    It ends one of two ways - Briggs is permanently knocked out of boxing...or AJ gets exposed. Win-win for the fans.

    I would ****ing love that, but Briggs missed out on his last title shot due to failing a drug test. Last person you want to rely on on short notice.

      Whats him being in uk got to do with it? Fights in america. And briggs is even older than ortiz and was never much good even in his prime, wtf is it with people wanting fighters to get a shot just cause theyve got a big mouth.

        Ortiz failed a test leading to Wilder, what's the damn difference? They still fought, Ortiz was allegedly Joshua's #1 pick despite failing a test. I don't see the problem.

          Briggs is one of a VERY Elite select few that has a win over George Foreman, a former world champion and even now, a hard puncher. Ducked by Grabomir and David Haye.

          Joshua needs a name. None of the others want it. Would you rather he fight a bum instead?

            Clean fighters like deontay and Joshua shouldn't be given cheats like fury Ortiz and dillian opportunities in the first place

              Nah man I like Briggs but he ain't ready for that and likely never will be. Briggs wants a tuneup first before a big fight but the man is 47 and likely doesn't have anyone in the boxing world to help him get a big fight.

                The problem is that Joshua and Hearn have no say in it if Briggs fails a drug test, because New York will then refuse grant him a license.

                  Thats a ridiculous idea. Briggs should be nowhere near any of the current top heavyweights.

                    Or maybe they could offer Claressa Shields the fight. She can beat up male pro boxers apparently.
