    Sanchez or Dubois. I would say Wallin but it appears he's possibly fighting Hrgovic?

    I like a Joshua/Joyce match. I see that as a real war for as long as it lasts.

    Joshua v Joyce as well as the fact they know each other very well and both don’t like each other now,always part of the recipe for a decent fight .

    Good fight. A guy who is scared to lose v a guy desperate for a win.

    Joshua v Joyce, the Battle of Britain, would generate quite a lot of hype over here. AJ v Dubois a little less, but still a fun fight. I see Joshua winning both, the latter by stoppage.

    AJ is still hugely popular here and, though his fights are no longer the events they once were, even casuals know Joyce now from his two recent pastings. If AJ beat Joyce well, he's back in the conversation and the stage is set for him to fight Wilder, which is one of the most exciting fights I can think of.

    If I was AJ I’d jump on zhang but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s wallin or kabayal

    Zhang is a good winnable fight for him, considering what he did to him last time they fought.

    In december it will be Kabayel.

    Late january it may be Hrgovic.

    Time is right to make the Wilder fight, why drag their feet now?

    Spot on and how many more times can this fight possibly be 'delayed?'

    It is like the sign outside the hotel that reads 'Free Beer Tomorrow', it catches your attention but you soon realize the tomorrow never comes.

    He should be fighting a top level opponent after fighting other people's victims in Franklin and Helenius. Guessing he won't though.

    If he want fight Wilder near future and belive in himself he should try with Ajagba. Similar boxing style with hard straight punches, elastic dude with litlle better reach and similar height.

    Good prep.

    More realistic scenario he can beat Warren 2 fighters- Joyce and Dubois. Both will take this because they are in deep ....

    Joshua beat both probably.
