    What are the options? A rematch with Parker or Whyte? Maybe a fight against Miller?

    Parker probably has too much left and Miller would eat him up. Ruiz trilogy would be too dangerous. Shot Whyte would be the best option.

    Miller would murder him. Even Whyte might be too dangerous for him, but it's the only one of the 3 that he has a good chance of winning. I know one thing though. If Whyte even this shot version had been in Pregnas shoes yesterday he would have closed the deal.

    Deontay Wilder maybe?

    It would be a decent payday for both fighters.

    Usyk wants Wilder late this year or early next.

    So it has been reported, I hope it happens, but does Wilder want Usyk?

    Pay gassiev a ton of money to get him ring and have a decent shot at winning a belt to market himself as a 3 time world champ before cashing out in unification against dubois/wardley/moses

    Nah, Whyte is there for the taking even against this poor version of AJ. You're right that they'll probably still see it as too risky though... Maybe Joyce?

    Parker is beyond out of his league now.

    Can't imagine him sticking around if there's no fury fight happening
