Update: Joshua will fight in March, but not against Wilder

AJ ducking Mark De Mori. Sad.

 

Hope it is Hrgovic for the vacant IBF. Usyk will likely retire after Fury and I would like to see AJ back in the mix of things.

 

It will be Joshua vs Hrgovic

and Parker vs Zhang (or Ngannou if the Saudi's insist on it)

 

I'm happy with anyone but Ngannou.

 

Wilder as refused the parker rematch
Wants joshua asap

Lol
When Ruiz beat josh
Wilder said the fights off he needs to rematch Ruiz and beat him
Get them belts back


Protected american privileged hype job
He needs to fight
Parker
Then either bakole or miller
Earn it wilder

 

A lot of people forgetting that Joshua/Hearn originally had the Ngannou fight but walked away allowing Fury to step in and take the fight. Joshua’s next fight will be dictated by Hearns lobbying of the IBF to strip the Undisputed winner if they agree to a rematch,if the Undisputed winner is stripped of the IBF belt then Joshua 1million% fights Hrgovic next. Yes this is the same Hearn who lobbied the IBF not to strip the IBF belt from Ruiz when he was to rematch Joshua stating that “ There are mandatories due but,in our opinion,Ruiz is within his rights to have a voluntary defence. That defence is against Anthony Joshua.” The absolute hypocrisy of the man !

 

Nothing will please me more, than watching Emperor Zang crush the bodybuilders puny head, and dipping into the sushi bowel!

 

Hearn confirming AJ will likely fight Hrgovic, Zhang or the MMA guy.

With Wilder signing a multi fight deal with Saudis I expect him to be fighting on the next card. Malik Scott stating Ruiz and Dubois are potential opponents.

Frank Warren saying he is working on a big fight for this card (this could potentially one or more of his stable of Dubois, Joyce, Zhang and Ruiz).

It's looking good for top HW fights.

 

All good choices.

I'd prefer Zhang due to the style clash, and the fact that he's the oldest of the three. After that probably Hrgovic.

I don't mind the Ngannou fight, but it's a bit of a circus show and makes Joshua look like he's chasing Fury's shadow after Wallin. But a good casual friendly fight, and you'll be sure to get a lot of the MMA crowd tuning in to see if Ngannou can turn the trick again.

 

Not interested in Ngannou but Zhang or Hrgovic I wouldn't mind seeing.

 

Fury vs Ngannou was the circus fight. AJ ain't a Champion anymore, and he could actually make that fight, and not look bad in the eyes of everyone.
He ain't milking the title, as Fury was doing fighting Chisora and Ngannou back to back. Not just that, but Ngannou was a 10 rounder fight that Fury clearly lost, landed 100% intentional and illegal elbow, there was uncalled second KD, and Ngannou was absolutely robbed. This just shows everything that was wrong with Boxing, and Fury completely embarrass the whole Boxing World with that performance. Most MMA fans were laughing at Boxing, and even more now, and they have the right to it.
I mean that fight literally shows that the supposed "top" boxer is just a fat overrated bum, that cant get in shape for a huge money fight.
Or he was never really good at it. And the corruption and paid judges/refs were there to save the day.

Good luck on getting new fans with that advertisement.

AJ needs to step up and do the wrongs of Fury, and clean the Boxing name by knocking Ngannou.
Also there will be a good laugh at Fury fans, once again overhyping another opponent, just like they were doing with Wilder and Wallin.

Seeing so many people on here and in the net claiming Ngannou can't be KO, and that he will KO AJ, or that he have some monstrous power, just makes me wanna puke.
The guy is so slow and so basics, he is going to get murdered by AJ.

I have zero faith in Wilder, and he may chase that fight, and Ngannou can very well pick him, and that bum dosser bum can very well expose Boxing even more.

Also the IBF situation won't be settled by March, so Hrgovic may very well not wanting this fight.

 

I would look forward to watching any of those.

I think the first two would be close hard fought decisions for AJ.

And I think he would destroy Francis, piling more shade on the Gypsy King's resume than even the day of reckoning did.

If Fury loses to Usyk and AJ demolishes Ngannou, it will paint both Fury and Wilder in a whole new light.
