    If its not too late I'd like to see him take the Usyk fight and then If he overcomes that obstacle there should be no nonsense around having to drop belts if he can get the undisputed fight later in the year.

      I like that fight too, Usyk is a skilful fighter. Clearly fury for undisputed is preferred but that’s a credible fight. For me if he took on Wilder, Ortiz, Usyk or Whyte I would be ok with that. Not really sure it makes sense to fight anyone else; Hunter maybe only other option because it would allow another American fight which maybe relevant depending on crowd issues around the world

        He should fight Bryan or Charr in the WBA both lack luster fights but he should eliminate any possibility of mandatories .

          Wilder. But Joshua wouldn't take it because he'd get knocked out cold within 4 rounds.

            to be honest I almost want one of the big guns to take them out so we have to stop talking about them!

              Uysk

              Although I don't think it would be great preparation for Fury 'Stylistically'.

              But because Usyk is unbeaten, and he does have a long list of achievements 'That may intimidate some a opponents'.

              If Joshua is able to slay that type of dragon? The process of doing that will boast him greatly. As Joshua is still recovery from his Ruiz I loss etc

                He might as well get Usyk out the way, although Usyk could beat him. Deal with the mandatories.

                  Stylistically I think Usyk is a very winnable fight for him and he's a hardcore darling so AJ would gain respect for that.

                  No way should he give Wilder an opportunity

                  Theres nothing to gain from fighting Ortiz but I do find Ortiz funny so there'd be laughter value

                  Ruiz 3 needs to happen but its not the right time

                  Joe Joyce could be a huge option if he beats Usyk that becomes a massive fight.
