    Either cruiserweight repeat or light-heavyweight.

    LHW is my pick, even if only half the elite names enter it'd still be a cracker.

    Imagine if Yarde enters.

    I always knew that it would be LHW next. I made a bold prediction last year that Young Christopher would win the SMW tournament and then immediately enter the LHW one. Might still happen I guess. I think the winner of the SMWs will be offered a slot.

    Haha yep it's definitely a possibility. However on @houmzz thread he thinks it will be a cruiserweight repeat. Guess we'll see.

    IMHO if they could even secure half the top 175, e.g. Kovalev, Bivol, Gvozdyk, WBSSS SMW winner, and some decent contenders like Barrera, Joe Smith Jr, etc. it'd be an excellent tournament.

    If we do get the cruiserweight repeat I'd like to see Vlasov, Glowacki, and Goulamarian get a chance.

    Light Heavy would be awesome, but they need to sort that TV stuff out.

    Lol behave Cut throat......young Christopher,that’s bordering on Isal and his Lil Cinnamon line lol.
    Only messing you know that,young Christopher needs a proper trainer as I don’t believe he’s too old to learn new tricks.

    Young Cristopher better stay the F away from Kovalev, Adonis, Bivol & comp.

    SMW is his ceiling. He should bate Degale into a fight

    Bellew would be nice but I think he is only interested in a straight shot at the winner of this one.

    Jean Pascal will happily answer yes if he gets a call. No, he's not retired. He's looking for a fight and was about to give Elbiali another chance but that fell through when Al moved the fight to Toronto.
    Pascal wants to fight in front of his fans. And then retire, or maybe not lol

    And only if Ward / Fury don't bite, more likely if it's Usyk I think ... Bellew is scared of Gassiev's power

    I think he is interested in big money fights, Usyk or Gasiev aren't big money fights, he might face Ward or Jack/Stevnson winner or just sit out all summer and return in September/October.

    I think with proper marketing Bellew vs Usyk for the undisputed cruiserweight title could sell well in the UK.

    No matter who Bellew fights out of Ward or Stevenson/Jack are not big enough draws to move the fight to the US, and UK fans do not know either particularly well.
