    I think Anthony Joshua and his team, should really play big 'now is the time to take a chance. And fight ether Agit Kabayel, Martin Bakole, Efe Ajagba or Lawerance Okolie'.

    None of those fights are the biggest box office fights, Anthony Joshua could be involved in 'I still believe that a trilogy fight against Andy Ruiz Junior, and a fight against Deontay Wilder are still by far bigger fights. But tactically if Joshua is able to win any of those fights, that would position him in the game to fight for a World title'.

    All of those fighters are ranked very high in the WBC rankings, or they have some form of title belt.

    Note: Anthony Joshua with good match making, is still astonishingly only 1 or 2 fights away from a World title challenge 'and all of those fighters in my opinion, would leap at the chance of fighting Joshua. Outside of an undisputed title fight against Oleksandr Uysk, Joshua is the biggest opportunity for any Heavyweight fighter in the world'.

    That is why Andre Ward mentioned fighting Anthony Joshua and not Oleksandr Uysk 'Joshua even without any backing from certain promotions in the sport, is a massive business opportunity for many fighters'.

    All of those fighters I have just mentioned? I think Anthony Joshua has the ability to beat them all 'some in more impression fashion than others. The most difficult fight for him out of all of those potential fights is against Agit Kabayel'.

    To be honest with you all? I am not really that apprehensive of any fighter competing against Anthony Joshua 'I have stated many times before? If the rematch is made against Daniel Dubois II, I still believe Joshua has the ability to win every minute of every single round. Systematically beating down Daniel Dubois for the win. And if the trilogy fight against Oleksandr Uysk is ever made, I will back Anthony Joshua for the win'.

    Every single fighter who Oleksandr Uysk has fought twice 'has fought a worst fight in their second attempt, Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois. The only heavyweight who markedly improved their effort in the rematch was Anthony Joshua'.

    Daniel Dubois was smashed up inside 5 rounds 'and Tyson Fury for the first time ever in his career, while he was competitive vs Uysk II. He fought an unusually tentative fight, and seemed to not have the ability to throw caution to the wind when he really needed to in order to win'.

    Anthony Joshua in his rematch vs Oleksandr Uysk II 'In retrospect fought a very balanced, and great tactical fight. Joshua did not fatigue as bad as Fury I & II or Dubois I & II, he was aggressive but not completely wild, and his defence and fundamental technical skills were also very solid throughout the entire fight. Joshua quite simply just got beaten by the fighter on the night in Oleksandr Uysk'.

    To conclude: Anthony Joshua has been the only heavyweight challenger with an improving trajectory vs Oleksandr Uysk I & II 'and people in the game, know that Joshua still has dimensions to his game which he can use more vs Oleksandr Usyk'.

    Round 9 of Joshua vs Uysk II, is the most clear round any fighter has ever won vs Oleksandr Uysk at heavyweight. The only thing Uysk could do in that moment, was wait until Joshua's intensity dropped'.

    I would expect that Eddie Hearn and team Joshua 'are trying their best to maximize Joshua's gain with his next fight. In one move. People must understand? Fighters such as Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, are still many levels above Joseph Parker and Agit Kabayel. Those latter fighters right now are sitting around waiting for opportunities, while Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua create the opportunities for other fighters in the heavyweight Divisions' etc.

      I'd rather see Fury stay retired. No interest at all in seeing him fight again.
      At this point, a clown like Jake is the only one I see him splattering. Parker, Zhang, Bakole and Ajagba all beat him at this point.

        Fury is never going to take that fight. He knows that he has already done enough to be widely perceived as ranking above AJ historically, the best UK HW of their era, and the clear favourite in fantasy match up discussions whenever people in future talk about how the fight might have gone. Doubt Fury really wants to take the risk in giving AJ the opportunity to rewrite all that.

        Anyway, honestly I dont see the point in Joshua sticking around if hes not getting the Fury fight. Hes 36 next month and we are very much at the point of diminishing returns now. His fights dont generate anywhere near the interest they did at his peak.

          You must understand how much horse**** that is and if not, then you need to pull your head outta Joshua's ass. That tired ol nag aint winning no more races so you need to stop kicking it.

          Fury and Joshua would get pieced up vs either Parker or Kabayel. Parker and Kabayel have had less opportunity than Fury and Joshua - by virtue of them being British - ever had.

          If anyone is sitting around waiting for an opportunity for a title shot they don't deserve and haven't earned, it's Fury and Joshua!
