MAR 9th - AJ v Hrgovic, Parker v Zhang

Doesn't really make sense for AJ and Parker but great for Hrgovic and Zhang!

 

Opetaia in line for his 2nd contracted fight for Fury vs Uysk card or this March one

 

They need to know if the IBF are stripping Fury/Usyk winner and whether Fury/Usyk even bother with a rematch. If it's a wide fight there won't be a rematch.

AJ said he wants to be at that fight

I think we'll see the world of boxing honour two boxing gods into retirement.

 

Opetaia vs Mikaelian may be. I personally hope this is made with Saudi money, Opetaia needs to get a belt again & start unifying CW

Opetaia vs Bivol also being thrown around but I think this is 2nd best as I see Opetaia beating him comfortably & Bivol needs to fight the winner of Beterbiev vs Callum Smith

 

Justi Huni if he can stay injury free also in line for March as he is contracted to Matchroom

 

If Usyk wins then Joshua vs Hrgovic for the IBF makes no sense.

Let’s say Joshua wins. Then he is IBF Champion next to Usyk as unified Champion? That would be very awkward.

In case Fury wins it’s sets up Fury vs Joshua perfectly.

 

For the above reason I think it makes more sense to do it like this:

Joshua vs Zhang
Hrgovic vs Parker

Parker comes off a bigger win then Joshua so he deserves that IBF title shot.

Joshua gets a chance to extend his brand to 1.4 billion Chinese.

 

Yep, AJ and Zhang have history and could make for a compelling Revenge or Repeat story.

 

AJ's team wouldn't take a risk with fighting Zhang.

 

I don’t know. There are too many belts and too many secondary belts. And those rankings are corrupt as can be.

I think if need be Turki has to pull out a few extra millions to make sure the fights that need to get made get made.

What Turki and the Saudis are doing is the best development in Boxing of the last 20 years.

 

I want:

Joshua Wilder
Hrgovic Parker

 

He's supposed to fight Briedis again.
