Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Could Return Sooner Than December, Says Barry Hearn

[thack]

Actually I would love to see Joshua - Zhang. Zhang`s power against Joshua`s will.

What would happen, would Zhang hurt him in first 7 rounds? Would Zhang gas out? Would Joshua quit in his corner?

To be honest, Zhang would be probably the biggest puncher Joshua ever fought as a pro.

That is one of the many 'unfortunates' .Only recently Zhang was offered but turned down by Joshua/Hearn , instead electing to go for someone coming off a loss ,Franklin.You won't get to see that and that's for sure!

I've heard he's had a nose job to correct the break, advertising & sponsor's alway's come first.

There is nothing preventing him
I'm sure finding a Franklin upgrade will not take much doing.

He has to get in there as often as he can and get his mojo back.

AJ should fight again quickly against another fringe opponent before a bigger fight at the end of the year or early 2024. It'll probably be Whyte but they shouldn't wait 8 months for that.

Wilder should fight Andy Ruiz, that fight makes so much sense

Fury is lacking decent dance partners. Dubois or Zhang are probably nearest the top. Or maybe Andy Ruiz if Wilder doesn't want that smoke.

What happens if Dubois did choose to fight Fury too?

Does Usyk get a voluntary or is it straight onto next mandatory which is Hrgovic if I'm not mistaken?

If he did get a voluntary, Usyk vs Wilder would be decent too.

Indeed Zhilei Zhang would be a very, very good opponent for AJ! But I doubt AJ would want to get beaten again. Zhilei Zhang would spark out AJ.
