    Technically Joshua owes Ruiz a third fight. Ruiz beat him more comprehensively than Joshua did in the rematch. Personally I don't want to see it, but it wouldn't surprise me if that ones gets made to 'right that wrong'. I think Whyte is a shoe in, as is Zhang (Hearn mentioned fighting in China). 

    Whilst I don't particularly like him, I do enjoy watching Joshua fight and he's very exciting - so I hope he gets going again soon. I suspect it might not be until February or so though. I notice Hearn has already conceded that December is unlikely. 

    I think the difficulty is that Fury wants big money to fight now, and it's hard to justify a tune up for him like it was a couple of years ago. He fought Schwartz and Wallin partly to introduce him to the US audience off the back of that ESPN deal. It also let him get the last of the rust off and was very effective. Wilder 2 is probably the best I've ever seen him all things considered.

    The other issue with Usyk is who would be a good tune up? Stylistically he's very unique. I guess you could say the same the for Usyk too - who's good preparation for Fury?

     

    I agree.

    The 2nd fight against Wilder he was a completely different beast, the best I have seen him.
