After the Miller fight I'd really we want the the unification bout but Wilders team have no interest as of yet. If you can't make the unifcation fight it shoud go to most deserving challenger ehich is Whyte who gas no intereet in fighting AJ. The most deserving challenger after Whyte is Pulev whom I think is the most relistic challenger (despite Arum recent comments confirming their ducking AJ) unless Usyk gets mandated by the WBO before Pulev does with the IBF. No one else stands out as a deserving challenger outside of Whyte, Miller, Pulev and Usyk.
Miller, Pulev then Willder is my prediction after that? Joe Joyce. Maybe hugie fury. Throw in a usyk and gassiev type. By then the market could and most likely will be totally different
In light of everything that has happened recently I really think there’s a chance Joshua could do a crossover fight and box a UFC fighter. I’ll boldly predict that we will see Joshua v Miocic or Jones or something like that in a boxing rules match within two years. Also a potential rematch with Klitschko.
Assuming that Wilder, Fury and Whyte keep rejecting offers. I think Pulev, Usyk, Joyce would be a logical set of fights to come. Pulev is IBF Mandatory, so I would expect them to call for the mandatory fight shortly after Joshua and Miller fight in June. Unless Matchroom arrange Joshua's next fight before June, then I don't think they will get an exemption to fight anyone else. If Arum pulls Pulev out of the fight, then the IBF will just give the fight to the next guy in the IBF rankings. Usyk is set to make his heavyweight debut in May. After another fight later in the year, he will probably be up for the AJ fight in the first half of 2020. Joyce is due to fight Manuel Charr for the WBA Regular. If Joyce wins (something I expect), then he will surely end up getting a shot at AJ at some point. In late 2020, Joyce will be 35, so there's no way he turns down a shot against AJ unless he gets offered stupid money not to.
