The heavyweight contender meets Gary Cornish for the vacant British belt at London’s O2 Arena on September 12 and the show has already shifted over 8,000 seats.

Whyte next is a good match up but after that I'd like to see him take on a lower ranked top 10 contender. Someone like a Wach or even Thompson would be a cool fight.

Cornish fight is garage. Never seen Whyte, but I guess they have that "rivalry" similar to Coyle-Campbell, which should demand it's own ppv.

Joshua is ranked #2 by WBC and an Olympic Gold Medalist.

I'd like to see him against Erkan Teper. I don't think Teper wins, but he brings that go getter mentality, which makes up for his lack of talent. He will push extra hard and test Joshua.
