Seems like this is gonna be the next fight, probably happens in the first half of 2024, after the Fury vs Usyk fight of course. How do you see this one playing out?
Detailed here: https://talksport.com/sport/1690073...s-filip-hrgovic-deontay-wilder-joseph-parker/ I'd like to see this fight. If Joshua fights him smart, I can see him prevailing. If Hrgovic wins, I wouldn't mind seeing Hrgovic-Zhang 2. BTW, the folks at The Ring apparently haven't gotten around to updating their heavyweight rankings.... https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/?weightclass=272
This fight HAS to happen next. AJ and his cheerleaders kept repeating he would rather fight for a world title than fight Wilder for the money. Now Wilder has lost it would make him look like a complete coward and fraud if he pursues Wilder rather than fight the man he was calling out pre Wilder-Parker.
And when AJ destroys and stops him, he will somehow always been a bum, right? AJ going to build absolutely insane resume before he hang them. I'm pretty certain he will go on an unbeaten run in the next 2 years, before start going down.
I think both Fury & Usyk will retire after their bout. They won't rematch and even if they do rematch that will force Eddie & AJ to do the next best thing which is go after that IBF belt. AJ will fight and probably lose to Hurgovic and that will be a wrap for this era of HW boxing. I don't think we've seen the best of Hurgovic whilst we've pretty much seen what AJ has to offer. From what we've seen down the stretch AJ should win that fight but I think Hurgovic will pull the upset. Hurgovic's workrate has to be better or AJ will simply outwork him "Brilliant AJ!"
