What happens after AJ-Wilder?

[Sparked_26]

Miller looks like a threat. Haye if he beats Bellew. Del Boy might even gets a title shot here, lol.

I can see it now. Wilder actually shocks AJ then makes a routine defence in Alabama against Chisora and decimated.

Chisora heavyweight King 2019.

[E10Rifle]

Dubois, Okolie, Gassiev maybe. There’s interest in the heavyweights due to the AJ/Wilder/Parker axis, but as soon as one of them cleans things up it really is a paper-thin division. Haye and Fat Fury can jog on.

Alot of delusion on here....

Parker /Haye ? / Ortiz ? / Wilder REMATCH ? / Povetkin?/ Miller/whyte rematch/ Breazeale rematch ? /...Pulev ???? TYSON FURY ??????lol

these are the only legit guys who will be around he has to deal with the next 2 years.

After 2 years then the new wave of very tough eastern europeans will emege..and a U.k guy named Duboi.

Those naming Usyk/Gassiev and who??Come on now.....theres plenty of real HW's with skills that will make for very good fights against Joshua.

After Wilder-Joshua, almost regardless of what Joseph Parker does, the boxing world will basically once again have an undisputed heavyweight champion (With the WBC, WBA, and IBF all working together well at this point). [Note: win or lose, I do see a series of fights between Wilder and Joshua]

With one undisputed champion (and Wilder/Joshua both in position to basically be fighting three times a year), you'll likely see a carousel of mandatory defenses, with spectacles mixed in when voluntary defense windows open up.

[Scipio2009]

Who do you think the winner goes onto fight?

How much more popularity does the winner get, does Wilder gain mass recognition from the fans if he wins? Does AJ expand to and take over the US if he wins?

Can AJ or Wilder rebound from a brutal stoppage? This is almost guaranteed to happen to 1 of them.


Gassiev or Usyk may even move up to HW and be potential foes as well, I believe they've talked about it before.

-In terms of fights, I'd expect the Joseph Parker fight, and then a cycle of mandatory defenses (Bellew-Haye winner likely in line for the WBA shot, Dillian Whyte in line for the next WBC shot, Jarell Miller heading toward the IBF). Add in voluntary defenses against folks like Tyson Fury, Povetkin, and even possibly Vitali Klitschko and you've got the next three years of heavyweight boxing pretty well figured out.

-How each guy is viewed will depend on how the fights go, regardless of who wins/loses.

If the fight approaches Joshua-Klitschko (skilled slugfest that ends inside 10 rounds), with the rematch doing the same (with the other fighter winning), you basically launch both guys as attractions.

-Gassiev/Usyk, out whatever cruiserweight that emerges unified will likely get their shot during the voluntary defense period that should happen.

AJ will reign as the top guy at Heavyweight and biggest boxing star in the world.. He can fight anyone and fill out stadiums.. But the biggest fight would be with Fury if he comes back.. Then possibly Haye if he beats Bellew.. Whyte rematch.. Parker.. Joyce.. Olimpic gold medalist Tony Yoka should he stepping up by then.. But by the time Dubious is ready, he will be the the most formidable challenge to AJ and that will be built up to one of the biggest fights in UK.
