But as it stands, Hearn is expecting to follow up Joshua's upcoming clash with Miller with a long-awaited fight against Wilder before he then looks at the mandatory defences against the WBO, IBF and WBA challengers, in that order.
"WBO with [Oleksandr] Usyk, IBF with [Kubrat] Pulev is after the WBO mandatory, and then there will be a WBA mandatory, which is not set yet," Hearn explained. "Trevor Bryan [is currently No. 1 in the WBA] but he wouldn't be the mandatory. Because it's a regular title, at some point later this year, they will say 'this fight is for the mandatory position.'
"He is going to have a logjam of mandatories. So after Miller, he’s either going to fight Wilder or another fight or, more likely, Usyk.
"If he fights the undisputed fight then he’s got to fight Usyk. Then he’s got to fight Pulev as another mandatory after that. And then he’s got to fight the WBA one. So that’s when you get into the realms of, are we vacating a belt here?"Explore more on these topics:
