Not sure what JP should do next but keeping busy is obviously his key ingredient.
I don't want him to give a potential leg up to Joyce, Dudois, Ruiz etc
Sit back and see what unfolds post Fury v Usyk and what titles become available then target that route
Could have a early busy fight above Kean level

Keeping busy, yes, but at another level. The three fights before Wilder is the past. He just needs to stay relevant in the top ten, and he should by beating Wilder. Lee has him sharp and fit, and the quality of opponent should keep him at that level. DDD is a good fight for him. Forget JJ. Zhang made JJ irrelevant No need to revisit that. Maybe JP will be on the undercard of the rematch in SA with Usyk/Fury. Just get a sense that the Saudis will want some of the winners from yesterday on that undercard.

I think if JP is targeting Zhang for the vacant WBO then a lead up with McKean or another southpaw makes sense to me.
DDD did well to beat Miller but Miller threw stuff all and was an unfit punching bag so yeah maybe beat him while his stocks are high.
But JP wants a belt so keep focused on that trajectory.

Charr has a sort of belt:

WBA
Belt Oleksandr Usyk
Belt Mahmoud Charr

On second thought, I've never been that impressed with Zhang until the JJ fight. I know Zhang was ill? in the Hrgovic fight, but he looked ordinary. And he also has a sort of belt.
