Congratulations to Joshua!
Wonder who he'll fight on July 9.

I'd like to see him fight Johann Duhaupas.
Duhaupas is very tough, and would be incredibly motivated.
Would be Joshua's biggest test to date.

You must be joking. Duha is a bum that cant box. He is durable but poses 0 threat to Joshua, or the same Whyte for example.
It could happen though because of his last win.

Out of that list, it's David Haye for me.
I know Haye hasn't done anything to warrant a shot a trinket, but he's talked a good game since embarking on his retirement tour & I want to see him fight someone who isn't certified dead for a change.
It would be an easy sell too.

Stiverne is ranked in the top 15 and could at least be billed as a recent titilist whom Wilder failed to stop.

With Eddie Hearn talking about a stadium fight only Haye -- from that list -- would make sense.
Personally I'd like to see someone durable like Stiverne or Pulev, but are those fights that would sell 50k tickets?

Is July 9th actually set as AJ's next defense? If so I can't see it being Haye, Parker, or Takam given their upcoming bouts, while that turnaround also makes me doubt that the opponent would be the Chisora-Pulev winner, though they'd be more realistic. Regardless of the date I can't see it being Haumono or Briggs, so from that list I'd say Ruiz, Duhaupas, or Teper.

Stiverne is a good call.
Haye is not going to happen, he said it himself he has two fights coming up.

But, if Hearn gave him a call & offered him a shot, would he turn it down?
It would be huge & so very easy to sell.
Haye could be crazy to turn down a shot a Joshua in order to carry on knocking over daffodils, especially as he has called out Joshua.

Even if it is 9th July, don't rule out Haye.
As we all know, Haye isn't averse to pulling out of fights & I'm quite sure he'd happily pull out of the Arnold Whathisface 'fight' to get a huge fight with an opponent that might actually hit him back.

That is not happening mate. Haye is after Joshua, he will fight him tomorrow. But he understands Joshua will not volunteer to fight him at this moment. Thats why he is taking this Micky Mouse fights. lol

Haye has already said it will not be him.

To me Chisora makes the most sense.

Chisora already refused to fight him and now has a Pulev fight in a month time.

I cracked it. It is David Price. Only that can justify Wembley.

Because he'll be pretty busy that evening defending his title in a rematch with Wlad Klitschko in Manchester.

Well he's apparently the one man who has KO'd AJ. I'd like to see him in with Haye, think it would be a cracker of a fight.

3. Erkan Teper
5. Carlos Takam
6. Joshua Parker
7. Vyacheslav Glazkov
8. Kubrat Pulev
9. Derek Chisora
10. Andy Ruiz
11. Bermane Stiverne
12. Robert Helenius
13. David Haye
14. Dominic Breazeale
15. Jarrell Miller
Takam fights parker soon. Chisora pulev fighting soon. Glazkov injured. Teper getting ban for steroids. So thats everyone from 9up taken. Haye got a fight lined up too.. Stiverne would make sense?,
