Comments Thread For: Hearn: Sky Rejected Fury-Klitschko - They See Joshua as The Future

[removed]

At the end of the day, when has Wlad ever been involved in an entertaining fight? Since he got knocked out and adopted his safety first strategy, it's nearly impossible to look good against him. He's bigger than pretty much anyone other than Fury, has a brilliant jab and will grab and maul if you get anywhere near him. If you go in kung ho like Pulev, he's going to knock you out.

People seem to think that a Joshua or a Wilder would go into a Klitschko fight and just knock him over like he's one of these endless bums who have been wheeled in. Fury beat Klitschko because of his size and his ability to take Wladimir's weapon away from him, his jab. Would Joshua be capable of the movement, feints etc that Fury utilised against the former 12 year unbeaten champ? I doubt that very much.

They're using their Sky platform and Anthony Joshua's popularity to go head to head with Boxnation and at the same time outdo Tyson Fury. Hearn will push a Chisora fight or someone of that calibre at Wembley and the casual fans will eat it up. It will probably do bigger numbers than Fury/Klitschko as well as the first fight wasn't a crowd pleaser. I was invested in the fight and enjoyed the performance and build-up etc but I can understand why people said it was boring, same thing is said about Mayweather but I have watched all his fights so.....

After hearing this news I subscribed to Boxnation as the schedule is worth it Imo. There's Spence/Algieri 16th Golovkin/Wade 23rd Saunders/Bursak 30th Canelo/Khan May 7th Wilder/Povetkin May 21st and Fury/Klit July 9th. £50 for 4 months of boxing. **** Sky! As a boxing fan I'd rather watch Fury/Klitschko than another bull**** fight like last night, A champion freezing like that is embarrassing and only proved Martin to be a bottler no matter how much talent he supposedly had

I actually like Joshua but the hype is starting to get to me. All I've seen online since Joshua beat that bum is how he's going to beat Fury and he's the best HW on the planet when he hasn't even fought any one that could fight back apart from Dillian Whyte. He's a paper champ with a meaningless belt and if Eddie Hearn sticks to his word and they fight Fury later this year then I'll be proved right. I guarantee he has 2 easy fights then fights the Parker/Takam winner though

It's the other way around as Sky has more subscribers.

Secondly, Hearn caters to casuals and Boxnation is for hardcores. If anything they aren't even competitors if you ask me.
