    All your money on it, check the odds on sky, it's Haye if it isn't Klitschko. Hearn and Joshua dont have much choice if Klitschko backs out.

    They have plenty of choices, just not all good ones.

    Exactly, they have backed themselves into a corner being so vocal about Klitschko, people will now expect a big fight. The only marketable fights available are Haye, Whyte 2 and maybe Gsora.

    Ok let's make a bet.

    Hearn won't let Haye near Joshua unless it's at Wembley

    Exactly. No way they do that fight now when they can stage the huge summer stadium fight.

    Joshua can fight anyone in December as his name is draw. He will still fill the arena and do the healthy ppv number.

    Vlad doesn't want the fight and is looking for a way out.

    No - it will be Joshua v Price.

    Price was already booked to fight on that card. Book it.

    How do we know if Haye is dangerous at heavyweight?
    He beat an average fighter in Valuev . The only top opponent he fought (Wlad) he lost to. The rest of his heavyweight fights have been **** .

    Technically it would be Plan E.

    Plan A was Stiverne but he then got mandated to fight Povetkin of the WBC interim title.

    Plan B was Pulev but he wanted too much money as was willing to wait until he earned a mandatory shot.

    Plan C was Parker but then Wlad became available.

    Plan D is Wlad.

    Lets hope they don't have to resort to Plan E whoever that maybe.

    I'm glad someone remembered Joseph Parker.

    Parker is Joshua's mandatory after all and Joshua is meant to fight Parker by January 9th.

    If it isn't to be Klitschko, surely it is Parker.

    I'm pretty sure Parker won't fight. More likely to go down the WBO route and make some super fights with that belt later...

    Just as Joshua vs Wlad hinges on the WBA title being available, Parker vs Ruiz hinges on the WBO title being available.

    So both fights are equally rubbery at present.
