    Wardley is right there for the taking. A free world title, if joshua can just get that he's back in the picture for big money fights and the undisputed crown

    joshua got unlucky against Dubois, that wasn't the real aj. He didn't fight like himself.
    This new and improved joshua is more experienced, durable, bigger, stronger, more disciplined, he looked amazing against Jake Paul. Wardley is less skilled, has no amateur background and a thin resume, so surely this is a walk in the park for aj. He's beaten better fighters than Fabio for sure like Klitschko, Povetkin, Pulev, etc.

    Dubois or Joshua will be Wardley's next opponent, the Dubois fight would be great while Joshua has almost no chance...

    The Dubois fight would be excellent for Wardleys resume. Dubois is proven to be better than aj, joshua is a bigger name tho

    I couldn't agree more, Joshua has a bigger fan base...

    Joshua most certainly has a punchers chance. Even now Joshua clearly still punches significantly harder than Parker and Huni, and we saw how easy it was for both of them to land on Wardley.

    Wardley vs Joshua is a classic young gun vs old dog fight.

    I'm not diminishing Joshua's power, but I know Joshua wouldn't be too confident in that fight.

    They would be picking up shards of AJ's mandible for weeks.

    Wardley is undefeated, young, handsome, well spoken, marketable and a proper KO artist. He's also a partial owner of the boxing heavyweight championship.

    Give the guy an opportunity to become the top of the heap.

    If this "amazing" and "new and improved " AJ was showcased in the Jake Paul fight then he has zero chance. He looked awful.

    Wardley is 31 already. He's in his prime, but not "young" for long.
    He'd smash AJ badly.

    Justis Huni would probably beat AJ, even after his devastating KO defeat to Wardley.
    Dubois was outclassed and destroyed by OLD Usyk last time out, but would still murder AJ.

    AJ will fight Justin Bieber or Roger Federer or someone like that next fight.

    Wardley is a pretty risky fight for AJ, especially if we want to have any chance of seeing AJ V Fury.

    I'd like to see AJ fight Wardley if he beats Fury though.

    Huni would outbox AJ until AJ eventually found that chin. Which he would.
