As previously reported, Anthony Joshua's proposed world heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko on December 10 will not go ahead.

Who are they going to get in just six weeks time left??

No one of any substance that's for sure.

[KillaCamNZ]

Tony Thompson, probably.

[RiC-DiC]

focus on Eric Molina/Price first. either dude will be AJ's best opponent.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

I think it'll be Price. 3 rounds at the absolute most.

Next year could be crazy for Joshua. When Parker gets the WBO belt I suppose he might not be so interested in getting at Joshua, but Haye and Klitschko both look certain. Then Fury might be back later in the year.

Klitschko lost the WBA belt to Tyson Fury last November, along with the IBF title. The latter sanctioning body insisted on a rematch, leading Fury to vacate that belt which was won by Joshua against Charles Martin in April

The IBF insisted on a rematch? that isn't what happened. Fury was stripped BECAUSE of the rematch clause, and because he wouldn't fight their mando next.

Regarding the Joshua-Klitschko, a shame for sure, hopefully it will happen next year though. I imagine it'll be price for joshua, hopefully with a chisora-whyte co-main. Klitschko will probs recover quickly from this minor injury and batter Lucas Browne on 10/12 in Germany

Big, big year for AJ in 2017 one thinks.

Interested to see what kind of timeframe the WBO placed on Parker (or Ruiz, if he wins..) fighting Haye as the mando, immediate fight? I believe AJ and Parker have until March to sort out that mando for the IBF - could probably see an extension and a few more voluntaries for AJ before a unification fight against the winner of Parker-Haye.

AJ-Haye would draw good numbers, I imagine.
