Since Pulev pulled out with a injury. Takam is mandatory now. You're the only person on here that does not know this.
I was going to reply to both of these comments but given you seem to have no knowledge at all about how boxing works it would be better of if you maybe tried another forum about gardening or something you know a little about.
According to Hearn, Takam is the highest ranked available mandatory. It's rare (and nice) I say this but I honestly don't think Joshua is going to avoid anyone. Line them up and he will knock them down.
Road warriors like Takam deserve respect. Glad he gets it on here apart from the Wilder fangirls and cynical debbie downers.
What has Beterbiev done to justify the boogeyman tag? Same could go for GGG back in 2010-12, when he hadn't beaten a legit contender yet.
Ortiz blew the Wilder shot and I was wondering did he also blow the Joshua shot because he has been his mandatory for quite a while now. I don't think that Joshua wanted that action because he bypassed him for Paluev.
Ortiz has been banned for 6 months, how the hell is AJ meant to fight him? I'll also point out nobody outside of hardcore fans know Ortiz, and most of those don't really rate him. The fight is pointless.
2012 Golovkin and Beterbiev weren't/aren't 40 years old and on heart medication. Time is running out on Beterbiev though if he doesn't want to be the next Ortiz.
