Now that Whyte failed a drugs test and the fight is off, who next for AJ? big baby will be good or just get the wilder fight done
Only way this event takes place is if one of the other heavyweights on the card agrees to step up and fight Joshua. We have Hrgovic, McKean, Chisora and Washington on the undercard. Best case scenario Hrgovic steps up and gets a big fat pay day, which I think will be their first choice, but if Hrgovic declines we might end up with Joshua/Chisora which would be horrible but you know Chisora would take it as long as he's making at least a couple of million or more.
Better question would be, would whoever they choose be able to repeat Andy Ruiz's feat and come in on short notice and KO Joshua, lol. I suspect Joshua won't repeat the same mistake as before and simply not fight.
Who will AJ fight next - I can't predict the name, but the level of the fighter and it will be some average 2nd-grade one. This is good, because 2023 will pass with AJ fighting bags, getting old and fading in popularity, getting older - by far not old anyway, but still - wasting his time.
