Would they dare take him out of london and put him under the roof in cardiff?

That's what I was thinking. Would surely have to be a big name though. Maybe Tyson Fury in Cardiff in November and winner fights Haye at Wembley in the summer?

Hearn said on an IFL interview yesterday that they'd opened early negotiations for Joshua vs Fury. Would be amazing at the Millennium Stadium in November.

Not unless they actually have to. Eddie has said though, that the 02 is not easy to get on a Saturday night, so mandatories deadline could force the move out of London. That said I could see Eddie taking Joshua to Manchester with Crolla and Quigg on the undercard.

How can the O2 not be easy to get to? North Greenwich is on the Jubilee line, which connects to every other tube line. If the main event was scheduled for 10 p.m. there wouldn't be a problem. Too much time wasted in between bouts IMO.

Think he means easy to book as other events go on at the o2 on a Saturday night

If I was Eddie I'd take AJ all over the UK and let people around the country see him to really build him up. Villa park, Old trafford and St james park would all be good venues in future summers

Didn't think of that. You're probably right. I often wonder , though, why big fights are now nearly always held on a Saturday (used to be a Tuesday when I was young) when many of the potential audience are probably attending football matches in the afternoon.

He has already done that on his way to this paper title he has. Eddie put him out everywhere before he claimed the O2 as AJS fortress

Future summers?

I think he could potentially be the dominant force, but lets let him beat somebody who doesn't just stand in front on him first.

Maybe got a bit carried away with saying future summers but IMO I dont think AJ will face anyone who wont just stand infront of him untill next summer and lets face it even if he does get beat Eddie will spin it in a way the casuals will be fooled into still thinking he's number one heavy weight so will still probably sell out a big stadium.
