It won't as Hearn has already guaranteed Joshua will fight on Dec 10. Like Wlad, smug Eddie is hardly short of a few quid with a chock block stable of big fighters. Just has to find a sellable opponent.

For the Wlad-Joshua fight not happening...meh, Wlad's been out of the ring since about this time last year, he may feel as though he's a bit rusty and that would put him at a big disadvantage fighting AJ who just stopped Breazeale in June. People seem to think Wlad is finished and it certainly isn't the first time they've believed that and eventually those doubters will be correct and the older Wlad gets the odds start getting better for the doubters. We're just going to have to wait and see what is left in the tank.
I think Anthony Joshua is the goods and he should be ready to beat any heavyweight in the world if not right now then fairly soon. Wlad is going to have to be on his A game to beat him...he's not going to have that A game unless he's knocked off the ring rust. There's already the chance that Wlad has overtrained as well which certainly wouldn't help him vs AJ.
It's disappointing for AJ not to get the fight vs Wlad immediately and I am sure it's disappointing for his fans, but if Wlad has anything left in the tank this fight will eventually happen and the odds are going to be in AJ's favor the longer it takes to make the fight because Wlad isn't getting any younger.
bottled it
Say what you want to, he's not out there shoveling cocaine up his nose and talking shit on Twitter.Quote:

So you admit he's bottled it?
If it makes you feel better you go right along with that, it won't bother me.Quote:

It likely means a short turnaround for the fight following that one.
Wlad was going to fight Fury and since he doesn't fight Anthony Joshua he's "bottled it"....doesn't seem to make much sense but run with it if you like I mean I can't stop you from being an idiot
Wants to knock off ring rust my bollox
hes bottled it big time
Take on an easy fight in Germany or fight away against a young hungry puncher. Easy choice and then unify for even more money against AJ.Quote:
