So Joshua has a fight booked at Wembley stadium in April. Does he fight either Fury or Wilder, or will he have to wait until after Fury and Wilder have their rematch? Wilder still has the other belt, but after that shambles of a decision, Fury is the people's champion (Fury should now start to end all his interviews and press conferences with the people's eye brow). Either fight would be huge, but can it happen before the rematch?
David Price would be my guess. There would be no other reason for Pricey to keep fighting unless he knew one win could get him a title shot. I'm sure he has been lined up for a while but he just can't get that win. Surely he has scaled back enough now that he can beat Little...and he's then considered AJs most dangerous opponent to date.
He's fighting Balrog infront of 90,000 at Wembley

Why not Ortiz?
Ortiz doesn't offer anything.
Doesn't have a belt, not a mandatory and can't sell a fight for *****.
Epitome of a high risk no reward fight for AJ at this moment in time.
AJ would pick Wilder as he would fancy decapitating him...look how many times Fury stunned Wilder, imagine if they were Joshua's punches.
Fury is another thing.
I'd rather he get his IBF mandatory out of the way and fight Pulev. I don't want to see the Whyte rematch.
Same.
Wilder Fury rematch for Cinco De Maio weekend in Vegas?
Honestly, I’m not sure if he should fight either.
It’s hard to promote Joshua-Wilder as the Undisputed Championship, now that Wilder has a highly disputed draw against Fury.
But Fury doesn’t have the WBC belt, so you wouldn’t be able to promote that fight as an Undisputed fight either.
Wilder and Fury will need to have a rematch, and hopefully, that fight will have a more clear outcome.
In the meantime, I think Joshua-Ortiz would be the best option since Ortiz hurt Wilder badly and has scored 2 KO wins after the loss.
This is my thinking also.
