    With Zhang vs Wilder, Hrgovic vs Dubois...both looking likely, and little appeal in a fight between Parker and Joshua. Where does AJ go next?

    A fight between Joshua and the winner of Hrgovic and Dubois seems very likely but I expect he will want to be active in the meantime.

    Whyte seems like too much of a step back although I wouldn't put it past Hearn. I'd say a top 10 such as Bakole or Kabayel would be good wins to build momentum at this point.

    Joyce would 100% not make it to end of the first round

    His options are limited now. Sanchez and Kayabel have been mandated to fight by the WBC but I guess if they offer enough money they can secure Kabayel as an opponent. But then again would they risk it, Joshua struggles with movement and Kabayel maybe the best mover in the division bar Usyk and Fury.

    Anderson is occupied with trying to avoid a prison sentence for repeated driving offences, so he maybe off the table and he just isn't ready yet for this kind of step up.

    So we are left with Parker, Joyce and Bakole as possible opponents. I wouldn't mind any of these opponents, all would be a step up from the guys Joshua has been facing recently.

    Very possible. A fight that AJ can make another current statement in re Furys previous opponents.

    Plus he'll have the personal benefit of bettering his first bout with Whyte.

    AJ to win in less than 6 rnds.

    Tony Yoka is still hungry for a fight and Joshua would put him to sleep in no time...

    If he blasts whyte out In 30 seconds it will do nothing regarding Furys win

    Fury played with whyte and stopped him

    Aj needs to fight a live opponent and stop cherry picking.

    Hopefully Parker. I don't want to see AJ against Joyce, really, think that would mean Joyce's second brutal KO loss within a year.

    Anderson would be good as well. Hrgovic is my preferred option though, but it doesn't seem to be on the cards at the moment for some reason.
