If AJ gets stopped what next?

AJ needs a big KO win

 

Well, he'd fall to 25-4.

Joshua doesn't have a rematch clause, so that's out. (Whyte insisted there not be one.)

Joshua loses out on the huge payday in Saudi against Wilder. (Whyte said he'd pursue it if he won.)

Joshua falls out of the top five in all four sanctioning orgs' ratings. Usyk, Whyte and Ruiz would all be ranked above him and all have wins over him.

The potential Fury fight likely goes away because of how easily Fury dispatched Whyte.

I guess we'd find out how much Anthony Joshua really likes boxing. Because he'd be looking at a long road back.

Guess he'd better win.

 

Whyte insisted there be no rematch clause. Joshua accepted. So this is the first time Joshua is fighting without that "safety net."

 

Even if he loses, there is no need to retire, he can box for another year and make good money.

 

AJs stock is already pretty low and I think its accepted that his best days are well behind him. It'd obviously **** up a potential AJ/Wilder fight (which is already like 5+ years late anyway and nowhere near as exciting as it once was) but other than that who really cares. We already know AJ is not as good as Usyk and that Whyte is kind of a bum, so the outcome doesnt mean much.

 

Joshua still has fights left to run on his Dazn deal after Whyte and they will want a return on there investment.

 

Joshua v Wilder still a great fight to make,only the Undisputed fight tops it in this current division imo. However if Joshua loses to Whyte it would certainly lose a lot of its appeal .

 

Time to retire. He's already made big money.

 

If he gets stopped... Fury will then try to fight him.

 

If he gets stopped he then has to admit he is way past his prime and is now a top, but B-level fighter. But better retire and pursue something else (I don't see what, as he hasn't shown any talents).

 

He won't. Whyte is more washed up than Chisora these days.

 

Whyte has declined far more than Joshua (who really hasn't declined much, just showed his actual level). Joshua stops Whyte even sooner.

This fight should not be happening.

 

Maybe he can fight whatever is left of Ngannou when they scrape him off the canvas after the Fury fight.

 

Joshua is going to crush glass jaw Whyte. Him losing isn’t even a real possibility.

 

The probability of aj taking an L is at least 50% per fight, no matter the opponent. That's just the way things are. Fact
