I wrote a lot more but it somehow deleted instead of posting so I will try to rewrite it .
There was an interview with Spencer Brown where he mentioned 3 poss fights for JP before Xmas
DDD
Wardley.... Ok but unless Wardley lands a big punch should be a shut out or KO win
Chisora 3....which we will probably end up with but I'm least excited about
DDD I see your not keen Die but a win here for JP would put that DDD pull out to bed. DDD needs JP this time rather than the other way round and while I don't like giving DDD a lifeline if he manages to beat JP it should sell well with the history.
The other reason I'm thinking DDD is that another interview I just saw was with DDD Sam Jones (new manager) and Frank Warren saying DDD soon to announced a big meaningful fight before xmas.... it maybe well before I just don't recall if they mentioned a date.

Thanks bart! Yeah, it could all be possible fights, but I'm thinking what's best for JP. He's waited this long. Surely the WBO would give him a title shot since Usyk, and before that DDD, denied him an opportunity. Of course this is boxing, so fairness has nothing to do with it. JP's problem is that he's been so inactive. Only two rounds in February this year.
I just think you don't reward someone like DDD who screwed and lied to you. Plus, he's dangerous. Chisora is unnecessary but Wardley could be exciting. Of course, Hrgovic is the fight I want whether it's for the WBO belt or not.

Shouldn't be too hard for James Slater, an eastside reporter who always has his finger on the pulse, to figure out which of those three names has talked, or started training for JP:

Now here's DDD talking about a big fight coming up. Could it be him v JP???

Yip thats the interview I mentioned...unless Warren wants them on same card to build a potential WBO title fight if Uysk stripped
As most reports now saying JP v Wardley.
Parker is in camp in Ireland which is good to hear.
I think it is most likely Usyk will drop or be stripped of WBO, he has no interest in JP as he has 2 fights left and wants the big $$ which Parker won't bring to the table...
Nor Kabayel which could mean 2 belts eventually stripped

Yeah, I was thinking that also, that it could be a co-main event to strengthen the card with DDD. Out of the three, I prefer Wardley. JP has already beaten Chisora twice, and DDD is a lifeline for him, plus too dangerous an opponent unless it's for a title fight. Huni should have beaten Wardley, and was beating him until he got caught. I think JP gets him outta there early if they fight. I'm just happy JP has a fight lined up this year, and in only two months time.
