I tend to think it's more of a level up fight for AJ not so much for his stock but for his confidence. Whyte will bring it vs AJ and itll be interesting to see if AJ can weather a storm and be aggressive against a genuine rival. I do agree that no one cares about Whyte at this stage but for Hearn it's a win win. If AJ wins he gets a deal done with the Saudis. If Whyte wins he can sell Wilder/Whyte as the mandatory we never saw.Comment

It's not being marketed as some kome kind of big rematch or settler. It's another tune up for Joshua with his new trainer. And it's a decent level of opponent who can sell a fight.
I'm not sure what people expect of Joshua. He's already earned plenty of future opportunities off the back of his career and draw. He has no obligations and can take a nobody as a tune up if he wants... but he'll still fight a better opponent than he needs to because that's what he does. Possibly an unnecessary risk but also probably a good test that he should pass if he's really going to contend again.Comment

The walls are closing in fast. He knows he can't beat Fury and has gotten slapped twice already by the blown-up cruiserweight. Wilder could be Eddie cashing him out before X-mas.
