Joshua fighting april 9th, opponent announced next week.

I think it's Chisora, that would easily sell to casuals on ppv, hopefully Takam will follow then a potential title clash with Martin towards the end of the year. I don't see Hearn allowing Joshua to fight more than 3 times this year.

 

Martin will not have belt at end of year

 

With Martin being the IBF "Champ" this would be the way to go.Take on Takam and then go and get Martin.I would actually fancy my neighbours chances agianst this so called Champion.He fights like a strawman on stilts.Just awful.

 

I had Stiverne in mind, don't know why. Don't even know if he has anything lined up himself.

 

They already have betting odds for chisora, so they seem quite confident its him. Decent fight, Chisora tends to up his game vs decent opponents, has a solid chin but doesn't really have the power to Ko AJ with 1 punch ko.

Easy PPV fight to sell to casuals as most will know who chisora is, so it ticks all the boxes really.

 

Stiverne is too pricey for Hearn. It'll be Chisora but it should be Takam- I don't get the reasoning for not trying to get yourself into the IBF mandatory slot.

 

As for traveling to the USA i believe its a special sporting visa and im sure it could be arranged especially for a big fight vs a yank
