I still think Hearn will get Ortiz. Figure Ortiz camp trying to squeeze Eddie, who's over a barrel on this one.

I think it is either Hunter
Or even Trevor Bryan who is WBA #1 contender and a New York native

Hearn said absolutely not Bryan.

Wallin is asking for the fight on social media citing his nearly 200 rounds of sparring experience with AJ.

Since he didn't have a fight scheduled, is it possible that Ortiz---he of a checkered past---might have something still in his system that he might be reluctant to have uncovered by our friends at VADA?

I'm not making any unfounded accusations, but if Ortiz ends up turning down the moon, there should be a few sceptics out there.

Bryan stated on Twitter that they have been contacted by Hearn
Yes on the list which appears to be growing no one is accepting yet

Ortiz fought 6 weeks ago and weighed 238.
I'd bet money he took the last 6 weeks off of training and is probably 260 right now

I saw Hearn state no Bryan. But...he's a promoter, ya know...No reports are saying that an offer has been made to Ortiz and he has until Tuesday to accept. The whole thing is a hot mess. They should crucify Miller.

These failed tests piss us all off.
I just hope they can find a fit challenger.
I don't want to see a peak Joshua against an out of shape opponent looking for a pay day.
But with the short notice the only person to blame is Miller
