    This means that his opponent will be Joshua.

    Hrgović is already contracted to fight as a replacement.

    That will not happen, everything is planned for Joshua to fight again, and if that happens, then I want Joshua to lose.

    Well, you can even want for AJ to take you out on a date, your personal feelings don't matter in the real world. Both Usyk's and Fury's camps confirmed Hrgović is contracted to be a replacement.

    Needs to be Hrgovic really. Not a scintillating fight, but the most realistic option.

    Yep.... if Fury delays again (sigh) then Usyk has to fight Hrgovic to keep the IBF belt.

    If Fury delays again then **** that guy and I sincerely hope he loses his zero to Chisora in their 4th match.

    Probably the best fight out there for him imo if Fury falls through. Zhang would have hardly any chance and probably be stopped around 8-9. Can't see Parker doing much either, and besides both are likely to be tied up in the rematch.

    No it doesn’t, it’s contracted to be Hrgovic. This is just speculation and rubbish, there is 0 demand for AJ vs Usyk 3.

    In my opinion, AJ will have a big mental hurdle to deal with if he faces Usyk again. Twice he has been seriously schooled. Yes his new trainer may have loosened him up a bit, and let's face it he needed it, but I'm still not sure he's anywhere near the pugilistic ability required.

    I agree that MOST fans don't want Usyk III but the promoters and the AJ fanboys want it and I'm pretty sure the al Turki table cloth head wants it so ..,...Hrgovic might be left out in the cold with Fury's stripped belt.

    Joshua is not fighting Usyk again. He decisively lost twice and there are no calls or campaigns for that to happen. Hrgovic has already been
    in line, he's first in line TBH

    Just to reiterate: Even though Mauricio (son-of-Don-King-patsy) Sulaiman said the WBC would OK an AJ fight vs. the winner of Usyk-Fury, the reality is that Hrgovic is the mandatory in order to keep the IBF belt. So presumably AJ would find himself fighting for only three of the four (if that) belts.

    And I think most fight fans would prefer to see Hrgovic get his shot rather than continue to be left out in the cold.

    Who on earth would pay to see Joshua bent over and spanked again by Usyk? I don't care how big a fan of Joshua you are you can't want to hand over your cash to see your fighter lose again and beating Ngannou and Wallin does nothing to convince people Joshua can with 3rd time around, it would be even worse than Fury/Wilder 3.

    Hrgovic is the mandatory and the IBF are real sticklers for facing mandatories, if it doesn't happen then I'm sure it will be Hrgovic that is Usyk's next dance partner.
