Anthony Joshua vs. Jermaine Franklin | DAZN - 1 April 2023

Demsey Mckean is a name that keeps popping up

He has back to back losses. He needs a confidence builder IMO.

Totally agree. There is no shame in losing to Usyk and I thought Joshua boxed really well in the rematch. Ordinarily, I would say that if you are boxing that well at top level then no need to drop down a level.

But, his reactions to both defeats to Uysk have been a bit odd, so think a confidence builder and space to breath is the most sensible option. In some ways, I do wonder if packing it in might be the best option: enjoy his wealth and help the young guard come through and still make a positive contribution to the sport.

This isnt an anti AJ post, but isnt Mckean at least a lower enough level for a confidence booster? He looks crap.

Fair point. Maybe Sefer Seferi is free?

Well, that route certainly worked, didnt it?

Fair, but I would draw the line with a fight like this being PPV and i suspect it would be.

[The Gratest]

Dr Seferi's clearly the man to see to help overcome those mental health issues.

Its already been confirmed anything with AJ will be PPV, even if he ends up like Danny Williams.

Yea, the win over Seferi was crucial in Fury's career and was the first defence of his lineal title.

Wasn’t it Seferi, Pinata and then the undefeated, avoided Wilder that almost everyone on here said wouldn’t happen and he would definitely lose if it did?

[Syntax Error]

At this rate, Danny Williams (who once beat Mike Tyson) will be talked up.

Two British guys who everyone knows; easy sell PPV fight.

Wasn’t it Seferi,

That's the one we're talking about.

Superb matching, full house, no ppv, back under the lights. I bet team fury wouldn’t change a thing.

Ahh, ok. So you're saying it's OK for AJ to fight Seferi?

If it’s non ppv and he does a number on Fury or Usyk one fight after I’m fine with it. Eddie has already said he could box Umar IFL Umar and it would be ppv so no chance of that happening.

[Ruthless-RKO]

It’s already confirmed this WILL BE DAZN PPV.

This fight isn't for the likes of us posting on boards. To the casual eye, McKean is a great big lump, on paper the same height as AJ, who AJ can feel confident against and beat up. I'm sure the weigh-in photos will get some PPV's in, and there's more than enough AJ fans to do something like the o2. Just get the comeback out of the way. He hasn't even got a trainer has he? Get out there, bang out the Horizontal Australian, and then slide into a proper camp for the summer.

You're fine with him beating Fury? Wow, I never thought I would see those words posted on here.

I think, based on the fights alluded to, 'doing a number' means fighting to a controversial draw.

Anyway, there's no way Joshua v Seferi gets made. After the epic historical Fury v Chisora trilogy, Seferi might be hoping for a rematch for the Lineal Title Belt.

Why not? He's on a two fight win streak.

AJ vs Demsey Mckean

And we thought Fury vs Chisora 3 was a miss match?

I had never heard of him until today and I've not heard of anyone on his record.

I guess, this is DAZN trying to squeeze out as many Joshua fights as possible.

A few on his record are definitely known, just known as journeymen. Think Rice is probably his best opponent.

We all belittled McKean when he was discussed as an opponent for Dubois. AJ will likely get him done within 4 rounds.

AJ has sparred him a number of times and usually when a big name picks a former sparring partner for a fight it's because they are confident they can beat them based on their spars. So if he does get picked then I would imagine it's based on something like that.

AJ has sparred with McKean so that follows this theory...

[mickey1975]

If Aj stayed on his feet for the full spar, it will be him.

[cormack]

I prefer him to fight wallin or even zang .
Mckean is too far away from the top level even for a so called warm up .

[cpx2]

This would've been acceptable as a regular DAZN card in December.

DAZN PPV is outrageous for this fight.
