X3 fights a year?

[Primo Carnera]

Most would agree but the champion should be allowed to fight an "easier" opponent if it was the case.

However they may not be paid the same amount so would prefer not to take the unnecessary risk.

Could AJ fill a stadium 3 times per year?

Not getting at Joshua as such, but why do Champions, WORLD CHAMPIONS NO LESS, take “Easier” fights? If you want to call yourself “Champion of the whole World,” then you have to keep defending that status.
There’s enough people in the World that want to take that title away from you.
When you get to the top of the hill, you don’t have a breather, you keep pushing .
