    I think - April/may 2022 - Fury vs Usyk

    Around the same time -

    Joshua vs Whyte 2

    Winner faces Usyk/Fury winner?

    Or -

    Joshua vs Joyce

    Whyte vs Ruiz

    I think it's absolutely plausible Whtye steps aside.

    He recently pulled out of a fight with Wallin and has been trying to price himself out the Fury fight. Didn't want the AJ fight either.

    Joshua would be mad to face Joyce. Would be within his rights to take an easy keep busy fight while waiting for Fury V Usyk.

    From a fan perspective (meaning it would NEVER happen)

    Joshua vs Wilder
    Whyte vs Andy Ruiz

    What makes you so sure?

    Bloke doesn't seem to want to fight for the title.

    5 million to do **** all seems like it would suit him.

    I'd like to see Wilder and Ruiz in the mix. Joshua vs Wilder and Ruiz vs Whyte.

    Joshua -Wilder would be a good one
    Whyte - Ruiz as well would be good

    Neither would happen as they are high risk fights. I suppose bith Joshua and Whyte will carry through on their original plans.

    Maybe they should fight all you idiots who actually think either of them is going to step aside. You guys need to stop this nonsense that Arum and Fury have you all fantasizing about. Fury has until tomorrow to grow a pair and face his mandatory or he is stripped. Yet he is still trying to get out of it and you idiots support his cowardice

    I think Joshua would outpoint Joyce personally. Joyce is so incredibly slow.

    He pulled out of the fight with Wallin because the dangling carrot of the world title fight with Fury was on the table.

    Hardly pricing himself out of the Fury fight. He's paid a ridiculous amount of sanctioning fees to the WBC and has headlined numerous PPV shows in his own right so wants a bigger share of the pie than the bare minimum % he was being offered which in fairness he's well within his right to challenge.
