The video is in Bulgarian. He is just saying that he will probably defend the European title this year, and that he needs more time for preparation to fight for the world championship. He said that he will attack the world titles next year.

He should defet the title a few times I agree, his next world title shot may be his last (unless he's Arreola v.2).. He went in all guns blazing against Klit and got dropped a few times.

True,
I'm a Bulgarian, and I also think that his next title shot will be his last. I hope that the bout against Klitschko gave him some really important experience :)

You were arguing. You called me a joke. Fkn rude.

Eh?! Calling you a joke isn't an argument, it's an insult.

my mistake then

I predicted the following on the 22nd August:

And here’s what the Daily Mail reported less than two hours ago:

"Anthony Joshua eyes up David Price if 'unlikely' clash with Wladimir Klitschko doesn't happen" (Source: Daily Mail)

"Joshua's camp have drawn up a shortlist of replacement opponents, including Liverpool heavyweight David Price... Hearn confirmed to Sportsmail that Eric Molina, Bryant Jennings, Alexander Ustinov and Kubrat Pulev were also being considered for a shot at the IBF champion.

This is one of the few times that I wish my prediction was a million miles away from reality, because I was really relishing the opportunity to see Joshua face Klitschko.

It's seriously the most dissapointing boxing news of the year for me. I'd like to see Joshua pulev. If Joshua can win against a moving boxer with a great jab and straight, well, he becomes that much more a complete fighter and becomes favourite to beat old wlad. If pulev happens it's a good step but I'm still very sour about a mega fight that could of/should of happened.

There just isn't much time to promote a major event.

The wheel has turned full circle and now it is looking very much like Joshua vs Price.

Unfortunately for us, it seems that the superb hype-building machine, Sky Sports (who exclusively televises Eddie Hearn’s fighters) have started the ball rolling with the promotion of the Joshua-Price fight with the following article published 15 minutes ago:

"David Price claims he is going to knock Anthony Joshua out"

David Price has sparked suggestions of an all-British heavyweight title fight with Anthony Joshua by threatening to knock the IBF world champion out on December 10.

"Price directly tweeted Joshua, saying: "I'm coming to knock you out December 10 done it before and I'll do it again."

Absolutely pathetic defence if it happens

Eddie Hearn told iFL TV the following a few hours ago: "[What fight's the best for Joshua's career what's the best opponent for pay-per-view sales?] Of those [fighter's] I've mentioned, probably [David] Price. Fellow Brit, for the pay-per-view buys."

You take Klitschko and Wilder out of the division and there's not too much to talk about, by the time Joshua makes it big he'll have no one to fight.
My guess is that they'll have to do a big public relations exercise to familiarize the public with unknowns or hype up name fighters who aren't up to much.
Either way it doesn't look to promising.

Is that what it's come to David Price, oh dear.

Joshua and Parker are a big part of the future and will meet in a unification bout at some stage down the track. Perhaps as early as late next year, and that will be a huge fight with them both by then having further developed their profiles as well.

This is how desperate it's become when you start believing it yourself no offense.
There's no doubt Joshua is a talented boxer but the truth is the division is very weak, sure you can hype things up if it makes you feel better but it is what it is.
Unless the fighters in the division want to up the ante and start taking risks then it's just fluff.
Malik Scott is ranked 8th in the boxrec heavyweight division and he's the same guy who took a dive against Chisora.
David Haye boxes barely part time and when he does it's against nobodies, hell they were so desperate in the UK they were trying to hype up a Shannon Briggs fight with him for gods sake.
Tyson Fury is mess, entertaining personality but a mess.

Look you want to make some noise with Joshua , go fight Luis Ortiz next and soon, do it and juice the division up and then we'll have something to talk about.

Joshua vs Parker will be a huge fight whether the rest of the division is in great shape or not. I'm looking forward to it, as are many thousands of others

Yeah a complete unknown from the other side of the world who's beaten no one significant to date is all of a sudden on the lips of thousands of people, sure whatever you say.

Parker's name has been on the lips of thousands while all this 'who is Joshua going to fight next' stuff has been going on and that didn't even result in him fighting.

Joshua vs Parker will be a big fight when it comes about whether you care to acknowledge it or not. Cheers

Do you have a crystal ball? How can you be sure a big AJ-Parker unification is going to happen?

Boxing is rife with fights being talked up yet never happening.

Sure it will be, I've been watching fights hyped up for over 30 years nothing new to me.
But saying it's a big fight is a completely different issue to it actually being a big fight.

Please enlighten us all and tell us exactly what it is Parker has done I'm all ears .

If we limit ourselves only to what has actually happened this forum will just turn into a second Boxing History sub-forum.

I am as confident of it happening as you are of doubting it will happen and most likely nobody will be proven right or wrong for years

Voted Haye... Marketable name, and will test Joshua even though AJ would probably win. Good warmup for either Klitschko or Parker.

I'd fancy Price to comfortably beat Harrison.

Him getting a title shots after his last 3 fights is an absolute embarrassment. I don't think a proposed fight has ever disgusted me this much.
