I wonder how much they are expecting people to pay for this drivel. Fury v Chisora was bad enough but atleast the public knew who Chisora was
Joshua also sparred Bakole who would have jumped at the opportunity. The softest option selected and I fully expect another Bob Mirovic type opponent.

Surely it can't be McKean if Hearn is saying this. Otto Wallin maybe? Hearn might use his performance against Fury to justify his "quality heavyweight" statement.
Another little known fact is hes a distant relative of Lenny "the guvnor" Mclean, so he'll obviously be warm on the cobbles and ready to ice AJ and all of the watford posse in the the event AJ goes on another post Usyk 2 style rampage
I hear Freddie Cunningham cuts up rough, been known to carry a personalised 258 letter opener in his jacket pocket.

It could be Zhang because Matchroom recently made a post about him. Zhang would be a great fight to be honest because he punches hard and they have history from fighting in the 2011 World Championships. Wallin wouldn't be terrible either. I think Zhang is the more interesting fight though. To be honest, Zhang would probably beat Whyte right now and I think more people would rather see Joshua Zhang / Wallin rather than Whyte (apart from casual fans).
If AJ has any aspirations to be world champion again he should be stopping people like Hrgovic, He needs to get back to what he does best and that is smashing people up. But he hasn't got the minerals anymore and i think Hrgovic is a live dog in that fight which is the reason why it wont happen. AJ needs 2 knock overs to see if he has anything left before he gets stopped by Fury in December.
Joshua only smashed up old men and/or total puddings in his career. Check his CV and you will find he has never knocked out a non pudding or old man. Usyk took everything Joshua threw for 24 rounds as did Spud Ruiz in both fights along with Paint Dry Parker and Takam. Everything about Joshua has been grossly exaggerated including his power yet a little fat Mexican walked through it. Earn convinced people Joshua was elite even though his limitations were clear to see in the Pudding Whyte fight. Carefully matched against old men and puddings since until he finally stepped up for a live test against Usyk. Fury and Usyk play with him plus Wilder, Bakole and Joyce would badly bust him up. There is much pain ahead for him every time he faces a live opponent.
