    Who will Anthony Joshua fight 04/13? (With a stipulation)

    Want to get a feel for what the community thinks, so I am proposing a certain scenario for this question.

    If Dereck Chisora beats Dillian Whyte on December 22nd, who do you think will fight AJ at Wembley on the 13th of April? Let's get your predictions
    29
    Deontay Wilder
    10.34%
    3
    Tyson Fury
    3.45%
    1
    Dereck Chisora
    27.59%
    8
    Jarrell Miller
    17.24%
    5
    Kubrat Pulev
    20.69%
    6
    Luis Ortiz
    3.45%

    Best guess is "Big Baby" Miller @MSG.
    (Test the U.S. waters with AJ as the attraction)

        I don't believe that will happen. Joshua won't take a massive pay cut to fight Miller in the US, even if Hearn wants it.

          Even though the simplest, most probable scenario would be Joshua fighting Chisora, I really think Joshua and Hearn want to show the world they're serious about fighting Wilder. If Whyte loses and Wilder beats Fury convincingly and there's no demand for a rematch, I think/hope that fight happens next.

            I think it'll be between Big Baby & Pulev. I voted for Big Baby doe cuz I think thats the funner fight, but I think its 50/50ish on who would get picked. I think Big Baby being with Hearn helps him. Pulev probably being the easier fight helps him. So who knows. I don't think Chisora will get the call up. If anything we're probably most likely to get Del Boy vs Whyte 3 on the undercard of Joshua's April card or maybe they'll do another PPV a couple months after that idk.

            I think Wilder, Fury & Ortiz have virtually no chance of being in the running.

              In that circumstance i think they would get the pulev mandatory out of the way.

              They'd catch too much flak for fighting Del Boy

              The Wilder fight wont be made next as Wilder wants silly high money and Hearns wants to pay him silly low money

                Why Usyk not an option probably try to sell it as revenge fight for his mate

                  Hadn't thought of Usyk as an option this early, but that's why I left a spot for other. Hard for me to see him wanting to go after Joshua in his first true HW fight

                    I don't know Chisora promoter situation but I'm 100% sure April 13 would be someone promoted or co promoted by Matchroom

                    I can see Usyk pulling the WBO Mando card and fighting AJ in April much more than Eddie trying to sell AJ v Chisora fight to the public
