I'm calling it, Michael Hunter will replace Miller and fight AJ on June 1st.

Hunter is clearly the most likely option for a number of reasons.

#1. He's signed with Matchroom.

#2. He's already in camp training for a fight.

#3. He's American and I know DAZN were pushing for AJ to face an American fighter in his US debut.

#4. He's credible enough as an opponent that there wouldn't be a huge fan backlash like there would be if AJ fought Charr.

Ortiz would be the best option but i'm not sure that Hearn would be able to make a deal with Haymon to bring him to DAZN or if Ortiz would take the fight on short notice.

The size difference between Hunter and Miller tho lmao...

AJ was preparing for a big f#king guy. They need someone with the same sort of style of Miller to replace him. Maybe a Kownacki?

I've seen this fella "Jermaine Franklin" mentioned. No real idea who he is though.

Haymon wouldn't stop Ortiz from getting his highest career purse. Americans don't care where fighters are from and Ortiz is more popular in the States than Hunter anyway.

Dude, Haymon just stopped Wilder from getting his highest career purse.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

I think Hunter either gets blasted out in a couple of rounds or comes close to winning a decision. Basically it'll either be very easy or very difficult for A Juicin' J, nothing in between.

Haymon literally can't stop anything. It's still up to the fighters.

That isn't true. Ortiz has a contract with Haymon. He's the guy who makes the calls.

Sure it is. They're free agents.

[pillowfists98]

No they aren't. Read this contract if you don't believe me.
