    Joshua's career is over now, he's not rebuilding after that demolition. He doesn't deserve the Fury and Wilder fights either. All 3 of them don't. Time to go back to competing in the Olympia, or become a boxing pundit sitting next to David Price on channel 5. Iol I would love it, if big pricey puts him down in the studio, for mocking his plumbing skills.

    Soft touch knockover.
    Whyte rematch
    Fury, loose, retire,
    Win, last crack at a title holder, win, one more and retire. Loose call it a day as a good but not great heavy.

    Perhaps broken heart? They can take a while to heal.

    I have always said that Fury makes a fool out of AJ. However, I suspect Joshua might knock Fury out now. Yes, really. The big man's reflexes are that split second slower and I think AJ can take Fury's power...yes, i said that...I suspect from here on in, he beats Fury. And, I think he likely beats Parker. Wilder? Logic says he beats Deontay but if Wilder could turn up even 60% his aura frightens the shite out of AJ and he gets stopped. I'll also say that AJ beats Bakole and Zhang.. Hey, shoot me down, but AJ isn't a bad fighter. He had two cracking fights with a better Usyk than Fury did. I always find it strange the way people flag of Fury and AJ yet laud Usyk...he has gone 48 rounds with them and both pushed him very hard.

    And he’s got some charisma about him. That’s why I said not a half bad idea.

    hell, if it turns out he can act, the opponent in the next Creed movie?

    I need to see Bakole look good again. If he’s back to form in his next fight, I wouldn’t bet on AJ over him. That Dubois fight made me seriously question AJ’s chin. The way he was reacting to Dubois’s shots, looked like Dubois could have knocked him out with a jab.

    as to Fury vs AJ, that’s interesting. I think Fury can outbox AJ, but Fury’s durability isn’t looking too good anymore, and up against a decent boxer like AJ who has big power? AJ might well knock Fury out. That sequence in Usyk-Fury 1 where Usyk was ragdolling Fury and landed all those unanswered shots, with a bunch of time left in the round? Swap AJ in for Usyk in that scenario and the fight is over.

    If Tony "Bellend" Bellew can star in a Cteed movie, so can AJ!

    This mysterious injury to Joshua’s ‘mangina’ must be a bad one.. I heard a rumour he's recently been working with Jonathan Banks

    his losses to Usyk have aged well. So its really just the Dubois loss messing with him.

    Eddie Hearn has confirmed Joshua needs 8 weeks to recover from a 'minor setback' in training.

    So this is a second and presumably separate 'injury' since the Dubois debacle. Well according to Hearn, anyway.
