Why is Wlad taking the fight? Those sparring sessions must be vital. Witnesses said - "Joshua did well for a novice," "Joshua learned a lot," "Joshua was competitive for a few rounds" probably translates to Joshua got whooped.





It's the last roll of the dice for Wlad and i think win or lose he retires, it's THE only Massive and last payday he can get in one of the biggest Heavyweight fights the world has seen in years and years crowd wise.
Like him or Loathe him he will go down in Heavyweight history due to the length of his reign and number of fights regardless if a good amount of opponents were not worth a wank compared to proper Heavyweights from years gone bye.

Would love to know what AJ and Wlad are getting paid for this as it's gotta be an insane amount of money that surely will surpass what Froch and Groves got paid in either of their fights.

Huge fight but more importantly a Brilliant matchup as we know AJ is gonna come to KO him unlike Fury who used mind games and oddball Boxing tactics in an absolute borefest. The Media Hype will be starting to snowball soon and we already have a decent Quigg fight on the undercard.

This is THE Heavyweight fight the world has waited years for.
I'd be genuinely gutted if Wlad pulled out of this but do fully believe AJ is gonna put a serious beating on him and go on to be a multiple belt holder and finally meet Fury for all the marbles which again only happens at Wembley infront of another 90,000 fans.
Infact AJ v Fury would be even bigger as Fury would Market the whole thing himself
