    Eddie Hearn says Andy Ruiz Jr. and Filip Hrgovic are options for Anthony Joshua to fight in December if the mega-fight with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder doesn’t get done for Saudi Arabia.

    On a scale of one to ten in terms of attractiveness Ruiz fight for me is "3" (bad idea imo) and Hrgovic is "9".
    Problem is I dont belive that they in this moment take fight with Filip. To risky and too small benefits.

    Still hope Wilder fight happend. No idea whats the reason to not make this fight happend now.

    Joshua would seriously hurt Hrgovic. This would be like Chisora vs. Szpilka.

    Oh great, another trilogy no one asked for. I think Ruiz should fight someone closer to his own super blob division like Miller. None of these fights will happen this year.

    Dont think soo...
    Szpilka was glass chinned dude without defence skill with poor punching power and not best physical attributes to fight in Hw.

    Hrgovic is 198 cm, puncher with great chin probably and good amateur background.

    This will be hard fight for both.

    Far more likely we see aj vs hughie fury or chisora on a non ppv event.

    Possibly wallin, adeleye or kabayel if trying to push as a big fight rather than a warm up.

    I see 2 possibilites.
    1. Hearn speak with Fury and choose that way for Anthony- its gigantic money too, and losse to Fury for sure will be less dramatic to Anthony career. Win give him more too.
    2. Wilder (or both) want too many moeny. It can be last Wilder fight and if he risk high he want last pay day be possibile biggest.

    Wait a minute Hearn only said a few weeks back that it’s Wilder next for Joshua,I never had Hearn down as a liar spouting opponents names out and then going in another direction . lol

    Hearns just keeping Joshua’s name in the news. Hopefully the Wilder fight happens.

    I would love to see the Hrgovic fight. I would not complain about Wilder fight not happening if he fought Hrgovic.

    It will probably be Ruiz. They're probably promising him all you can eat 5 Guys burgers. Like they did with Chisora....
