    If AJ doesn't fight Fury next, I think Eddie will match him with Knyba. He probably owes the rights for Knyba's next fight also and probably will see Damian as pretty safe opponent for AJ since he is very basic (like Wallin, though he clearly hits harder than Otto). Also, Knyba's height and reach are close to Fury's, so it makes a sense to make AJ vs Knyba fight in order to prepare AJ for facing taller outfighter with a longer reach

    What a silly suggestion

    AJ is shot to bits and should only fight Fury now

    I agree he should fight Fury. But it looks like this fight won't happen in November

    Knyba might just be an Otto Wallin type but I wouldn't risk AJ in finding out

    Fighting Knyba isn't the next step

    No chance Hearn risks putting AJ in with Knyba, we all saw what Prenga did to him
