Who is next for Anthony Joshua?

[Master]

Three-time world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis instead believes the winner of Joseph Parker's fight with Zhilei Zhang would deserve it more.

He wrote on X: "OK, Eddie Hearn, I know this is the promoter in you speaking, so I’ll break it down like the boxing fan I am.

"If AJ beats Ngannou, which he should, does that elevate him to a shot at undisputed?

"Beating Wallin and Ngannou? There’s a much better case for the winner of Joseph Parker vs Zhilei Zhang.

"And if AJ gets through Ngannou, and Usyk wins undisputed, is the appetite for Usyk vs Joshua 3 out there?

"If Fury becomes undisputed, the man says he’s vacating all belts but the WBC and Ring so Fury in effect becomes last undisputed until someone else can Thanos them back together.

"I still want to see AJ fight Fury and Wilder… those are big fights.

"But like I told Mike Tyson, if you keep fighting guys like Lou Savarese, you will NEVER be ready for me."

Hearn responded directly to Lewis' post, confirming his plan remains for Joshua to fight the winner of Fury v Usyk.

He replied: "Break down whatever you want. His excellency confirmed the plan.

"Winner of #JoshuaNgannou v winner of #FuryUsyk - The dream has always been Undisputed and we are one win away for challenging for it.

"No problem with you preferring Parker or Zhang getting a shot at Undisputed over AJ!"

He added: "Don’t fight it! Again... please listen to the press conference! When AJ beats Ngannou and if Fury beats Usyk..one of the biggest fights ever awaits!"

Lennox Lewis never lets an opportunity to stick it to Anthony Joshua pass him by. Or talk about himself as if he's whiter than white.

No disrespect to Parker. He's earned himself an Indian summer and I'm really pleased he beat Wilder. But I fully expect Zhang to club him into submission. That being the case. In Lewis's assessment, Zhang beating Joyce and the guy Joyce mullered, is better than Wallin and Ngannou? If Parker beats Zhang, he's got a point. No matter how full of obligation it is.

Is this fight on a Friday?

[mrbig1]

I agree with Lewis. The winner of Parker vs Zhang should get the next title fight. I don't think that will happen. if we're going by name and money Fury will fight AJ in London if he beats Usyk. I wouldn't want to see a third Usyk vs AJ. Aj has to stay busy. Fight guys with no power and no chin. AJ has not been the same after the first Ruiz fight. Wait till a big fight comes his way then retire.

Watched this last night. I don’t know if I’m in the minority, but what an absolute load of bollocks this trailer is , yet everyone is falling over themselves to blow sunshine up “Turkey’s” (not sure of his name) ass and comment on how epic it is.
Fuck me, guys on a video arcade game getting punched into orbit and landing on the over side of the World, it is fucking pathetic.
But not as pathetic as everyone scared shitless to criticise this shit that looks like it was made by an 8 year old .
It’s the rich kid from up the street that will take his ball away if he’s not allowed to score the winning goal! Fuckin ridiculous.

Eddie Hearn has revealed the winner of Anthony Joshua's heavyweight bout against Francis Ngannou will face the victor of the undisputed heavyweight championship showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

According to Hearn, Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Entertainment, is looking to schedule a meeting between the winner of Joshua-Ngannou against whoever emerges victorious from Fury and Usyk's undisputed meeting.

"His Excellency said the winner of this fight faces the winner of Fury-Usyk," Hearn told the MMA Hour on Monday night. "That is a dream chance for us because we chased that for so long.

"AJ is going to beat Francis Ngannou, and then he's going to beat the winner of Fury-Usyk, and he's going to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion."

Ha! Strong SF2Turbo Balrog vibes that many watching will miss, not have been born in 1992 when it was released. now a veritable old-school classic. The match itself is ludicrous and Fury is partly to blame along with Hearn etc for giving Ngannou a free pass to play at the top table when he should have to earn his place just like anyone else. The whole Saudi thing is sports washing bullshit of the lowest order. The same crap that has happened with the premier league and it's plastic fanbase.
