    Probably fight a guy like Breazeale, if he wants to continue fighting. He can make pretty good money fighting prospects being a gate keeper and being a stay busy type of guy for someone a bit higher end if he can get a couple wins.

    A gatekeeper basically, anyone who isn't the goods he stands a good chance of beating but anyone who is the goods should beat him. Not a terrible gig as a heavy who naturally get paid more.

      i guess he can be involved in some good north american level fights. he held the NABO for a while but never had to face anyone decent for it. wouldn't mind seeing him vs guys like arreola, mansour, rossy, molina, etc.

        Even though he got cleaned out the exposure from this fight could lead to a few reasonable paydays for him.

        People know his name now

        I dont think he is as terrible as some are making out. Get back into the gym and keep learning

          I think fights like Brezeale, Chisora, Malik Scott, Whyte, Glazcov rematch, Duhuapas, Molina etc are decent and would probably be quite interesting to watch.

            Depends how big his Joshua purse really was. If it was really $8M than he's not fighting no one for a year. If he got a nice lil payday I suspect he won't fight til fall & he'll probably fight a journeymen level guy. If he takes on a name it'll be a Joey Dawejko type guy at best. It won't be a very meaningful fight.

              Probably full circle to where he was before this whole crazy merry-go-round - back to being a mostly unknown North American level heavyweight, albeit now without the unbeaten record or any relevance in terms of being a belt holder. He can probably retire now to be honest...he is never going to accomplish more than he has already by being in the right place at the right time...might as well call it a day and live his life with his new found wealth.

              Probably will carry on if there are decent money fights out there for him though.

                I doubt he fights again.

                £5 million in the bank! If that's true why would he bother?

                He came up miles short. Miles.

                  He's set for life now, and his name value will still get him one or two decent paydays too.

                  Even though he wasn't any good, it's nice to see what looks like a humble and nice guy get some big money.

                    This is it.

                    This is the best case scenario for all boxers. They all deserve this kind of luck really. Well a lot of them.

                    Only judging him from my own perspective. I would not be willing to fight for $50,000 or whatever after that. Seems sensible enough.

                    I'd be smiling too if Joshua knocked me on my arse for £5 million.
