    Both Joshua and Hearn have been saying he will next fight in December 2022.

    Who would you like to see him fight?

    It won't be Dubois or Joyce because of promotional differences. Wilder would not return so soon after his fight in October. The winner of Ruiz-Ortiz would likely want more time.

    I think Dillian Whyte would want it, but might demand too much money. Bakole would be a very good opponent. Miller would be okay, I think Joshua would knock him out.

    I love to see Makhmudov vs Joshua, Mak would take it, but Joshua might find it too risky. Someone like Kabayel, who desperately needs a fight, would likely be willing and not too dangerous.

    The bodybuilder should get fed to Makhmudov and get his chin shattered one final time before he retires for good

    Legit could get chinned by Whyte, Chisora or Bakole.

    I unironically think that Joshua vs Miller in the US would be a solid comeback fight. Settle unfinished business, and prove that he can win a fight in an opponent's backyard. But after being TKO7'd in NYC in 2019, I can't see Joshua ever travelling to an opponent's backyard again, he would **** himself during the ring walk just like he did against Fatty Ruiz.

    Zhang, Big Makh and Bakole would also be worthy opponents.

    Who's the last guys he KO'd? Two shot to pieces Pulev/Povetkin? and a British stoppage against Takam?

    hehe

    Meanwhile got slapped by a middleweight and a little fatman on 3 weeks notice.

    AJ is one fight away from getting chinned again by an underdog.

    Bakole wouldn't be easy for AJ at all.

    chisora is a punchbag one AJ is very capable of getting punches off against, whyte likes uppercuts and going to bed and bakole isnt on that level, sloppy defence sucker for the right down the middle.

    Miller. Him and AJ have some unfinished business. It would be a great confidence building fight for him.
