Title: AJ's next fight Post by: posi on December 09, 2019, 09:18:05 AM Create this thread since the AJ vs Ruiz jr rematch has ended and I believe talking about Anthony next opponent on this threed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174146.0) is somehow off-topic.
https://i.imgur.com/2BYBT3a.jpg A lot of people have doubt is ability but he shocked the world by regaining his lost heavy weight title through stylish and sophistication point in Saudi Arabia some days ago. The WBO president have once said "immediately after AJ regained his heavy weight title that he would be obliged to defend it heavyweight in six months while Eddie Hearn believed AJ next opponent to be Kubrat Pulev. The question is who wi, next opponent,s next fight?

I am not familiar with the 2 boxers that could be his next opponent and with that I have to make some research. Oleksandr Usyk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksandr_Usyk Quote Total fights 17 Wins 17 Wins by KO 13 Losses 0 Kubrat Pulev https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubrat_Pulev Quote Total fights 29 Wins 28 Wins by KO 14 Losses 1 I can say both fighters have great record and either of them is a good match with AJ. TBH, what I really like to see soon is AJ to fight the winner of Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder fight.

TBH, what I really like to see soon is AJ to fight the winner of Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder fight. I have seen Usyk fight , and I thought Usyk is a much more worthy opponent because of his style that is nore similar to Klitchko but this one is a much strong and younger version, this fight is more interesting than a fight to Kubrat Pulev, but the most interesting fight that worth a mega fight is a fight with either, Wilder or Fury. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: Jating on December 09, 2019, 11:44:34 AM His next fight is where there is a lot of incentive with less risk.
(1) Usyk - a bloated Cruiserweight who just move to Heavyweight in his last fight. Mandatory for Joshua's WBO belt (2) Pulev - mandatory for the IBF belt. (3) Winner of Wilder vs Fury II. So it's either Hearn, who manages Joshua put up a step aside money so that Joshua can fight the winner of Wilder vs Fury and unify the Heavyweight belt. And there's a lot of money for sure that it's hard to resist for both parties.

Some others would say it was a brilliant fight. Others would say it was a masterful show of performance. But Wilder wasn't amazed at AJ's boxing, even summarized it as 'just dance and grab and jab and hold' and even said he won't ever be fighting that way.[1] Well, that's why others considered the 12-round match as boring but perhaps it was just exactly what AJ needed. For now, AJ has a handful of options for his next fight. The team would be back to the table planning which opponent is the best one that would give the money, the entertainment, and the value.

I don't like those mandatories, no names with little incentives money wise for AJ. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: xZork on December 09, 2019, 01:02:17 PM One vote for Oleksandr Usyk, although AJ "muscles" play very well but I still prefer Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk won gold medals at the 2011 World Championships and 2012 Olympics, both in heavyweight. He became professional in 2013 and won the undisputed heavyweight cruiser championship in the 15th professional battle of 2018. With his track record, Usyk has been named the Warrior of the Year. 2018 by Sports Illustrated, ESPN, The Ring, and American Boxing Writers Association. With all those achievements, I believe that Oleksandr Usyk will win.

(https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/284612) Do you think he is prepared for the speed and punch power of that division? Do you think it will be smart to throw him against top1-3 boxer in "heavy" ? :D Kubrat Pulev - natural heavyweight, will be the most suitable next oponent for AJ.

I think that is what we all want to watch, I am tired of waiting, they have danced around this subject for long enough, at least Wilder and Fury already fought each other and will do it again, if there is not a fight between Joshua and one of those two then it is clear that he does not believe he can beat them and he is avoiding them.But I really believe he will fight either Usyk or Pulev and we have to hope he does not lose again or we may have to wait until he fights once again to recover his titles.

I don't like those mandatories, no names with little incentives money wise for AJ. I would like to see this man really work out for his words, and I am not confident with just trash talks. All I wanted is reality and not speculative promises, because you'll be funny moron while the actual phase of the game won't subside with the thoughts of this aggressive boxer. Just like what Pacquiao and Thurman's fight, the unexpected one hit him remarkably. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: Harlot on December 09, 2019, 08:43:19 PM (3) Winner of Wilder vs Fury II.

With the years of only talking trash to each other and dodging any kind of agreement for a fight I think it's safe to say that a match between AJ against one of those guys won't happen after Wilder vs. Fury II, the fight won't even happen if they didn't ended up with a draw. So after this match we would only see a lot of media noise yet no major agreements will happen only taunts and noise. I think this year they would just defend their belts on a subpar pro boxer just for the sake of keeping their belts but it still depends on how much money is involve if they really want to face each other.

Yep, a fight with either Fury or Wilder should be next, however, there are boxing politics here so I doubt that AJ will face either one of them next. Maybe just the mandatory for his next fight with less risk, and let Wilder or Fury trash talk him. Until it will build up a momentum later in 2020 and probably set up in 2021. For now, I'm seeing AJ fighting his mandatories and taking it easy for his next fight. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: posi on December 09, 2019, 10:04:13 PM (3) Winner of Wilder vs Fury II.

Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: ene1980 on December 09, 2019, 10:26:30 PM I support what you said and i don't see Anthony's fight either Wilder or Fury if their rematch also end up as draw but i don't think their upcoming fight will be draw because Fury seems not to like the fact there's no winner between the two of them which is the reason he make a video which he posted on his Instagram yesterday. The chances of seeing another draw against Fury and Wilder is minimal as you really cannot trust the judges and if the fight goes the distance i am hoping that the judges will give the decision to Wilder but as always Wilder does need one clean punch to knock out anyone in any weight division and he can even move down because he is not a heavily built heavyweight boxer.Joshua is having a sign of relief and i bet he will not go for another tough fight as he might need a long rest and have an easy fight just to defend the belt. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: stadus on December 10, 2019, 02:41:22 AM but the most interesting fight that worth a mega fight is a fight with either, Wilder or Fury. We want this but this will not happen if AJ can't defend his title on his next fight. He is not undefeated anymore, and I believe his opponent will not treat him special anymore, and they will be confident since they know he got beaten up one time by a fat guy. Ruiz is not really that of a good boxer, he was just lucky to hurt AJ in their first fight and we all witness how AJ schooled him in the 2nd fight. His name (Ruiz) is out in the circulation anymore, people not even talking anymore of a trilogy of this two because they know it might end up the same. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: smyslov on December 10, 2019, 02:46:43 AM He kept fighting unknown fighters that is why people can't never stopped or questioning who is a the real heavyweight champion, but now that he is expose because of his first fight against Ruiz, he really should face Wilder or Fury, for me a fight with any of these two great fighters will guaranteed him ticket as the best pound for pound great in this generation.
Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: mich on December 10, 2019, 07:16:25 AM This last go around with RUIZ JR. was not so entertaining but he did what was required of him to win his belts back
I for one would not mind seeing another candidate to fight AJ instead of setting up the trilogy. It will be not any different then this last time with AJ winning with his jab and by him staying at a distance Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: Vaculin on December 10, 2019, 12:57:56 PM He kept fighting unknown fighters that is why people can't never stopped or questioning who is a the real heavyweight champion, but now that he is expose because of his first fight against Ruiz, he really should face Wilder or Fury, for me a fight with any of these two great fighters will guaranteed him ticket as the best pound for pound great in this generation. That would happen probably next year, if we keep calling that then for sure they will give us a chance. Remember that they are in the business of money and if people want that fight they can give that fight. AJ is soft, I don't know what would happen to him if he will fight Wilder TBH.

It really should happen they must not deprive the boxing fans for a great fight, imagine if Ruiz won the match, there's not going to be a chance to see a Wilder- Joshua fight, I want them to fight both of them champions, so we will only have one face of the heavyweight in this era and can proclaim himself as the best heavyweight boxer of this generation.

This is going to be a Deontay Wilder vs Bermane Stiverne copy/paste fight and it will end quickly. Stiverne is the same fatty as Ruiz, and has same hard punch. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: YuginKadoya on December 10, 2019, 04:30:11 PM Anthony Joshua Made a great deal in defeating Ruiz but I as well didn't feel any excitement watching their fight I think Anthony Joshua is smart with his movement and pretty much Oleksandr Usyk recent made a statement that he wants to fight Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and Tyson Fury in an interview I think it is up to Joshua to return that call, I think that Oleksandr Usyk had what it takes to make a match with Anthony Joshua, let's just wait if their managers and promoters will make some progress about this.

Right, this is a money fight, this has been brewing for years now, prior to Tyson Fury entering the HW division, talks of Wilder vs Joshua has been in the air for the last two years or so. They have built the hype already and it's about time to cash it out next year. Of course mandatory fights are also good to give the number one fighter a crack, however, since boxing is a business, promoters are going to put a fight that can generate big money.

Deontey Wilder and Tyson Fury were always calling out Anthony Joshua to fight to determine the best heavyweight in the world but his management team and Anthony Joshua was always finding opponents to built up his brand rather than giving the fight fans what they wanted and that is what is expected this time too as you will be denied to see a epic fight in their prime, the Tyson Fury Wilder fight happened because Tyson took the initiative and the management of Wilder was reluctant but Wilder came out asking for the fight because he knew Tyson was coming back after a long lay back and it was the right opportunity to fight him but we all know what happened and i am looking for that rematch than anything else.Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: TravelMug on December 12, 2019, 10:00:03 PM Next fight for Anthony Joshua should be winner of Tyson Fury - Deontey Wilder fight, but I think he will again skip and avoid any of those two fighters.

Eventually Wilder and Joshua will have to face each other. Maybe Joshua doesn't want to mention Wilder's name because Wilder will have to face Fury first in Feb 2020. So if Wilder wins and he call out Joshua's name, then it's game on. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: posi on December 13, 2019, 02:50:17 AM Next fight for Anthony Joshua should be winner of Tyson Fury - Deontey Wilder fight, but I think he will again skip and avoid any of those two fighters. In the end, he will run out of alibi and excuses, I have watched one interview that Wilder badly wanted a fight with a Joshua, but they did not mention that after he won against Ruiz, because of this they are depriving boxing fans a great fight in the heavyweight that only both of them can provide. Quote Joshua said after his fight on Saturday night: "Oleksandr Usyk, Pulev, Ruiz, I don't want to mention the other guy's name, you know who they are, but when they're ready. "I've fought a lot of great names on my record. I've beaten some good names as well and I'm looking forward to taking on more challenges. Andy is still on that list, because I think we make for good music. He's a good dancing partner. I'd love to unite the belts [against Wilder], but I think me chasing him, same as in the fights, if I'm chasing the right hand, I'm chasing the right hook, it may come crashing down. "I realise that chasing that fight wasn't playing into my benefit. I've just going to let the path take its course. I've got great people managing me. I've got a great team, and when the opportunity presents itself to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, you know me by now, I'll definitely step up and take the challenge."

The chances of seeing another draw against Fury and Wilder is minimal as you really cannot trust the judges and if the fight goes the distance i am hoping that the judges will give the decision to Wilder but as always Wilder does need one clean punch to knock out anyone in any weight division and he can even move down because he is not a heavily built heavyweight boxer.Joshua is having a sign of relief and i bet he will not go for another tough fight as he might need a long rest and have an easy fight just to defend the belt. Also in the fight of Wilder vs Fury if the fight goes to the distance then my bet will be on Fury to win the match, Wilder will have to KO him if he wants that win.

Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: suzanne5223 on December 26, 2019, 06:56:53 PM Next fight for Anthony Joshua should be winner of Tyson Fury - Deontey Wilder fight, Nah. He already mentioned 4 (Tyson, Wilder, Usyk and Pulev) of them as his next opponent.but I think he will again skip and avoid any of those two fighters. He kept fighting unknown fighters that is why people can't never stopped or questioning who is a the real heavyweight champion, but now that he is expose because of his first fight against Ruiz, he really should face Wilder or Fury, for me a fight with any of these two great fighters will guaranteed him ticket as the best pound for pound great in this generation. That would happen probably next year, if we keep calling that then for sure they will give us a chance. Remember that they are in the business of money and if people want that fight they can give that fight. AJ is soft, I don't know what would happen to him if he will fight Wilder TBH. Next fight for Anthony Joshua should be winner of Tyson Fury - Deontey Wilder fight, but I think he will again skip and avoid any of those two fighters. In the end, he will run out of alibi and excuses, I have watched one interview that Wilder badly wanted a fight with a Joshua, but they did not mention that after he won against Ruiz, because of this they are depriving boxing fans a great fight in the heavyweight that only both of them can provide. https://i.imgur.com/AjwmLK3.jpg Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: smyslov on December 27, 2019, 06:32:33 AM Deontay rejected to fight Joshua, when he finds out that Joshua is going to get double of what he is getting check all the information here

Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: Jating on December 27, 2019, 01:41:53 PM As per this article:
Quote Earlier this month in Saudi Arabia, Anthony Joshua reclaimed the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight titles when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over Andy Ruiz in their rematch. Now Joshua has two mandatory obligations at the table - and both sanctioning organizations have ordered Joshua to make a defense. The mandatory challenger under the WBO is Oleksandr Usyk, while the IBF has ordered Joshua to face Kubrat Pulev. https://www.boxingscene.com/joshua-id-hate-vacate-belt-i-know-i-get-it-right-back--145418 So it seems that the boxing bodies is forcing Joshua to face his mandatories otherwise he will be strip of the titles or he needed to vacant it. So I guess he doesn't have the control on who he chooses to fight next because of the sanctioning bodies in boxing.

Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: DarkDays on December 27, 2019, 06:06:53 PM Looking at the rankings, there doesn't really appear to be anybody in the top 5 that are likely to face AJ any time soon. Wilder and Fury are tied up to fight in February, Usyk probably doesn't want that smoke for his second fight at heavyweight and Ruiz already got that smoke twice in a row.
Discounting all of these, we have the potential Dillian Whyte rematch (good chance), but I suspect Joshua will end up fighting someone ranked slightly lower, such as Kownacki or Hrgovic. I don't want to see him fight anybody that any of his previous opponents have already beat...

I think Wilder might get a little luckier this time around and knock fury out. Joshua will probably fancy fighting fury more than Wilder due to Joshua being rocked a few times in his career and Wilder having that insane power. I think we will see Joshua trying to get into the head of fury before the rematch. Dillian Whyte looks in terrible shape at the moment and if his last fight is anything to judge him on I don't think Joshua will be accepting a fight with him anytime soon.

Yea, that's likely, but it is highly unlikely to be his next fight. As it stands, Joshua's mandatories are Trevor Bryan for the WBA belt, Dillian Whyte for the WBC, Kubrat Pulev for the IBF and Usyk for his other two belts. Looking at this landscape, the easiest person to beat would obviously be Pulev since he already got beat by Dillian Whyte. Logically, it if Joshua is to fight three times next year he will get rid of Pulev first, then move on to Usyk or Whyte (probably Usyk) and then finish up with the winner of Wilder/Fury (so probably Fury). This is a wildly optimistic timeline though, he'll probably fight someone like Kownacki or Jarell Miller as a tick over rather than a mandatory. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: AverageGlabella on December 29, 2019, 06:46:41 PM Yea, that's likely, but it is highly unlikely to be his next fight. Joshua's mandatories are boring and it will be a bad year for heavyweight boxing fans after the Fury and Wilder fight. Yes I don't think Joshua would fancy Whyte as they have had some close calls in the past but Kownacki and jarell miller would be the safer options for him. Joshua has a lot to prove in his next big fight and I don't think I fancy him for either Wilder or Fury. The wilder and fury rematch is going to be one hell of a night just like last time. It was unbelievable how Fury got up after that massive combination from Wilder last time out but other than the combination Wilder did not do a lot. As it stands, Joshua's mandatories are Trevor Bryan for the WBA belt, Dillian Whyte for the WBC, Kubrat Pulev for the IBF and Usyk for his other two belts.

You can't just go up and down weight classes without vacating your belts if you have mandatories. This means AJ can't just go and beat everyone at Cruiserweight when there's nobody left to fight, otherwise he'll need to vacate the belts he has spent so long collecting. Plus, he's probably too big to cut down to cruiserweight, it would ruin him.

Quote "I always said the belts do not represent me. I will stand as a champion, even if I have to give one up," Joshua told Sky Sports. "It would give me an opportunity to face another world champion – I’ve beaten four world champions on my record now. "If I give up a belt it creates more history and entertainment. If I have to, I’ll give it away – but I’ll get it back again." https://www.boxingscene.com/joshua-ill-stand-champion-i-give-one-up--145663 @fortunecrypto - boxing today is no longer the best fighting the best. You're right, it's all business now, but want we really wanted to see is AJ facing either Fury or Wilder next and as boxing fans we wanted to see those three facing one another in an epic clash. We do hope that he will face the winner of Fury vs Wilder. And I'm sure that when there's enough money in the table, they can eventually arrange and iron out it everything and make the fight. Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: Oilacris on January 06, 2020, 02:04:16 PM This is what AJ has to say: That was a good line though and i agree for his point on giving up a belt and taking it back.It do really give out some entertainment and thrill.I dont have any hopes for Fury nor wilder yet Quote "I always said the belts do not represent me. I will stand as a champion, even if I have to give one up," Joshua told Sky Sports. "It would give me an opportunity to face another world champion – I’ve beaten four world champions on my record now. "If I give up a belt it creates more history and entertainment. If I have to, I’ll give it away – but I’ll get it back again." https://www.boxingscene.com/joshua-ill-stand-champion-i-give-one-up--145663 @fortunecrypto - boxing today is no longer the best fighting the best.

Title: Re: AJ's next fight Post by: Docnaster on January 06, 2020, 09:10:14 PM I don’t wanna see any of these mandatory challengers for AJ’s belts, I wanna see AJ fight Wilder & Fury. They're both locked up in a fight in February. Anthony Joshua previously said he wants to fight in the sprint, and I doubt there's going to be a quick turnaround between Fury and Wilder such that they could possibly make a fighter with Joshua. The undisputed fight will likely be set around 6 months in advance to give the promoters and networks time to properly market the event (i.e. milk it for as much as possible), since it'll be the biggest fight of the decade. This isn't something to throw together shortly after another huge championship fight.

When a fighter gets knocked down, or gets a cut etc, then they usually get suspended by the relevant athletic commission for AT LEAST two months before they can resume fighting professionally. At that rate, assuming someone gets knocked out (probably Fury), he would be able to fight until at least May and that's still wildly optimistic since these fights never get made that quickly.

They'll be fighting soon but I like Wilder as probably he could knock down AJ based on how I figure this two will fight in the ring. The most anticipated fight this year so far is the Wilder vs Fury, and this is better than AJ vs Ortiz fight 1 and 2 combined,.. 2 was just a hype.

At that rate, assuming someone gets knocked out (probably Fury), he would be able to fight until at least May and that's still wildly optimistic since these fights never get made that quickly. At least we should see the fight whether AJ vs Fury or AJ vs Wilder before the end of 2020 or at least first half of 2021. This is really doable and as @Docnaster, but it might take some time to set up, as network will have a lot their hands to promote it and will try every marketing strategy so that they can milk the hell out of that fight. Heavyweight division is somewhat stack up right now, and there are a lot of good fights to be made this 2020. But all eyes are on the big three and we do hope that we will see them fighting each other at least this 2020.

Either way, it wouldn't be a surprise if AJ quickly KOs Pulev around May-June, then fights the winner of Fury/Wilder towards the end of the year. We can always dream.

That should be the case, they cannot avoid each other, the fight should happen, because it is the fight that really happens, this is what promoters and fight experts want and dream that must happen, I hope they will be considerate enough to accept the money that they will deal.

Yeah, this is a good time-table for AJ to fight Pulev, which we think he can really win, his stack somewhat going up again and his name into the discussions to fight the winner of Wilder vs Fury. Assuming that there will be no trilogy here, because there are news that either way, there will be a third fight, to make more money for both of them. |
