    Lol..... For everyone saying AJ wasn't gonna fight the washed up burrito Boy...

    I knew he didn't have the minerals to take on someone like Wallin. Not enough of a soft touch.

    Arreola a perfect opponent for AJ to build confidence with a 7 round KO

    Come on, at least take an active fighter!
    Why not feather fisted, unbeaten George Arias or Browne? They are both TOP50

    Not a bad fight, but certainly not a great fight either. If Arreola can come in the shape he was against Ruiz (Oval, not Round) i think he can make it an interesting fight. Warrr Arreola.

    This is a typical AJ fight - what's the surprise? His whole resume is full of 40 year olds from the Klitschko era.

    Do we actually have any official proof of this or is it just an unsubstantiated rumour like before?

    Was happy to go 24 rounds with Usyk but scared of Wallin?

    Probably, but Browne is active and better ranked.

    BTW Guys:
    Official Boxing News (2022/17/10):

    "Nothing has been confirmed yet, and Joshua has not spoken publicly about who his next opponent will be, but Arreola seems to be in the frame."

    AJ fighting Arreola is better than Fury fighting Chisora, because AJ hasn't already decisively beaten him twice.

    But that being said, Arreola would be a disappointing opponent for AJ, when there are better options like Zhang and Wallin.

    Hoping AJ wins this one as a stepping stone to a megafight with Alex Leapai in June next year.

    A well trained Arreola beats mentally destroyed Joshua.

    Also because Arreola isn't getting a totally undeserved title shot.
