From Stu's facebook page:
Stuart Duncan No guys in my opinion that is the right direction Eddie is pointing AJ in .. That said AJ is going to have to face a mandatory beyond that tying him up until mid 2018 (realistically) thus no mention of Parker. Ortiz isn't on the radar - he has nothing Joe needs - he isn't a champion - he doesn't attract a big purse and he is a hard fight - why go there unless you have to? Like AJ has an agenda - he is going for meaningful fights that attract big dollars .. Bellew has nothing we need - a win over Fury builds Joe's brand in the UK .. he had a win over an injured Haye .. a fight with Bellew would be meaningless and wouldn't attract the right dollars. Duco have an agenda beyond Fury - but Joe has to get past Fury first - then we will talk about what direction he is heading in ..
