    Looking at this the best credible opponent that doesn't appear to offer a huge risk is Arthur Szpilka.

    He just beat Adamek and has only 1 defeat, to Klitschko's next opponent Bryant Jennings. He also has a decent KO ratio on paper but it has mostly been vs cans.

    So it ticks a lot of boxes and if Fury can do a better job on him than Jennings did that will help build the Klitschko fight.

    Spzilka has a big polish following in the uk so it makes sense really
