What's your view's that what possible next things can happen for Joshua if he win's against Martin? In my view he had not any option except to face Fury.

Continue to learn with some mandatories. The IBF will probably throw a few soft balls.

Fury in Summer 2017 provided he's still got some belts makes for a stadium show.

If he wins then i think the Furys would be crazy not to try and arrange the fight this summer, especially if the Wlad fight keeps dragging or stalls completely.

Would be worth a fortune to them and you would have to favour Fury at this moment in time.

I've always thought Joshua would beat Fury, don't see Matchroom having any fears about making the fight.

The big money is Fury. But would camp AJ want Fury before several easy defences? I'm not sure. I would like to see AJ face Fury at some point maybe 2 or 3 more fights.

Joshua may well be able to make more money having regular defences against average world level opposition than fighting Fury and probably losing.

It's best that he avoids Fury for as long as possible, at least until he improves significantly.

In a word, no. They'll turn him into a heavyweight Kell Brook. Same sanctioning body. Guaranteed 3/4 ppvs a year that way.

I think so.

Fury fight is a stadium filler, and Hearn has a hard-on for Stadium fights now, so he'll be looking to build one for next summer since Khan v Brook was a let down.

Given the calibre of PPV that gets served up with Joshua headlining, if he has to face the likes of Stiverne, Helenius, Takam etc (just picking names at random there) then you can guess that's 2-3 PPVs in the bank for Fast Eddie and Sky.

Hearn is not in control of Fury in any shape, way or form. Mick Hennessy will be at least joint promoter and Tyson will want the lions share of the purse. The Fury's won't budge, either. They will tell Camp Eddie to go f uck himself, no matter how many cheques he waves about.

Seems ridiculous seeing as Fury is the true Heavyweight Champion, but financially he would need Joshua more than Joshua needs him.

Against the same opponent, Joshua would bring in more money than Fury every time. Joshua vs Cunningham would make more than Fury vs Ortiz despite the latter being a considerably more even and interesting fight.

If they fought this year, you'd back Fury but we don't know where Joshua's ceiling is yet so in the future? Who knows

Considering they're the same age, we don't know where Fury's ceiling is.

I'd guess Fury-Wilder would be much bigger in America and anywhere other than Britain than AJ-Wilder. If he beats Martin, he joins the long list of paper champions.

I could see this happening too unfortunately, if they are making gazillions fighting easy opposition why would they risk it.

If Joshua gets hold of that heavyweight title Hearn can probably have stadium fights any time he wants, even against average opponents. The public seem to be lapping Joshua up, Hearn will play along with that no problem without risking his cash cow against Fury or other live opponents.

Don't forget his mandatory could be Joseph Parker. He looks decent then again not been hit back yet.

This fight has more than enough demand right now but they should build it for a couple of years, both of them will keep selling their tickets and winning, Tyson will keep talking, Joshua will keep crushing, it's a promoter's dream. The timelines are perfect for a matchup in both of their primes, and Joshua will win convincingly. Then it'll be on to beating Wilder (if Deontay hasn't already lost by then), maybe Haye, and later, Parker.

Would like to see Martin-Joshua Fight in Vegas. Wouldn't hurt to have Fury have a Defense in the States either. Have a decent undercard with Some US heavies in the UK and both the live gate and PPV for a Fury-Anthiny fight would go through the roof.

I think he'll have a couple of soft defences first. I can guarantee Chisora will get a title shot and maybe even Price if he can string a few wins together in the meantime.

not just yet, but theres time enough for fury to outbox joshua

I'm not sure joshua will be afforded that luxury. If Parker fights Takam in May that's a final eliminator for the IBF strap and the mandatory would be due for Jan 2017. Also Pulev vs Chisora has just been made and that's also an IBF eliminator.

It's going to be a stadium fight when it does eventually happen, the promoters will demand that. And with Fury boxing Klitschko in June/July that probably takes the chances of it happening this year away, unless they can do the Millenium stadium.

Asking if he would man v man - yes without doubt

Asking if promoter v promoter - no

HOWEVER if Joshua beats Martin handily eddie would offer silly money and Furys would take it.


Who makes Fury more ££ than Joshua (if he beats martin)

I'd expect him to do his real mandatory, most likely Takam or Parker, meanwhile I expect Fury to fight Klitschko and Wilder/Povetkin, after that they could fight together. Meanwhile can Haye fight Briggs, Ortiz and that recent Australian beltwinner and fight the winner of Fury Joshua at that time.

Somehow I doubt it if David Haye has the balls to fight Briggs and Ortiz, but that sounds to me as the current most logic prediction.
