    Why is anybody surprised at the mention of these two opponents for Joshua, even if Joshua wanted a stiffer test both Hearn and dazn would always want the path of least resistance to another title shot. Whyte and Anderson at this point would not even win a British title .

    Whyte is completely shot and Anderson is just rubbish. Eddy will need all his snake oil salesman tactics to sell these fights.

    Make it a regular Friday or Saturday night fight on one of my subscriptions, I'll more than likely watch. Beyond that, if they try to make a PPV of this they'll totally miss me. None of these guys justify it. Not even close.

    AJ’s confidence must be destroyed if these are the opponents Hearn is willing to let him fight :lol:
    AJ is a Mentally Weak Glass Jawed fighter.

    Diabolical that they are suggesting Whyte, who is so shot now that a gust of wind underneath his chin would knock him out. When he throws punches now it looks like they are being thrown under water.

    Anderson was already weighed in on by Bakole, who himself has proven to not be at the elite level.

    Surely, Turki needs to demand that Femi fights at a higher level than Anderson or Whyte! He calls the shots now in the HW division and does not have to put up with Femi getting a soft touch.

    I would like to see Femi stuck in with Kabayel. Put him in deep waters and see if he deserves another pay day.

    Turki needs to tell Hair Plug to stick these potential opponents where the sun does not shine.

    Neither Anderson or Whyte are even top 20. Embarrassing.
