    My guess is Joshua rematch, a mando, maybe Helenius for the WBA, Fury, and another mando--Parker or Joyce for the WBO. After that, some sort of swan song, and then retirement.

    I wouldn't be surprised that if he gets by Joshua, then fights Fury, he might call it a day, win or lose.

    Someone said that this was his plan, but even if true, he has some mangos that he is going to have to address before he gets to Fury.

    I have a feeling he will hang around for some time, hopefully not too far past his prime. He looks as if he has a lot more to give.

    I can see AJ stepping back for the fury fight, then a fury rematch. Then AJ can get the rematch for the undisputed lineal titles. I can see a mandatory after those. Then maybe one more to ride out to the sunset as a 2 division undisputed lineal champ and top 10 AT.

    I think everything defends on WBC situation.

    If Fury starts his usual BS, than It may take at least 1.5 years for undisputed fight.

    I would prefer if Usyk fought for undisputed in the next 5 months, than fight AJ again, than Helenius/Hrgovic/Joyce/Whyte, and retire.

    Oh ok. I wouldve guessed closer to 36 in my head for some reason. Well then he will probably hit 5 more fights.

    1) Joshua: to finish him
    2) Fury: to humiliate the King
    3) Fury II: to enter the Mount Olympus
    4) Wilder: to prove he has the best chin ever
    5) Joyce or Hrgovic in a "Back to the future fight".
    6) Makmudov for the Ukrainian pride

    Then he can retires as one of the three best HWs ever imo and enjoy his 70 or 80 millions of dollars earned in career, maybe more.

    I think he might try and get 8 fights in and retire at 39

    Here's hoping....

    At age 34, not many, plus he said (or at least insinuated) his ultimate goal is undisputed then retirement, similar to Fury

    My guess is 4
    1) Joshua rematch
    2) Mandatory or voluntary defence
    3) Undisputed
    4) Undisputed rematch
