They have zero confidence in him if those are the names hes going for. Honestly might as well just give Del Boy one final payday.

Or more likely, the second these fights get confirmed Fury will spring out of retirement and lament Joshua for ducking him again

I figured AJ would want to fight Fury after a comeback fight. Guess I was wrong.

I would imagine that he would jump on the chance but Fury is retired so no point talking about him yet.

I wouldn't have much confidence in him either at this point. They're going to try to keep him safe until he can make the money versus Fury if the Big Dosser decides to come back.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...
Btw, Anderson beats him.

Also, that "injury" and "surgery" are highly questionable.

He's been beaten by Dubois (badly) and Usyk (twice comprehensively) - there's no point in re-matching Dubois again after a 3rd round KO - if that fight got made there'd be loads of posters on here chirping away that they want to see fresh match-ups not the same old fighters rotated around and around. Anderson got slaughtered by Bakole and Joshua by Dubois - that's a good do-or-die match-up - the winner puts themselves into the conversation for a title shot (although Joshua will always be there as the cash-cow) and the loser can either go back to scratch or retire.
