sounds like a good plan to me

AJ is like a dog on a leash to Hearn. How about AJ speak up. AJ wants to be in massive fights? He missed the most massive fight of his career. Good job Hearn and team.

BTW - Parker was still the better guy that night than Wallin. Wallin made AJ look good. I think the Parker that showed up against Wilder would have probably UD AJ.

Finally Eddie comes out and says something real.

Their plan was always to duck any legit contender and crush cans to build AJ up into "hot property" while waiting for a gift wrapped paper belt to become available or a cash out fight against an old, out of shape and unmotivated Fury.

AJ dont want any of that Zhang, Parker, Sanchez, Wilder or any other big name fight. He just wants to be A-side Joshy, 3 time world champ who earphoned his way to victory and dialed in the wins on social media.

By that Hearn means :
We're fighting Nganou next.
Then Hrgovic.
Then the winner of Fury / Usyk.

Yaaaawn.

The best thing to Happen is Usyk gets injured in replace with AJ

[Hooded Terror]

I expect Fury to pull out with another beaut of a reason sometime before end of the month. Joshua is well positioned coming off of a southpaw in Wallin. Regardless of AJ's current readiness, Fury is apt tp pull a stunt.

[pollywog]

I reckon Fury wants to retire undisputed, unified and undefeated, so does Usyk.

Someone is gonna do that next month.

There's no way either would jeopardize the opportunity for perpetual bragging rights forever by risking injury.

[Jab jab boom]

Fury vs Usyk happens and both should retire afterwards. The winner has 0 boxing related reason to face AJ as it adds nothing to their legacy. Especially Usyk. Why would a trilogy even be an option for someone who lost clearly twice already? Aj’s lane is with the Wilders, Parkers, Ruiz’s , as the “also rans” during this weak era of heavyweights.

If AJ is after money then he needs to fight Ngannou. The Hrgovic for the vacant IBF
