    I'd like to see AJ fight Wilder and Fury.

    Joshua should take a rematch with Dubois

    That fight makes 0 sense for him at his stage of his career

    Zero practicality I agree.

    When it comes to AJ though he’d certainly kill your ‘YouTuber’ mind

    Same same. Still nice intriguing fights with big buildups.

    Hearn has been saying in interviews turki is pushing for him to fight some kick-boxer. He’s just made like 40 million fighting a guy who would struggle to win a national level title at cruiser weight, he’s got a few years left in his career. He doesn’t need to be wasting a training camp for a kick boxer. That isn’t going to help him prepare for Fury. He should fight someone in the top 15 on an American card if he wants to build on that profile and do some proper work.

    He should fight someone that prepares him for fury but wonder who that could be

    Long overdue but still lucrative paydays against Fury and/or Wilder are the only sensible options.

    No point going for gold until after Usyk has retired. Usyk clearly has Joshua's number.

    He should look to fight in the US again. He finally has the profile in the states now that he hoped to get back when he first fought Ruiz.

    He should fight Andre Ward. Ward has been calling him out consistently now, and it’s a chance to fight in America again gain some more of the American market.
