If IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua comes through Saturdays title defence against tough Eric Molina successfully in Manchester, it looks highly likely that he will face former undisputed champion Wladimir Klitschko on April 29th of 2017.. The date has supposedly been set tentatively for London's Wembley stadium and could potentially draw a record breaking 85,000 plus crowd.. Joshua was willing to meet Wladimir on the uncoming Saturday date, until Wladimir reportedly pulled away from the fight with an injury.. A fight of this magnitude needs time to sell itself, promotions of this size need to gross interest and it was always highly unlikely it would have come to fruition on such short notice.. Joshua's task at hand at the weekend is not exactly a gimme.. Eric Molina comes to fight and proved himself last year in taking Deontay Wilder into the deep rounds of their WBC title bout, Molina since travelled to Poland to achieve the win of his career by upsetting Tomasz Adameck, in his own backyard by knockout, and with such a huge incentive on the line for the winner, Saturday should see a top drawer performance from both men..
interestingly on the undercard Current British heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte meets former British, European and commonwealth champion Derrick Chisora in a huge grudge match.. Dillian failed to impress in a couple of recent outings, yet had a chance to redeem himself against a man who's bad boy image uncannily mirrors his own.. Chisora lost a close decision to Kubrat Pulev last May for the European belt.
