    I have a feeling Dubois will become email champ and hold it hostage till after Usyk vs Fury then fight Fury for it at Wembely next year in the spring. Gives Fury more leverage in a potential retirement fight with AJ at wembely next Summer.
    No way Brick Top is going to give Hearn any leg up with the HW's

    Is Zhang shot to bits enough for AJ? Difficult to say: 42 seems ripe, Hearns junior might feel it’s worth rolling the dice

    more likely though they go after Wilder now he is certified a shot to pieces old name fighter

    AJ DUCKS DDD with certainty

    AJ went a bit stiff when he was told Dubois called him out after the win. He wants none of DDD.

    I think it'll be :

    AJ vs Zhang
    Parker vs Dubois

    Or

    AJ vs Parker
    Dubois vs Zhang

    I think AJ would prefer Parker as he doesn't have the heavy hands.

    Think the Saudis will bankroll an AJ-Parker rematch given the first one was a stinker?

    It’s not impossible since Parker has been one of the star turns so far but forcing AJ-DDD would be a coup and all-British…

    Don't see why AJ wouldn't face Dubois. I think Joshua can KO him early

    Usyk v Fury, Joshua v Dubois, Parker v Whyte rematch (Parker said he wants it), Joyce v Hrgovic, Zhang v Kabayel.

    Let me tell you, if Joshua hits Dubois with a right hand and Dubois shakes it off like he did with Hrgovic then he will break Joshua's heart quicker than he did Hrgovic. Joshua wants no part of Dubois for now when there are more lucrative, much easier fights for him

    Joshua picked on a green 29 year old Zhang.

    There’s a few interesting fights out there across the division.

    Joshua is obviously right up there at the top of the pile (excluding the two rematching).

    Zhang has shown he’s no mug with a few decent wins and robbed of a win against Hrgovic.

    Dubois picked up an interim belt with a statement win over Hrgovic.

    Parker has put himself back up there with a few good wins.

    Kabayel has put himself in the mix.

    Wilder and Whyte fall under the same bracket of being shite but being “names” and are after pay days. They can be thrown in to the match making above.

    Joshua hits much harder and faster than Hrgovic.

    Surley they have sparred before? @Heisenberg you ever been around when or if they have?

    I think we might get Joshua - Wilder. It’s now or never, Wilder’s stock is plummeting and plummeting, it’s barely acceptable now but it’s the easiest fight on paper for AJ. Zhang and Dubois are a bit risky considering AJ is at the forefront to fight Usyk / Fury winner.

    Great fishing and a few will be in the net.

    Coming soon AJ v Danny Williams, Michael Sprott and Matt Skelton all on Matchroom Box Office with supporting act Derek Chisora v Audley Harrison and Dillian Whyte v Scott Gammer.

    Who in their right mind would pay for Joshua vs Wilder now.
    Chisora would even be a more competitive opponent at this stage.

    How anyone can think Joshua is the main man in the division with a total risk averse CV except Usyk twice?

    A genuine elite champion would have no hesitation in his own ability and it is comical that people are talking about Dubois and Zhang being too much of a risk!!!!

    Jesus wept at The Humble Paper Champion who should be fighting every 3 months to wipe out the so called dangers before being schooled by Usyk for the 3rd time.
