Joshua v Wilder. Vegas September 16th 2017

I might be wrong. I've been wrong before. But if Joshua comes through against Klitschko (& I think he will) his next fight could be the winner of Haye Bellew. Assuming he beats Haye

in a summer fight he could then fight Wilder in Vegas.
I chose September 16th because that's Mexican Independence Day & (since ODLH) they ALWAYS have a big fight around that weekend. But it might be a bit early for Joshua Wilder. Shame as I'll be in the West around then.
Anyway, when/if Joshua fights in the US against Wilder who wants to go? I'll be there.

Wlad April 29th and Wilder September 16th
There's four and a half months between the 2, there's no way he faces Haye in a summer fight in between
I would be surprised if he takes another big fight next year. Wlad, then a filler like tonight later in the year.
Wilder possibly the following year. If he faces EITHER Haye or Wilder at some point next year after Wlad I'll be delighted

You're right. I changed my mind halfway through the post but my birthday is September 16th so I wasn't changing the fcking title
I think it will be (assuming he wins) Klitschko April 29th, Haye/Bellew July also at Wembley and then Wilder in November in the US.

I hope you're right, I really do, but we have to think about Hearns PPV dates, and his ambition for putting AJ in big fights

I'm fairly confident that's how it will roll next year. Again, I am assuming Joshua beats them all, which I think he will although I'm not saying it's all easy for him.
Klits is old & without a win in almost 2 years (by fight night).
I'm still on the fence about Haye. He's 37 nest year & without a proper fight in years - and many think Bellew won't be either. Plus he's had major surgery.
I'd love to see him & Wilder.

Can't see him fighting three live opponents in the same year, he'll take an easy voluntary at some point

Why the hell would AJ fight Bellow? If he doesn't dare to fight top contenders, he should give up his belt. On top of that, Wilder should fight Povetkin next, not anyone else.

If he takes and wins those 3 fights then he has every right to declare himself staying humble!

I don't think the Wilder fight will happen in 2017. I think the plan will be Klitschko then Haye. My feeling is that ortiz is the Hearn trojan horse for Wilder. If ortiz beat Wilder then that would get another title in the matchroom stable. I'd expect them to try and get a Parker v Whyte fight for the same reason.

If they go Klitschko, Haye, Wilder then a returning Fury for the next fights I'll be pretty impressed. In fact if he wins the first one of those then I'll start to be won over

Provided they both keep winning I see AJ v Wilder being built for a big summer 2018 fight.

Will Joshua's criminal record allow him into the US?

He doesn't need to go the US. There is more money to be made in the UK. If he beats Wlad it won't be the only fight he has at Wembley stadium.
