    No, Charr and Kabayel are two guys who shouldn't of been issued contracts by Fury team to fight him.

    AJ is coming off off fighting two non top quality HWs, need to fight one next (not even worse level than these guys in Charr and Kabayel).

    "Charr and Kabayel are two guys who shouldn't of been issued contracts by Fury team to fight him."

    But the fact is Fury didn't fight Charr or Kabayel, whereas Joshua's probably going to fight one of them. If I were managing Joshua I'd swerve those options and put him in with fellow gold medallist Tony Yoka:

    Joshua has two KOs in about six years.
    1 Shot to pieces old Helenius who's previous fight was against a company director in a castle.
    2 Shot to pieces old Pulev whos previous fight was in a cage at a strip club.

    Hearn on his latest ifl propaganda video working overtime to goad Fury into a fight with AJ. He's a full on bonafide embarrassment now

    Pulev **** to pieces? Only had one loss prior against Wlad in 2014.

    Went on to beat Forr at after and was robbed a win against Chisora.

    Helenius don't count for much granted.

    However 6 years has beaten Povetkin, Ruiz, Pulev, Franklin and Helenius. That's more impressive than Wilder has done in his whole career.

    "Went on to beat Forr at after and was robbed a win against Chisora."

    Chisora-victim Takam also outpointed Forrest and Anderson stopped Forrest in 2 in his next fight after Pulev. Pulev wasn't robbed against Chisora; Boxrec and Eyeonthering had it close, with Chisora winning.

    Helenius actually gave Joshua a lot more problems than Pulev, busted him up over 7 rounds. Despite Wilder sparking him in 1 10 months prior.

    "However 6 years has beaten Povetkin, Ruiz, Pulev, Franklin and Helenius"

    And? Even you have admitted that Wilder would beat 2020 Pulev and he beat Helenius easily. Povetkin was older and worse than Ortiz at that stage and Wilder's got a draw with Fury, which compares well with ATG Wlad's wide points loss and Whyte's schooling + one-punch KO.

    We also have to factor in Joshua's three losses to 25/1 underdog Ruiz and Usyk x2 over that period. AJ has three stoppage wins (all in the 2nd half of the fight, all against 39 year olds) in his last nine fights. Perhaps Manuel Charr will be next!

    Joshua's last fight may prove to have been the resurgence of his career. His one-shot KO must fill him with confidence. Ever since I saw the weigh-in, I realised the mindset Derek James has instilled in him. 2024 will be a defining year in the career of Anthony Joshua. Both Joshua and Wilder are waiting for the money to be put on the table - someone step up and deliver the world the fight they have been yearning for several years.

    Joshua’s promoter claims to be the best in the World and he’s been talking about this fight for 8 years. Why hasn’t Hearn stepped up?

    Do you want Hearn to deliver the money out of thin air? Both fighters have seen the money Saudi offered and won't fight each other for anything less.

    Fury-Usyk 1 and 2 will ensure Joshua doesn't fight for a belt in 2024 and based on the past 6 or 8 years of false promises, Joshua-Wilder won't happen in 2024 and probably never will.

    How exactly is 2024 going to be defining year for Joshua? He'll fight once, perhaps twice and the first fight will likely be against another pushover.

    Just as bad the 2nd fight will be Whyte 2 for Box Office Loot after another Drugs Test swept under the Matchroom Carpet.

    AJ is completely shot at this point and has been exposed. An overhyped fighter, through and through.

    They didn’t see the money. It was all talk. Hearn hasn't delivered the fight in 8 years. You can't blame Skills Challenge for that.

    The money was there. Contracts were being negotiated. And then Skills Challenge collapsed. No fault of Joshua or Wilder or their respective teams. Wilder hasn't fought for over a year - get back in the ring against anyone!

    Huge multi-millionaires not getting in the ring due to an excuse about money.

    Jesus Wept

    Cannot see any reason why Joshua cannot fight Wilder next month except the colour of yellow.
