It wasn't serious. @Serge is a disturbed individual who is known to try to include humour in his posts, doubtless forming some form of desperate cry for help or outside medical intervention. It's impossible to say for certain, but it's possible that this was one of those times.
Joshua’s possible size increase is what I was thinking. I guess he’s still got time to adjust. One thing is for sure, another delay cannot surely happen. That would be a disaster, given the April fiasco.
That's where I think there's an interesting dialog perhaps ongoing. DAZN need a high profile opponent, Team AJ may want someone closer in style to what they've been prepping for.
Out of those four, Ortiz, definitely. And it would be a much bigger fight than AJ vs. Miller, in fact.
My choice would be Ortiz. Wouldn't be fair for either fighter on 6 weeks notice though. July 13th was being touted for a Matchroom (Wembley ?) show wasn't it ? If I'm right they should move heaven and earth for a Joshua v Whyte show. Sack this stupid fighting in America idea right off as theres only the Wilder fight that makes any sort of sense over there.
Ortiz is the best and biggest fight out there. Kownacki might garner a few views if they can get the Polish contingent on board, but it's not much of a fight. Rivas might be an option, but he's not a super well known guy. Regardless, I'd be happy with any of those three, considering the circumstances.
