    Zhang is far too easy work for him.
    The thing is I don't think the IBF will strip Usyk now because they already kind of hinted that there's a chance he may keep the belt and I think the only reason they would have stripped him is because Hrgovic has been waiting so long for a shot, but now he's out of the picture and Dubois hasn't really been waiting for a shot at the IBF, so I think the the IBF will keep the belt on Usyk for rematch with Fury.

    If that's the case, which I suspect, then there will be no belt on the line for AJ against Dubois. do you think that makes the fight less likely to happen? Maybe it opens up more options for AJ's opponent at Wembley. Where as if they did strip Usyk, I think AJ v Dubois is nailed on.

AJ is just better than both guys I mentioned, Dubois isnt eating right hands from AJ like he did tonight and Zhang is pretty easy to plan for, obviously he can get caught I just dont see it. Ive been wrong many times also, no one should bet off my picks.


      yup. Zhang catches everyone. he will catch AJ too. AJ will do the bambi legs again.

        I think Joshua will fight Dubois.

        There are not many better options. Wilder is done and Parker rematch is unlikely.

        Zhang - Kabayel?

          Eddie Hearn is shellshocked tonight. 0-10


          there is no way in hell he throws Joshua in there with Zhang after witnessing that horrific wilder KO. Wilder who haunted AJ for the good part of a decade.


          Zhang could shatter the golden goose.

            Zhang is far more dangerous than Dubois. Dubous is basic.

              Watch AJ's body language in the Dubois fight. He was genuinely worried about the prospect of facing either.

              In the Wilder fight, he was practically salivating on facing the winner.

              Zhang at 42, prone to gassing and having seen Parker school him is a match made in heaven for Joshua.

              Dubois, young, hungry, proven and improving ? Oh hell no. AJ don't want none of that smoke!

                Easy enough to say so put him in a rematch with Parker and let him prove it.

                  AJ beat an MMA fighter with a record of 0-1

                  Zhang just beat Wilder, who AJ has been ducking for 5+ years. LMFAO

                    I doubt he fights Dubois without a belt on the line.

                    What's the next biggest fight for him? Obviously they would have been hoping Wilder was an option but that fight can't be defended now. Mind you, Fury v Chisora 3 got made when Fury was a champion so anything is possible.

                      Parker isn't old, shot, limited or with a shït trainer.

                      He ticks none of AJ's boxes.
