Probably Povetkin first, probably always has been. Matchroom couldn't have been surprised by the WBA clarification of him being mandatory, hes on the damn undercard. Any fear Povetkin wasn't going to get a fight soon surely his team would have pulled him off the undercard. Wembley summer fight. Depends how serious Ryabinsky is about taking it to Russia though, could see them going Wilder first just so they don't have to go to Russia.

This.If AJ defeats Parker, his next fight is against Povetkin, nearly 100% certain. Plenty already discussing it in Russian media as well. Easy fight to make and tons of money behind it.
I think Povetkin will be AJ's toughest fight... if he wins, possibly Wilder then, or Fury depending on his shape or some voluntary.
If he loses to Povetkin... the odds for Wilder fight go up exponentially.
It's why Povetkin is on the undercard. The winner of his fight with Price will probably be the mandatory for Joshua. And he pretty much has to fight a mandatory next especially in Eddie Hearn's plans. And of course Povetkin has a bit of power. Unlike Parker. So it will be a better test of his chin and his defense.
But right now. I can see Wilder is the only man that is almost certain to defeat him. If AJ beats Wilder it will be his proof as a champion.
But the more I look at AJ's legs the more I imagine them not being able to recover from one of those straight rights from Wilder.Comment
