Triple D is destined for big things. Great jab, good attitude and very heavy handed. Would love to see him in with Dillian in the future.

He really needs a stiffer test now , if only for the rounds. I thought Gorman would have given him a harder fight but he got blown away as well .

My only concern with Dubois is can he last in the later rounds . He’s a big lad , so will he gas in a tough fight by round 7 .

Joyce / Takam / Whyte / Chisora would be great match up's for himself.

Warren alluded to the fact that Chisora was offered but ducked it

I doubt Chisora would duck a fight with anyone!

Its a risk/ reward thing though, I am sure that Chisora will get much more money and opportunity fighting someone from the matchroom stable on Sky Sports.

Warren will either need to pay well over the odds or get Dubois in to a mandatory position in order to get a big name. Its why most of Warren's decent fighters end up eventually jumping ship.

Dubois looks an absolute beast and a very good bet to be a world champ at some stage. Problem he has now is to get anyone decent to fight him Frank Warren is going to have to throw some serious cash at it to make anyone want to take the risk.

Apparently Whyte is next for Joshua at White Hart Lane, April or May
Joshua's next fight is a title defence. Either Pulev or Usyk - meaning he has to drop one of his belts . I would be very surprised if he fought Whyte next . Since Whyte is WBC mandatory


Though I might be completely wrong.

I think Hearn is hoping that the IBF and WBO can come to agreement between themselves on who is next in which case Joshua could keep both belts.

If one has to go then I would imagine it will be the WBO which is generally the less prestigious.

In which case the IBF mandatory is Pulev at the moment I believe

Pulev or Usyk may be offered stand aside money, with Fury and Wilder rumoured to have a third fight already pencilled in for Old Trafford in the Summer subject to the outcome in Vegas, Hearn really has got to deliver for Whyte, a stadium fight with Joshua will do well both on a live gate and PPV, and don't rule out a Whyte win.

Depends on the organisations. Title fights take higher priority. So Hearn would have to convince both IBF and WBO to allow Joshua to fight Whyte next. Unlikely to happen unless he drops both belts.

Are belts basically there to hold your trousers up?

Would you agree that Fury, Wilder, Whyte and Joshua are the best 4 heavyweights in the world currently?

Fury vs Wilder one semi final, Whyte vs Joshua the other, with a super fight for the two winners at Wembley/Cardiff or Manchester in the late Summer?

If the money's right, which it will be, surely Fury/Wilder 3 could be put back to 2021?

FWIW IMHO a fit Fury, in mind and body, beats all the others anyway.

Whyte is not top four. Whyte has a mandatory position with the WBC for the WBC belt. Why risk that?

Yes, a fully fit and mentally strong Fury could easily beat anyone but he has his weaknesses.

Highly unlikely that Pulev, Bob Arum and Top Rank would agree to step aside.

Joshua's next fight will most likely be Pulev in the UK IMHO.
