I've heard rumours about potential opponents for a tune-up for Joshua, one being Joyce & the other being Deontay Wilder.
In respect of Wilder, that would certainly be a ballsy so-called tune-up.
Wilder has his faults, but he is nobody's tune-up; he is a legitimate fight for any top HW.
Joshua would be taking an extraordinary risk fighting Wilder whilst waiting for a Usyk rematch.
Joshua is gunshy these days & whilst boxing and moving might be the best tactic against Wilder, but Joshua is not blessed with the greatest stamina & I am doubtful he can avoid Wilder for 12 rounds.
If I were Joshua, I would just wait for Usyk; there's no point in taking risks at this stage in his career.
A Joyce fight might be good for Joyce, but I don't see what's in it for Joshua.
If Joshua loses, he becomes a busted flush, if he wins, he still in the same position, waiting for Usyk.
