    Joshua v Miller rumoured for madison square garden with Brook v Khan taking his place at Wembley on April 13th.

    Brook Khan is never a stadium fight IMO.

    I like Joshua going to New York though and taking on Miller. Would prefer that to Whyte II.

    Brook,Khan at Wembley two past it fighters no titles on the line both just after a payday questions as to whether their hearts are still in it? Meh...I would watch it but certainly wouldn't pay for it. No doubt this will do great business tho.

    AJ should go to New York- they’ve rinsed these stadium fights to death for the time being. He also needs to make a move in America, as his rep over there took a major battering because of Wilder - Fury and will do again x10 for their rematch if it happens.

    Also, DAZN benefited pretty much nothing in subs for the Povetkin fight due to the time issue etc. They will want him on at prime time America I would have thought- especially for the money they would pay him.

    Brook - Khan has no business being at Wembley...Hearn needs to dtick it on at the 02 or MEN.

    Yes Scissors, is it a rumour from a good source? Would love to see Joshua in America beating overhyped Miller...but like you said Khan vs Brook in a stadium...thats crazy. But much better then Joshua/Whyte rematch.

    I actually prefer that to AJ-Whyte. Same outcome but at least it's someone different.

    Brook-Khan at Wembley is a hilarious concept.

    Brook vs Khan has to deliver, right?! British "beef" and all, easy to market.
    Neither is that relevant anymore, but if Haye vs Chisora could be a financial succes, why wouldn't this fight?

    Probably a good move for Joshua. Go to America and beat an American. Joshua has only ever fought at home so Goingto another mans backyard would be something he can check off the list. Khan v brook is not the fight that should replace it. For me Smith v Canelo would be a better swap.

    Big ask for Brook v Khan to fill Wembley but they would be more than happy if they sold 50k tickets.

    Whyte needs to win and emphatically. The public don’t want to see it otherwise.

    Wilder is first choice then if not they’ll look at Usyk/Miller/Whyte. I wouldn’t say Whyte is definitely second choice.

    AJ is just getting jealous that fury has made a bit of a name for himself and now wants a slice of the American pie himself

    Think Miller is a potential tuff fight.. He's massive but he carrys it pretty well. Seems to have a bowling ball for a head as well. AJ is going to have throw full power to keep him honest and I wonder if he can do that at pace he doesn't set.

    Agree about Whyte - He's already been decked by AJ - it wasn't close bar a couple of decent shots in 1 round. If Whyte beats Chisora in less than 5 rounds then its sellable i think but if he struggles with Del boy again then I just can't see it generating the $$.
