AJ vs Kevin Johnson is available via Sky On Demand.

He's penciled in for a fight on the 18th of July in Manchester. At that short a notice we better lower our expectations in terms of an opponent. They're talking about a proper fight in September versus the likes of Manuel Charr, Derek Chisora, or Dillain 'the villain' Whyte.

The Villian please.

I reckon it will be a safer option though.

The Klitchko brothers were spotted watching Deontay Wilder's win over Eric Molina.


It was hilarious to see Wilder wobbled in the 3rd by a 100-1 shot, a fighter who was essentially the weakest challenger they could possibly of hand picked. Deontay Wilder's career does indeed look to be a house of cards.

Eddie is doing his nut, because Khan won't even entertain fighting Kell Brook Cheesy

He needs to get it sorted before AJ is filling Wembley every summer for the next 5 years and they have missed the summer wembley slot for good.

Is AJ's biggest problem that heavyweight boxing has gone out of fashion? The quality isn't there at the moment compared to other divisions.

Or is his timing perfect and, if the division improves over the next three years or so - which logic suggests it will - he could be putting together an elite record in front of increasing crowds before the monster fights?

Amir Kahn is a fool who shoots his mouth off whilst having zero control over the choice of his next opponent.

Was talking about Cardiff for those 2, not Wembley.

Can't blame him for wanting to fight Mayweather/Pacquaio though.

Surely he can always fight Brook after he loses to either of those, but not likely to be able to go the other way?

No really he literally has no choice over who he fights. Kahn is advised "managed/promoted" by Al Haymon and part of the contract allows Al full control over the choice of opponent.

For example Al didn't like being outbid by Jay Z for the Peter Quillan vs Matt Korobov fight so he exercised his right to cancel Quillans side of the deal thus Quillan had to relinquish his belt. Quillan would of got $1.2 mill for defending against Korobov, instead he'd of been lucky to earn half of that versus Andy Lee, you can't make this stuff up.

Why would you agree to have that clause in your contract?

Don't you worry about that George, Uncle Al will take good care of you, remember that is why you signed with him in the first place.

It's a pity he struggled in his last fight. Had he come through that with flying colours we might have seen a silly price on Fedor. I'd have Fedor a 1/3 shot to win inside 3.

Really though that was an extreme example to highlight the contract clause. Jay Z paid miles over the odds just to piss off Al ( Beyonce has a lawsuit against the music executive).

Haymon has the biggest bankroll in boxing and guys like Khan are paid exceptionally well in reasonably easy fights.
