    All hypothetical - but with the big fights/names already spoke for/mooted, here's what I would like to see on the next mega card to tie up loose ends and settle the bracket:

    Fury vs Joshua - Battle of Britain and runner up mega match.
    Wilder vs Joyce - win or go home. Power vs chin.
    Itauma vs Miller - rugged second rung test to see where Itauma is currently.,
    Bakole vs Ajagba - already made?
    Jalolov vs Hrgovic - time to get moving for both men.
    Makhmudov vs Martin - just another win or go home type match. curious style clash.


    Thoughts on the above? Again, purely hypothetical - but shows how many mix n match fights there are out there waiting to be made.

    These are great matchups, if the fights happen by any chance these are my predictions

    Fury defeats Joshua harder than expected by decision

    Joyce should somehow overcome Wilder even though both are finished

    Itauma would knock out Miller in the later rounds because Miller still has a great chin

    Bakole defeats Ajagba with a brutal stoppage

    Jalolov vs. Hrgovic, a very interesting fight, I honestly choose Jalolov by a late TKO

    Makhmudov should have enough to knock out Martin

    Yeah - I think my feelings mostly comport with yours. Aside from:

    I get a sneaky feeling Joshua beats Fury. I think it could be an amazing/defining fight for both men to cover themselves in glory too.

    Joyce vs Wilder I have no idea. Whoever cares the most at this point, so possibly Joyce?

    the other one is I think Martin might pull it out vs Makhmudov. He can look good on occasions, just struggles to keep it all together.

    anyway, would be a nice and fun way to settle the bracket as I say - would help clarify the levels of the fighters.

    Joyce may be fighting Wardley in the summer in a stadium fight at Portman Road.

    For a stadium fight a domestic opponent makes most sense. Let's see.

    Wardley is now number 1 with the WBA which is interesting, maybe he will fight Pulev for the Regular Title next on Turki's Ring show in England in March?

    Turki's Ring Show in England sounds exciting indeed. We know he loves the HWs, hopefully we can see some more of Whyte, Okolie (lol) and Itauma as well then.
