    AJ in England. See if he can actually beat a prime world champion who is above C level for the first time in his life

    The 3 world champions he's fought in 46 fights

    Stiverne who is one of the weakest HW champions of all time, was 36 y/o, ill, whose best win is Arreola, 2nd best a way past it 40 y/o slug slow Ray Austin who was boxing his ears off prior to gassing and getting clipped. Not to mention, Stiverne was tailor-made for The Dosser with those lead feet, short reach and head which is a magnet for right hands and he has lost to almost every single big man he's fought sans Austin

    Liakhovich - shot to bits, 2-4 in his last 6, 3 of those losses via KO or stoppage, both wins against nobodies

    Belly Fury - should be 0-3 against him in his own backyard despite fighting an inactive absolute shell of him in Baptism I and a terrible camp version in Baptism III

    Someone with a pulse?

    Joyce, Ruiz, Parker, Bakole, Hrgovic or Sanchez are all quality opponents.

    However it will more likely be that ex UFC champ, Demirezen, Kownacki or Ajagba

    Wilder has unfinished Fury business. Hughie was offered the fight on short notice a long time ago, early 20s, and didn't take it. Now it's time for them to settle this once and for all.

    These are the fights that should happen within the next 2 years, before they all start retiring. I'm guessing 2 of these at most will actually happen. (If this were the UFC we'd probably get at least 6 of these fights, but unfortunately each fighter would only make about $1 mil per fight)

    Wilder vs AJ
    Wilder vs Usyk
    Wilder vs Joyce
    Fury vs AJ

    It's a bit of a dark horse option, but I think Zhang Zhilei would be a neat opponent for him. It's one of those fights that would come down to who lands that big shot first, and I think it'd be fun while it lasts.

    And of course I wanna see him and AJ in the ring, but at this point I'm not sure it happens. Maybe as a cash out fight?

    Lots of good options for him, there's 3 tiers imo, the elites, the contenders, and the prospects.

    AJ, Usyk, Joyce

    Ruiz, Bakole, Hrgovic, Zhang, Mak, Whyte,

    Anderson, Sanchez, Ajagba, Dubois
