Helenius the Nordic Nightmare. Not someone you want to run into in a Forest....in Finland... at nighttime.
Kabayel would be a great replacement, if he has the stones to step in at short notice. This fight was originally going to be set up before it fell through. Kabayel's been fighting soft touches since Chisora though, so I'm not optimistic of its happening.

Barn burner. Like they should really hold this in a barn and burn it down right along with everyone who thinks this match makes sense for both of their respective careers.
After some research, I realised that Kabayel's supposed to fight in the USA and that he has recently signed a contract with ESPN and Top Rank. But yeah, Kabayel is at the point of career where he should opt for big fights. With Chisora, he has a big shot on his resume that should open him the doors to move forward, if he's serious enough.
Why though? They're both about as good as they're going to be so it makes sense to fight now. If it's a good fight then there can be a rematch, either immediate or later in their careers. No point in hanging around really.
Kabayel's (in my opinion) the most skilled operator at HW after Usyk, but unlike Hunter he lacks the hunger to really prove himself, which is why Hunter has shot up the rankings and Kabayel's still languishing in the doldrums. Dude basically outboxed Chisora in his 17th fight without breaking a sweat then went on to do sweet FA. He's got skills to burn but no ambition, and at some point it'll bite him in the ass.
