    What are the fights you would like to see leading up to this fight? Personally I'd like to see him fight a Pulev/Chisora first, then Whyte/Miller, and then a Joshua fight. A rematch against Joyce would be fun to watch too. Time is definitely on Joshua's side. Usyk shouldn't wait too long to fight AJ.

    Oh and if he wants to fight AJ right away, obviously that's fine, but I'm assuming he wants to test the waters.

    Whyte wants it. Make the fight and if Usyk wins he faces Joshua. Simples.

    If Fury pulls it off against Wilder, there's no way Usyk beats him. That's a stylistic nightmare. I don't see Usyk's team putting him in there before he fights AJ who is the cash cow!

    Rematch clause with Deonkey tho? And we know how Fury responds to a rematch clause.

    If Usyk wants to do that, I'm cool with it, but I wouldn't be mad if he fought a Pulev, Chisora type first to test the waters before getting in there with Whyte.

    To be honest I really wanna see this fight soon so I hope it doesn't take 4-5 fights. I'd be fine if he just jumped straight to it but if not, maybe Whyte then Povetkin?

    Whyte > Povetkin. Pedvetkin > Whyte. Probably should fight Povektin before Whyte, if he wants to test the waters.

    Would LOVE to see a Wilder fight too but don't think that's happening.

    How about Dillian Whyte? But seeing as Bid D is a massive PPV superstar now he gets a rematch clause, infact give him 5. Then he can fight Joshua. Thats right ladies we are protecting him. Ooooooooooo.

    I doubt Usyk fights Wilder before AJ. AJ is the ticket and Wilder would tear that ticket in half by putting Usyk to sleep!

    I think Povetkin > Whyte so I think if he wants to move in order of difficulty I'd go with Whyte > Povetkin > AJ.

    Should be piece of cake fights to make too, I mean Whyte is with Hearn right? And Povetkin has worked with Hearn recently too. So I think that's the best road for him.
