Anthony Joshua's new opponent will be decided Today.

If it ain’t hrgovic then I’m done with this sport

 

Joshua has only been with Derreck James for one fight coming of back to back losses to Usyk and a in-ring meltdown.

Mike Tyson after the loss to Douglas
Fought three times in the following 12 months or so
Tillman > Stewart > Ruddock

Lennox Lewis after the loss to McCall
Rebuilt over the following 12 months against
Butler > Fortune > Morrison

Wlad Klitschko after the loss to Sanders and Brewster
Again across 12 months or so:
Williamson > Castillo > Peter

Tyson Fury after a draw with Wilder:
Schwarz > Wallin > Wilder

Joshua?
The "fans" demand:
Franklin > Hrgovic > Wilder

Bloody 'eck you lot are on something strong I tell ye

I can understand UK fans being a bit miffed if they try to keep it on PPV, but it's not PPV anywhere else.
Usyk gets a soft touch against Dubois
Fury isn't even fighting a boxer
Wilder is happy sitting around
Joshua? The fraud, the body builder? He has to fight Hrgovic, obviously

If he does fight Hrgovic, all credit due to the guy. It's a tough fight for anyone.

 

If he isn't going to fight Hrgovic then they should just cancel the event and try to move the Wilder fight up to October.

 

Chisora - Bad
McKean - worse
Washington- so terrible I don't even want to think about it.

To be honest I'll settle for Chizza. Would be interested to see how quickly Joshua can stop him. If at all.

No way they'll risk fighting Hrgovic.

 

So hes just gonna act like Ruiz isn't calling him out?

 

StubHub, they've sent emails to people saying the event is cancelled

 

Not ideal for him and Hrgovic to face each other at such short notice. Chisora is closest to Whyte style.

 

Tnx Dillian!

 

I think both AJ and Hrgovic would prefer a camp where they were able to prepare specifically for each other.

 

Washington at least gives him similar looks to Wilder with his dimensions. Joshua fighting too many relatively short fighters. Might do something for his confidence to KO a guy too.

Fighting Chisora or Whyte wasn’t going to do him anything anyway. Wilder and Fury are massive.

 

Anyone considering that Hrgovic doesn't want to fight AJ on a weeks notice having 'lost' his last fight and having prepared all this camp for a southpaw thus potentially losing his IBF mandatory position

 

So you cannot be upset that is not being considered on both sides. If the Whyte cancellation happened 4-5 weeks ago fine but now training is finished.
