    It will more than likely be a knockover job too restore some confidence.
    If AJ did suffer a concussion after the Usyk fight, that would be the second time after a loss and his team should be questioning if it's worth it at all too carry on.

    Thanks for the links. I clicked on a couple and damned if Kevin Johnson isn’t still fighting (and losing decisions). Saw him with relatively recent fights on a couple of those records so I clicked him and he’s fought twice this year.

    As for AJ opponents, I say first up with be either David Price or Christian Hammer.

    Wallin - Joshua needs to bounce back against a common opponent. Wallin is taylormade and would get bounced off the canvas.

    Sign it up snake oil Eddie.

    Unlike those above, I think he needs to get back in the ring ASAP. There are many moving parts to the division at the moment, if he gets his name back in the mix sooner rather than later, it means Wilder has less time to lose his pen again.

    Daniel Dubois would most certainly agree to a fight with Joshua...

    If he really fights that soon again (don't believe that), it wouldn't be a guy that can put him on his arse.

    Wallin or Hughie would be safe and guys he can overrun.

    This - AJ vs Wilder will shut up almost half this forum, regardless of who wins.

    One thing I've learnt about Hearn in the past 36 hours, as soon as he starts with "Dillian Whyte at the O2, Charles Martin at the O2" you can comfortably skip the next 30 seconds.

    No Bakole. He will beat AJ right now.

    Hearn wants Whyte, so maybe that will be his best choice

    Zhang won't be ready in December, he needs to recover.
    Kossobutskiy is too risky, so I don't think they will go for him.
    Bakole, Balogun and Whyte are possible and would accept.

    I personally would like to see him against Yoka, Ajagba or Baby-Miller. All winable fights but I don't know if they can be maden lol.

    It's not going to be Wallin that's for sure. AJ probably has nightmares about southpaws that can move now. I see him fighting next May or something, probably the likes of Whyte. Fighting the Joyce-Parker winner would be good.

    First easy fight at the O2 to get him back on track. Same for Dillian Whyte. And then a massive Joshua vs Whyte at the Wembley next summer.

    Jejeje, come on, you are a decent poster. Bakole doesn't stand a change against AJ.


    People should stop burring and underrating fighters, just because they lost.
