Who do you think Anthony Joshua should fight next in a tune-up?

There is always an option to not tolerating something. Don't give it your money.

Sure, others might pay to see it, but individual tolerance in a primarily PPV sport is where you can show displeasure.

 

It’s all been one way traffic so far with the MMA fighters taking on the Boxers under Boxing rules,make the rules so that when a Boxer fights an MMA fighter he then has to rematch that same fighter under that fighters discipline,see how many cross over fights get made then !

 

Yeah you don't see UFC champs fighting YouTubers on official events

 

Yeah that’s a fair point like, I didn’t think of it that way. I stand corrected

 

Deontay Wilder in summer, then Tyson Fury in November or December.

 

It does sometimes come across that way.
I'm not a Joshua fan and would be far more of a Fury fan than Joshua fan, but by trying to be balanced, people completely go on the defensive

 

I think it's fairly even between them overall.
The J Paul fight was a complete nothing fight for Joshua.
The Ngannou fight only really happened because of how competitive the Fury/Ngannou fight was.
I doubt it would have happened if Fury had have beaten Francis in the same manner.

The reason I say fairly even is Joshua like Usyk has been willing to face a young power puncher like Dubois inbetween

I don't have a problem with a tune up.
Joshua hasn't been in the ring in a pro fight with a HW for around a year and a half.
Fury has had his tune up, so seems fair enough to me.

I don't recall as many complaints when Fury had a couple of tune ups before Wilder 1, a couple of tune ups before Wilder 2, a delay before Wilder 3, a couple of tune ups before Usyk 1

Don't know why people are bothered about either having a tune up first really

 

There is no chance Joshua fights Wilder next. NONE.

Other fighters have done it but none of the recent Heavyweight trio being Fury Joshua Usyk was what I was getting at .

Hoping it's still Wilder, but my god do the other 3 options look depressing.

You have the usual guff of course with this moderately interesting excerpt at the end:

Fury had warned Joshua not to waste time and have a warm-up fight despite being involved in his own tune-up bout with Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Hearn revealed it was advice by undisputed world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk which finalised plans for Joshua to have one contest before November.
"I am sure they won't mind me saying it, a lot of this has come from Oleksandr Usyk. He was part of these conversations and the conversations were absolutely he is having a comeback fight," Hearn said.
