Two talented young heavyweight prospects both with storied pasts, who have history with one another and a plenty of needle.
Surely this is a promoters dream?
Eddie should forget Johnson on the 25th April and make AJ vs Whyte instead, that will get the bums in the seats
come on Eddie!

Be nice to clear it up once and for all.
London, your bias hinders your view ever so slightly!!!! We shall see what unfolds. Hopefully it happens
Dodgy is a word that surely applies to your hero Anthony "Future Peoples Champion" Joshua.
I have said I don't know why Dillian Whyte turned professional.
Can you please take an objective look at the odd events surrounding Anthony Joshua's amateur career, his criminal conviction, lack of ban and extended paid "injury" before turning pro.
Put the dummy back in mate. I'm not sure what's stronger, your hatred for Joshua or your hard on for Whyte. Why people can't ever seem to like both fighters in these instances I don't know. It's not football although some people vehemently support and defend "their" fighters like they would do a football club thesedays. Strange
Joshua was ABAE's golden boy that's why he got away with whatever he liked, pretty much. Had he been crap then they would have banned him and his international career would never have been.
They had him earmarked for the Olympics for a while I bet.
I don't hate Anthony Joshua but the obvious fakeness and hype annoys me and I really believe Dillian Whyte will beat him again and have a better career.
The fact that Anthony Joshua does not seem to have received any ban for his 2011 Drug conviction instead the opposite he was rewarded with a place in the 2012 Olympics is completely wrong.
Are you still a fireman ? What would happen to you or a colleague if you were convicted of a posession with intent to supply drug offence ? Promotion to station manager ?

You shouldn't let it get to you, that's life. ABAE needed him as their poster boy for London and it played out perfectly for them/him.
His fake persona won't last too long. There's certainly an 'edge' to him that they seem to be keen to keep under wraps which I think is a shame. Scrap the nice guy image and be who you are, I like fighters with a bit of nastiness about them.
Promotion to station manager would be a punishment imo! I'd much rather get the sack!
