    I think he should try and avenge his loss to DDD. The last scrap was fun

    Whyte failed a drug test so AJ havd to fight Robert Helenius on about 2 weeks notice.

    Someone well connected in boxing. Today Ade said he would like to see that fight - his pal Gman said the same. Whyte's chin is made of glass these days. Joshua makes his biggest payday with Fury and Eddie doesn't want any slip ups. Next few weeks will be interesting.

    I'm not sure how much Joshua has left and that's coming from a fan of his. I think anyone he fights is a live underdog. I seriously just don't understand why they didnt make Joshua and Fury. I also think Fury will beat makhmudov, but I dont write him off completely.
    Whyte is shot to pieces these days but he will definitely be up for fighting Joshua and he will turn up to win. Will be interesting like you say. Cheers for the reply.

    Yes aware of that, however it is only 12 months to serve a silent ban- fight should have been made ages ago.

    It was cash on the table, and some of that cash went up in smoke due to the delays.

    I am not sure how easy it will be to sell after Whyte shat himself and could not even last for 2 minutes against Itauma. It is a difficult sell after that.

    Surely it’ll be Whyte. It’s a name people know and an easy KO for AJ at this stage.

    Joshua’s opposition since 1 Jan 2023:
    • Franklin
    • Helenius
    • Wallin
    • Ngannou
    • Dubois
    • Paul
    • Pringle
    A truly legendary run.

    Best resume in the division was the narrative Matchroom FC used to push on people.

    The run was not much better before both Usyk fights either.

    All of them had an asterisk against them though. Pulev, Takam, Wlad and Povtekin all old and well past there best. Fat Andy was... fat. Parker you could argue was in his prime; although I think his prime was much later (Joshua beats any version).

    You can put asterisks around anybody.

    There is no question that lot was better regardless of what asterisks you put there.

    That's probably netted him £30-40m though. You got to respect that
