    Gah I was looking forward to this

    Possible replacements? Hmmm....Ortiz would be great. Michael Hunter maybe?

    There's no chance Whyte vs Joshua happens over in America, maybe Ortiz instead?

    I was thinking that Andy Ruiz Jr would be a good stand in for the Americans (latino audience)?

    He is due to fight this weekend, so he could just cancel that fight, and arrange another camp for AJ

    So what did Apollo Creed do - gave the great American outsider Rocky a chance at the title. Ok, he’s not American, but he fits the bill - AJ vs Kash Ali

    Just a guess but if Miller is out the next sellable fight stateside is Ortiz.

    I reckon I'd flatten the big roid head, I hit harder on the punch machine so it's a given. If I make enough noise I might get the chance just like Rocky.

    Rocky got his big break by pounding meat so that's what you should do too. Pound that meat as hard as you can!

    Trying to narrow down potential options I can’t really come up with many.

    Ortiz, Rivas, Kownacki, Pulev would all be decent enough.

    Can’t see the Whyte fight happening a) over there and b) on short notice.

    Andy Ruiz junior has got a fight this weekend so that’s a doubt and a poor fight anyway.

    A wildcard choice would be Zhilei Zhang, matchroom signed him recently and would be great exposure for the Chinese market - but I think they’ve signed him in the hope AJ will go over to China and fight.

    Eddie needs to get on the phone to Ortiz’s Manager and make a serious offer

    Who does the chinny robot face now on his massive us debut on obscure streaming channel?

    They were already scraping the bottom of the barrel with this fat tub of lard (but he can really TALK koogs) would they give Shannon the cannon the call?

    He’s the two time heavyweight champion of the world koogs, he can TALK, and he really believes he can beat big iosh. And he’s a real life AMERICAN. What more do the fans want?
