    A fight with either would be the biggest HW fight happening in the world at the time (most likely).

    This situation is a gift horse IMO. Maybe Fa wants to leverage his rankings into a voluntary title shot, but no-one with a belt has
    time for voluntaries now after this extended break. They're all booked up for some time.

    Guess team fa realise this too hence they won't settle for chump change?

    Not sure the WBC route is best given how high Joe is with wbo and the possy AJ drops that to fight Fury. Only usyk who holds a right to challenge having unified cruiserweight division is higher.

    So he could fight for the only belt not held by winner of AJ v Fury, which would be a good position to be in.

    Yes - Usyk v Parker is highly likely for the WBO belt if AJ is stripped....

    Whyte's uncontrolled dirty tactics did not help at all. That being said, he needed to take a lot more risks when he fought AJ. He was never getting a decision so he needed to go for KO. Maybe he doesn't quite have what it takes but I'd prefer to know for sure than die wondering.

    Would be an excellent opponent for Usyk Ruiz or Wilder
