I am looking forward to this fight a lot. Hats off to Martin for taking on Joshua for his first defense. If he wins it definitely legitimizes the belt he has. May be a little sooner than Joshua wanted, but a winnable fight, and a great opportunity. Two very big heavys coming into their primes slugging it out. It will be fun to watch.

Pretty sure both these fellows are still on an upward curve when it comes to 'prime'. Good fun fight though. Hopefully a good sign of things to come in the HW division.

90 seconds, that's not even so amazing with Hearn anymore. He's a money-making machine

Anthony Joshua's heavyweight title fight with Charles Martin has sold out in 90 seconds.
Eddie Hearn confirmed all tickets had been sold in a minute and a half during a press conference on Friday.
'It's so soon but when the opportunity has presented itself it was something we looked at seriously, as Charles Martin called me out,' Joshua told Sky Sports.
'When I go out to fight I go out to fight, I go out to knock people out and that's the same with all my opponents, that's why they've always been entertaining.
'That's why I think 15 fights in this opportunity has presented itself, because of the style and the way I come to fight.'
I'm so glad, this is evidence that the HWs are starting to make a comeback, hopefully the fight will live up to the hype. I think it will because Joshua will bring it and Martin is no pushover and will not be afraid to exchange with him or stand in the pocket and trade shots.

The increase in the level of interest in the heavyweight division since Fury beat Wlad has been almost exponential.

It's a lie. Anyone can sell out in 90 seconds if you ore sold them to legalised touts.
It's just hype for casual vermin to believe.

I agree with your sentiments re Hearn and StubHub and the rip off of fans.
Casual fans aren't vermin though, they just want an entertaining night and are enjoying their leisure time. They aren't as informed as some on here but they likely have other interests (lives
).

The Only thing I fear that if this match not take above 9 rounds than audience 90 seconds will be all in waste....
