Sets up the next couple of years, with both Haye and Fury wanting Joshua. Some big fights over here by the looks of it, Fury v Klitchsko in the NW, Eddie Hearn was mentioning Wembley for Joshua next, possibly the same date?

I'm reserving judgement until I've seen Joshua box someone who can box/move. His footwork doesn't look great. Haye/Fury aren't so easy to catch with big right hands like that.

Very surprised they are talking about Wembley with all the big names tied up. Think it will be Joseph Parker who is hardly a household name.

Klitschko at the Manc Arena also surprising. He was selling out 55k venues in Germany.

Judging by some of the things said by Fury after the first fight I got the impression it was in the rematch clause that K2/Boente would get the choice of where it was held.

Maybe NORTHERNSOUL is right and they have had to settle for this after the big venues fell through.
