Many fans believe Hearn has tunnel vision right now, and is only interested in using 2012 U.S Olympian Michael Hunter as Joshua’s replacement. Hearn liked the big, slow 300+ pound Miller as Joshua’s opponent, and thought he was ideal guy to face him due to his ability to talk up fights. Of course, we don’t know if Hearn is actually interested in using Ortiz as Joshua’s next opponent. If Hearn picks Whyte as Joshua’s opponent, there’s not going to be a lot of interest from casuals in the States to see two foreign fighters they’ve never heard battle it out. If Hearn is serious about wanting Joshua to fight a U.S based fighter, then Charr doesn’t meet his requirements.
