    Probably Bakole, as the cheap option. Might be a decent fight but it's hardly headline-grabbing. Plus where does the loser turn after that?

    Price must be screaming for Hughie Fury, he might actually look decent against him in a Blouse v Blouse, loser leaves town and dignity affair.

    It's actually a terrible fight for Price! Hughie can stay at range, he can take a punch too then Price will gas. Perfect fight for Hughie mind !

    Originally Hearn said he was trying to make Bakole vs Romanov (who knocked Wilder out) for the Newcastle card but him vs Chisora would be very entertaining I think.

    I'd be happy with Bakole-Chisora personally.

    So would I. Could be Martin's ticket to mainstream recognition.

    It’s a pretty hard sell to a casual audience (only really Povetkin is a ‘name’ out of the 5 listed) but Bakole is a good fight and an interesting one. Think the styles would gel too.

    Going by the video David Haye posted on his Facebook earlier today it sounds like the opponent is based in America. Who does that rule out?

    All apart from Hunter I think (although Wallin Swedish I am not sure where he is based?).

    Rivas - Based in Canada.
    Bakole - Based in Scotland I think?
    Povetkin - Russia

    I would like to see Chisora fight Manuel Charr. Charr has a big mouth and holds a world title. It would be nice to see Del Boy spark that fool and claim a world title.

    This must be the only person on the planet who wants to see Manuel Charr fight. And on a PPV card as well. Deary me.

    I saw an interview with Hearn yesterday and he mentioned Bryant Jennings as a potential opponent. He's based in America...

    To me the only big enough name out there to make it still seem like a PPV to the casuals is Povetkin. Doubt most people will have heard of Hunter even though that would be a good fight.
