First defense for Anthony Joshua?

[BrometheusBob.]

This is their rankings before Joshua beat Martin.

1 NOT RATED
2 NOT RATED
3 Erkan Teper Germany
4 Anthony Joshua England
5 Carlos Takam France
6 Joshua Parker New Zealand(won wba common title)
7 Vyacheslav Glazkov Ukraine
8 Kubrat Pulev Bulgaria
9 Derek Chisora Zimbabwe
10 Andy Ruiz Mexico
11 Bermane Stiverne Haiti
12 Robert Helenius Finland(since beat by Duhaupas)
13 David Haye United Kingdom
14 Dominic Breazeale United States
15 Jarrell Miller United States

I believe that Joseph* Parker/Takam is for the new mando spot. There is probably enough time before that fight takes place to schedule AJ's next fight. That way he could get a voluntary in first.

No. Whyte has power to deter Joshua, Scott doesn't.

I was referring too Stiverne being a better version of Whyte but I reckon they will pick a much easier defense in Malik Scott.

Well he's not better than whyte because he's completely immobile, like a statue

So is Whyte the only movement he has ever shown was when Joshua sent him to the canvas.

I have a feeling it will be Eric Molina or Duhaupas.

I like Breazeale better cuz I think he probably has the best recent W (Mansour) of the guys on the table, but if I'm a promoter I probably like Bermane best. He's more of a name guy & it allows for comparisons with one of the other title holders. So if he KO's Bermane that raises his stock more than a Breazeale or Molina KO.

IMO they won't do Stiverne because he's too risky. They will definitely want a safe opponent, yet not just a journeyman. Could be Stiverne obviously, though, I just think Hearn really will protect him until a Fury/Haye fight.

I want Stieverne but I think they will go with Eric Molina.

Did you see Bermane's last fight? He seems pretty safe these days lol.
