Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Waiting on Verdict From IBF Before Choosing September Foe

I don't think for one second Dubois , Parker or Zhang worry AJ ..

Parker .. beaten him already .. (I don't want to see this that fight was boring though JP deserves it)
Zhang .. beaten him already in the amateurs .. I watched that fight again Zhang had way more energy then and actually looked far better
Dubois ,, defends with his face .. that's suicide against Joshua .. styles make s fights and that's tailor made for AJ

It's been very quickly forgotten that Zhang was dreadful against Wilder.

The sad state of modern HW boxing continues . . .

Fight ZZ or Parker. DDD is 50/50.

Zhang has the WBO interim, so doesn't make any difference unless the full title is on the line.

If no titles, the order is probably Parker (no chin left, power is limited, considered a good enough win), Zhang (AJ is fully prepped for a southpaw now), DDD (it's what's the people want).

Not sure anyone else is in the frame for the moment.

Zhang and DDD are both Queensbury too, so works out for the next 5v5 at Wembley.

Incorrect. Parker is WBO interim champ.

I wanna see AJ vs Dubois. It’s the freshest and most interesting matchup. Also the biggest fight too.

If IBF strips Usyk of their belt then the world boxing will have another newly crowned backdoor champion called Joshua or Dubois. Either of whom have been beaten by the legitimate man, Usyk. Not a great fan of Fury, but it will be hugely unfair if his rematch with Usyk won't be for undisputed.

IBF has been more consisten with their rules than other alphabet bodies. Usyk is already undisputed champion for the history, fighting for the undisputed title again won't change much. And it's not good when top boxers take the belts hostage. No harm if Joshua fights Dubois for the title. And if Joshua wins, the fight with Usyk or Fury would be even bigger.

Of course that is 50/50 because Daniel the low blow headbutt King ...
I don't remember that I have seen dirtier fighter in my life.

He should be disqualified in match vs Hrgovic.

A.J has two left feet, he can't fight anyone who actually knows how to box- he believes he can become champ again - ha ha,

If the title is stripped from Usyk it makes very little sense to see Joshua who was hammered twice by Usyk being allowed to fight for it.

Every heavy worries AJ. He's run out of patsies and will be packing his shorts over facing a legit top 5 guy like Parker, Zhang or Dubois.

True, the ref made AJ/Parker 1 boring, but there wasn't much memorable about both AJ/Usyk fights either, except for his meltdown at the end. There's absolutely no way a third bout is warranted or deserved.

For all the noise coming from AJ and Hearn about anyone, anywhere anytime, the proof of the pudding is always in the tasting and AJ's pudding tastes like chicken and duck.

Usyk already knocked out Dubois on a jab and he beat Joshua twice over 24 rounds. There is absolutely zero argument for taking Usyk's belt and giving it to the winner of a fight between them. The IBF is not worth preserving as an entity and their rules are worthless if they strip the undisputed champion to give it to the winner of a fight between a guy he beat twice and a guy he knocked out on a jab.
