    I'd like to see him fight Joyce.
    It won't happen because Joyce is set to face Usyk, but I'd like to see Whyte-Joyce to establish who the UK's #3 fighter is. For the British title too, preferably.

    Since I immensely enjoyed seeing him brutally knocked out cold by Povetkin. I'd like to see that topped, this time with a straight right. So.... bring on The Bronze Bomber.:devil:

    If Joshua wins the big fight then Joshua, if fury wins then he will have to find someone else to fight.

    I'd like to see him fight Ruiz, just to shut up all the Ruiz fanboys predicting a brutal knockout win for the doughboy.

    Outside of that I'd like to see him fight Wilder. Could go either way that one, depending on switches off first. Guaranteed KO.

    Wilder. Ticks a lot of boxes.

    It has the narrative from a few years ago when Whyte was claiming Wilder was ducking him, whoever wins gets another title shot and can legitimately claim to be the No. 3 in the division and it's a very exciting fight.

    I think Wilder would spark Whyte but Whyte is more than capable of getting Wilder on the back foot and bullying him.

    Doesn't last more than 6 rounds max. Get it done!

    Wilder fight makes perfect sense for both men. Wont happen though, obviously.

    Hearn has mentioned Arreola.

    Hearn also said it won't be an "easy" fight but said Whyte has hard a hard run of fights... apparently Whyte will have the opportunity to fight in the US is July.


    So it will be a OK'ish opponent, so don't expect anything that good and if Hearn is mentioning another 40 year old already then it isn't going to be anything worth talking about.
