Anthony Joshua is in a tricky position. He says he wants to fight Deontay Wilder, Joe Joyce or Luis Ortiz while he waits for Oleksandr Usyk to return from the front in Ukraine.
Joshua cannot afford to lose any interim encounter. So who does he fight? For me, Wilder is too dangerous. He is such a tremendous banger. He could switch anyone’s lights out in a heartbeat, no matter the defeats to Tyson Fury. Joshua stopped Joyce twice as an amateur but the pro game is different.
Joyce is tough and durable. He takes a good shot and has tremendous stamina. If Joshua does not get him out of there early it’s a hard night for him. Daniel Dubois has thrown his hat into the ring, which shows just how much the young guys fancy their chances against Joshua.
