Cardiff

Why? This makes no sense at all.

They'll never sell that out on Cardiff, not a hope in hell.

That's the only opponent I think. Other fights like wilder would be big but not Cardiff or Wembley big.

It wouldn't hugely shock me. If the klitschko fight doesn't come off- Parker is probably gonna fight Ruiz jnr- so AJ is gonna be left without a dance partner. The O2 isn't a big enough venue from a financial perspective for Joshua-Haye and Wembley is out of the question until the summer to my knowledge. Cardiff seems like a good fit if everything else doesn't work out.

Yeah, but how many fans does Haye have in Cardiff? He's a London fighter, it makes no sense. There's no way on god's green earth that you're going to get a bunch of casuals paying for tickets, travel to Cardiff and a hotel for the night.

Whoever is pushing this move is either deluded or mad.

I think you underestimate the draw for AJ-Hate, James.

Calzaghe got 40,000 didnt he.for.kessler, I'm positive AJ-Haye would do more than that

Not in Cardiff.

And unless I'm missing something wouldn't that be completely the wrong time of year to have a stadium fight? You could have the roof closed, but it would still be freezing. That would also have a detrimental impact on attendance figures.

I thought Hearn already said that he'd looked at the Principality Stadium in December for AJ and no dates were available?

Anyway, Haye-Joshua would definitely sell out the stadium, no problem imo.

Big Pricey v Haye as part of the AJ v Wlad undercard with winners to fight each other next spring.

Someone is getting wrapped in a cocoon of horror.

'Here's a small update. I'm fit, healthy & will be back in the ring on 10 Dec 2016. Opponent to be announced very soon. You'll be happy!

Who's your money on? Someone who actually punches back will make me happy.

Briggs would be a terrible fight. Briggs is just a clown at this point. If Haye is serious he will face a legit contender now.

Briggs would be the best opponend he has faced ever since Klitschko...

Easy, actually, current Briggs would probably win against any of the boxers Haye ever fought right now. Klitschko being the only doubtful one. Haye never really accepted a fight he hasn't pretty much won beforehand.

Filth. Haye's record might be bloated with mid-level opponents but if you think that Briggs is any better, and think he would have a car's chance in hell vs Wlad you're mental

People do realize Briggs is a 1 round fighter, 45 years old and shot to shit?

I don't think they do.....

He actually proved he can fight 12 as well recently.
