Anthony Joshua v Carlos Takam 28 October 2017

[Primo Carnera]

Looks like it's Takam replacing Pulev. No doubt Joshua will cop a load of shit for this as if it were his fault!

Well I blame AJ for it

If Wilder can scare people onto PEDS then it's only fair that AJ can scare people into injuring themselves

Is it just me or do HWs seem to constantly pull out of fights?

Not ideal. No offence to Takam, he's in the number 3 position so it's only right he gets the job. You've got Whyte V Helenius on the card but If Whyte Helenius falls through for any reason other than Dillian getting a rematch with AJ, Dillian would literally kill Eddie Hearn.

I know no one really gives a fuck about Pulev/Takam, it's all about Joshua and people will still get to see him beat some fucker up. But it does take a bit of a hit now that it's a late replacement. Personally, I would have liked to have seen Miller and his mouth brought in.

So Pulev is out of the way, Ortiz is out of the way. A deal with HBO is right around the corner. Basically it’s Wilder next or never. Good

[Fenster]

I know most on here don't give a shit and 99% of the crowd wont but Yafai-Ishida, Whyte-Helinus, Buglioni-Johnson and a bunch of prospects is a bloody good night of boxing for a boring nerd like me.

Glad they've saved the card and Takam is a good late replacement. If they made Dave Allen or Lenroy Thomas the replacement anyone that bought a ticket would still turn up.

Takam is respectable considering the circumstances. Should be an easy night for Joshua and yes I'll still be happy to watch him beat some fucker up lol

I’m no more or less interested to be honest

Not AJ's fault

Wonder if this will stay on ppv / box office ??

Difficult to justify now

Though Hearn is saying AJ is not prepared for this opponent as all focussed on Pulev style - scary stuff !!!!!

I think Eddie will put it on BBC 1 free to air now.

Of course it won't be taken off PPV. Nobody was paying to see Palev (who the fuck is Palev) nothing has changed really. AJ has an easy fight and a nice payday ahead of him.

Maybe the first time I’ve ever agreed with you
