Two words.

Breidis Prescott caught out a defensively naive fighter.

AJ should win this quite easy. The only problem is, AJ has faced rather week opponents. In fact, if you put all of his opponents together you'd probably have a nice house built. So Whyte has a small chance.

Whyte needs to come out fast and try and catch AJ off guard. This fight wont go more than 3 rounds whoever wins it.

Are we saying that Joshua is the second coming of Willie Pep? We've not seem him in with a live enough opponent to guage how he reacts when under fire.

I've not seen enough of Whyte to make a prediction, but at this stage, a big puncher could well provide a shock outcome, it's very early in Joshua's career.

I havent gambled on anything other than the lottery for a very long time but would be very tempted to put a fiver on rd 1 and a fiver on rd 2, or maybe a tenner on the first 3 rounds, wont go any longer than 3. Oh, thats for AJ by the way

You wouldn't see much return.

true pal

Hearn reckons at least 3, maybe 4 of Brook, Mitchell, Campbell, Quigg, and Bellew will be on the card.

Brook seems impossible unless he gets Chaves out of there very early.

If 3 of the others are on there in good fights then fair play.

Will it be free or PPV?

How about mitchell vs Campbell? And it will defo be PPV he just has not announced it yet

Reckon it will be PPV but if the card ends up similar to May 30th I don't think there can be too many complaints.

Is he fighting Anthony Joshua?

its a shame that almost no effort is made to build up domestic fights anymore

either way, Joshua takes this no problem

If this is PPV, why would anyone who is not a footy/cricket fan aswell bother with Sky Sports?

Everybody loves AJ. If he stays undefeated I can see him selling out Wembley for a world title shot in H1 2017.

Joshua is a promoter's dream.

He's nice bloke that appeals across the board & he punches like a mule kick; knocks people out quickly, so his performances attract the attention of casual fans which are essential for the sport, plus he looks like a God!

I also have no doubt he'd sell out Wembley for a title shot if he carries on like he is doing now.

Wlad says he might come and watch.

looking at their last few opponents you have to give the edge to Joshua,
Joshua last 3 opponents:
Gary Cornish - British level, 21-0 going into the fight, 28 years old
Kevin Johnson - former world contender, international boxer- lesser world titles, 29-6-1 going into the fight, 36 years old
Raphael Zumbano love - Regional level champion, international boxer - lesser world titles, 36-10-1, 34 years old

Whyte last 3 opponents:
Brian Minto - 41-9 going into the fight, 40 years old, regional champion/ international contender, once fought for world title at cruiser weight
Irineu Beato Costa Junior -17-4 going into the fight, 35 years old, regional title contender
Beqa Lobjanidze - 10-0 going into the fight, regional level boxer, 34 years old

Any news on the undercard fights?

It's hard to go against AJ, he's hardly put a punch wrong since he went pro. Although if the odds are 10-1, Dillian has to be worth a punt. He's a big up-and-coming bloke who can whack.

Joshua is not a nice bloke.

Why? Coz he got nicked with an once of weed.

He's a bad man.

Smiling for the camera doesn't make him a nice guy.

I think every top tier fighter has a nasty side to them but I want to know why he's so bad?
