??

    Why does miller get an automatic shot yet wilder must face whyte?

    I like Hearn but I think he’s being a bit of a ***** here

    Apparently Hearn never said Wilder must face Whyte to get a fight with Joshua.

    Joshua vs Hearn isn't happening yet for two reasons.

    1. Hearn wants to build it up. It could potentially be the biggest fight Hearn ever promotes.

    2. Wilder is apparently making unreasonable demands regarding money.

    Everything hes been saying is meant to build the fight, not make it. It's all for show. He's not actually trying to get it now, anymore than AJ. But they are playing their roles well and will make alot of people hunger for it and partisans on both sides accuse the other of ducking, which will again stimulate peoples interest. If all goes well, two fights from now AJ will have built his US fan base, and Wilder will have built both that and his overall credibility, and a US ppv event may be feasible.
