2018 has been a fantastic year in boxing, particulary the heavyweight division.
Barely a month has went by without a cracking bout.
The year will sign off with another cracker.
The re-match between Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte.

If the Hearns don't ruin it, it has the potential to be packed with super bouts for the next 4-5 years. If they don't get Joshua to fight Fury or Wilder then I fear it will fizzle out. Listening to the older Hearn on the radio--it sounds like that might happen. You have at least 5 massive fights in the offing:- Wilder v Fury II, Wilder v Joshua, Wilder v Joshua II, Joshua v Fury and Joshua v Fury II. I think Wilder v Fury II is a given but as for the others, who knows. It'll be a travesty if Fury v Joshua doesn't happen. Hearn yapping on about the "Lineal Champion" tag and saying he had no idea what it meant was annoying as feck.

Usyk and Joshua defo now Wilder has been told Fury is mandatory. The WBC belt is becoming a joke belt to be honest its a keep it tight. Joshua wants to fight wilder but is wary of fury. I loves first whyte fight with chisora but feel its same old same old i wont pay for the fight.
Not until 6PM on 22nd of course lol when i will naturally say i cant miss this
Doesn't matter what Joshua wants, he'll do what he's told by Hearn. Big robot.

And so it's coming to pass. The Joshua team is getting on my thrupennies. He's booked Wembley for April vs Wilder supposedly---how is that gonna fit in with the Wilder Fury rematch? Full of piss and wind. Used to really like Joshua but looks like his back room team have him on a string and calling every shot he makes. Can't see him ever fighting Fury at this rate. Maybe Wilder but deffo not Fury. Really hope I'm proven wrong.

It is a disgrace this is ppv and frampton too. they dont deserve it - I would never pay for a frampton fight. Only reason i would for chisora is first fight was epic and if i were pissed.
As for Joshua - its Wilder who is running scared. 100%. he doesnt want it. Joshua should just walk away build his legacy then he will fight Fury when he beats Wilder.
That fight will be the mother of all fights. I would love to see wilder v joshua and winner plays fury. Wilder will NOT fight josh in london though.
if Joshua is to build a legacy, it involves fights v Fury and Wilder plus rematches. Can't see it happening. The prick that is Hearn will see to that. Potentially the greatest 3 way battle will be ruined by a slimey cockney rodent. Shame.
