The only other valid option for April I can see is Usyk - if he beats Bellew in style that’d go down well in the UK.It would have to be this fight or Miller tbh if it wasn’t Wilder.
Obviously if you get 80,000 people in seats only a tiny amount of them are real boxing fans. If the alternative was Ortiz it’s gonna be hard for them to buy into that. People criticised Povetkin for his advancing years but he looks like a young dude. You can’t say the same for Ortiz who also has the unfortunate bonus of having gone too many rounds with Dave Allen.
I’d go with Jarrell Miller probably. It will be a good fight too.
I think Fury fight will be easily made if he were successful.
One of AJ or Wilder are getting sparked before that fight happens
AJ / Hearn might want to catch Usyk cold before he gets properly cracking at heavyweight too.Comment

Great shout.
Usyk would probably take it too as he has good grounds to believe he could win tooComment

I’d back Usyk I think. Only issue being whether he could hurt Joshua enough to keep him honest.
Other than that, Usyk definitely has the skills, footwork, stamina to outbox Joshua. He has the boxing IQ to change things up, confuse AJ throughout too.
Probably lean 60/40 toward Usyk.Comment

I kind of think Whyte has worked his way back into this fight. He has taken some real matches, and I have no problem with him anymore.
It's just so...anticlimactic. It isn't like Joshua/Whyte was a fight of the year candidate or anything. It was a good match, but no one was sitting around on pins and needles hoping for a repeat. It seems so "blah". I am not saying I wouldn't watch or be at least interested, but it is the kind of fight you realize is on the day of. Kind of like... "Oh, yeah, Joshua is on now. It is that Whyte rematch, ain't it?" No one is circling the calendar or excited for the Joshua/Whyte face to face sit downs.
Can you imagine the ratings for a Wilder/Joshua face to face sit down before their fight?? It would be must watch TV.
This would be so ordinary.Comment

I've got a feeling we may get Whyte v Miller in December to decide who gets Joshua in April if Wilder/Fury don't want it.
That would be awesomeComment
