    If the Fury fight does not happen (it's Fury so let's face it who bloody knows) this could make sense as Joshua gets a free world title shot and Fabio gets for me an easy fight and a chance to gain some celebrity in the process by giving Joshua a good seeing to Dubois style.

    Fabio is technically overmatched but, his chin, power and heart are unquestionable. Wardley TKO 10 in a war.

    I actually prefer this fight to Joshua vs Fury.

    Its who lands first. Wardley often enough takes a lot of shots before he pulls out the KO, he cant get away with doing that with AJ, that being said, wouldn't surprise me if Wardley caught him early like he did Frazier Clarke.

    Its hard to predict how todays Joshua will look like in real, hard fight.
    Fabio is worse in boxing technique but he for sure got power to heart Joshua.
    If Anthony will make same stupid mistake as he did im Dubois fight he probably will loss by KO.
    If he work smart, box on his highest level he actually can win this even before last Bell.

    Parker heart Wardley im their fight. Joshua still got better power and skills than Joseph. He only is not soo sure on case of taking shots.

    I Haven't seen a lot of him, but what I have seen suggests Wardley likely has too much dog in him, along with contributing attributes, for AJ.

    Id say Wardley stoppage by 10th.

    Wardley would murder him.

    He'd look a bit like he did against Dubois, but worse.

    I told all of you, Wardley would drill aj into the canvas. They better make that fight next, joshua can have another go at the championship and Wardley can add another name

    If AJ was in his prime I’d lean towards him but right now I’d have to say Wardley KO.

    Wardley wins within the first 3, AJ is done.

    Wardley easy KO...AJ looked gun-shy and un-confident at times even against a Youtuber half his size, and took 6 rounds to get him out of there.

    Lol, none of these older guys are getting near Wardley. An awkward noob-ish guy who can really hit, with a mean ass junkyard dog in him? Recipe for being upset by some shot flying in from a weird angle no schooled boxer would ever throw from.

    Just watch. Both AJ and Fury will nope the hell out of fighting Wardley (assuming Wardley retains that belt), even though both of them should be thinking "I can beat this guy, he's like a less good Wilder"

    Wardley is all wrong for Joshua. A gutsy brawler with elite power.

    Prime for prime it's a toss up but this version of Joshua is getting stopped.

    I wanna see this fight! (Unless Joshua-Fury gets made; that takes priority.)
