AJ, Fury, Wilder, or a lower tier contender? AJ apparently has the rematch clause, and claims he's going to execute it. But Wlad was saying the same thing after he lost to AJ. Personally, I think there will be too much pressure on AJ to take the rematch, and that is what we will see next. But if not, I'm sure Wilder or Fury would love to take that matchup. I don't think he will fight a Kownacki etc. Haymon should rather see Wilder (or Ruiz, in event of another upset) with all the straps.
I read somewhere that the wbo mandatory fight will be in September and Dillian whyte will be no1 contender.
Pressure will be on AJ to get the rematch. No one is really 6'1 and available so it wouldn't make sense for him to wait. He will have a much better gage on Ruiz so fighting him sooner then later makes complete sense,and if he doesn't its a MAJOR mistake .
AJ will take the rematch 100%, whether he can turn it around or not who knows. Maybe he isn’t hungry enough anymore , we’ll see.
I think AJ will absolutely take the rematch. He genuinely seems like a competitive dude, who wants to fight the best. So I can't imagine him not wanting a shot at redemption. I will be very interested to see the rematch. I see it happening sooner than later.
Joshua. Wlad was 40+ and really shouldn’t have been fighting anyway. Joshua is still under 30 years old, so I’m pretty sure he’s going to enforce his rematch clause.
Wilder, it’s the easiest way to unify the belts. PBC are fools to let this chance slip up. Based on some of the dubious decisions last night, Ruiz should not fight AJ in the UK.
It has to be Joshua, there is a rematch clause so if he didn`t want to lose the belt he have to fight AJ. And let`s be dead honest here, AJ will get his title back. He will probably TKO or KO him inside 7 round. I think AJ and his staff obviously overestimate him and probably have really bad night, but i don`t see it happen again. AJ is a young guy and should be hungry for revenge.
