AJ next opponent? times ticking away now...

Joshua v Lewinson?

[Rob3_142]

I still can't get how they make the Joshua v Klitchko fight, and for what belts. How are they going to sanction this fight with Joshua not inside the top 15 in any of the ABC titles, and Klitchko not in the top 15 for the IBF. They'd have to ignore their own policies to let this fight go through.

As I understand it, the different Champions are never in the top 15 of the other governing bodies (often mandatories/#1's aren't either) so that shouldn't be an issue. The WBO (for example) could make Klitschko "Interim" Champion (or similar) and make it a unification fight.

They wouldn't have to ignore their own policies, but they'd have to bend the rules until they looked like a plate of cooked spaghetti.

Yeah but then they have unification fights, but because Klitchko is not the champion, they cannot unify the belts. They would both be contesting a vacant title, with Joshua not being sufficiently ranked.

This is correct
Also the fact that Wladimir is still the WBO super-champion might help.

Boxing being boxing, I really don't supposed they governing bodies would care.

Is a super champion belt better than the normal world champion belt? So when a boxer gets to the top of his weight catagory and wins a world title he actually hasnt got to the pinnicle so can he go on to fight for a super belt and in tbe same fight defend his world title too?

Isn't there supposed to be an announcement about this today?

It became a Luis Oritz announcement instead. I'd say the 26th is a write off now.

Definitely. Looking first or second week of December now. Feel sorry for the Manchester fans though.

This week I think? There'll be a pre announcement of the official announcement of the announcement

[boxingknockout]

Joshua v Lewinson?

I thought I heard commentator call him 'Lewinson' even though he had Lewison written in huge letters on the trunks!!

[asdfjkl]

Atm, if it isn't Klitschko, I'm probably disappointed in whoever he choses, there's really no good opponend out there left at this moment, everybody is connected to someone else already.

How ridiculous is that though? Sky sports as well

I dreamt last night that he fought Wlad. It was at Wembley in dreadful weather, grey skies, wind, rain was lashing down. My stream went down after about 5 rounds with Joshua in trouble, he may even have been knocked down. I couldn't find a way to watch it, eventually find the result... 1-1. I'm guessing it was a knockdown each. I never found out who actually won the fight. Quite confused.

That's weird mate, I had a dream last night that AJ got banged about in a fight , was dropped twice and then Knocked out cold. True story.


When I woke up I noticed that I had shot my load all over the sheets

I had another sticky one direction dream! Justin Beiber was there and Floyd was walking him like a dog! He pished on my curtains so I texted the big show to come round. He arrived the side car of a motorbike being driven by Roy Walker

How much does the pre announcement cost? Do you get it with fight pass?

It was Adam Smith calling him 'Lewinson' all night.

Send Eddie a pic of your cock on Twitter and he'll post you a link if he likes what he sees

It's Wlad according to David Haye.

All the recent noise has been AJ vs Wlad. Seems to be what Hearn is genuinely aiming for.
