    Will Parker be fighting Kabayel? I hope so, good matchup, but is it really going to happen?

    Why haven't I heard about this upcoming fight? I check the boxing news every day.

    No, I'm hoping they fight and usyk fights the winner

    But they won't fight and I think usyk fights Fury again

    I have faith in Turki

    He will deliver something decent.

    The Heavyweight division needs more than just one or two good matchups a year. I like a lot of these suggestions, hopefully Turki can get at least some of these arranged.

    None. We all know whos best. I want to see someone new come along. Im tired of the same old, same old distinctly average fighters. Chisora is barely top 10 but he's the only fighter at HW that puts it all on the line and actually makes me want to watch him. We need some new blood

    Fury V AJ for sure - probably the HW match up I want to see the most to be honest.

    Parker V Kabayel would be a great title eliminator.

    Would love to see Chisora fight Miller. Also, Whyte V Ruiz would be a fun fight.

    For a while I really wanted to see Zhang fight Bakole but Bakole's last two perfomance's have exposed him so much that I think Zhang would brutally knock him out early.

    Also would like to see Jalolov actually climbing up the ladder to fight some gatekeepers rather than part-timers to journeymen - Yoka, Wallin for example. Same goes for Itauma on top of him needing to fight a bit more regularly but he has a lot more time on his side at only 20.

    I'd be very disappointed if Parker doesn't fight Kabayel.

    Parker/Kabayel have no one else to fight other than each other. Also, after Dubois, Usyk only has one more fight and the winner of Parker/Kabayel who both deserve an eliminator would have proven to be a formidable challenger to Usyk by then.

    Danier Pero vs anyone top 40.
    Sirenko vs anyone top 40.

    Jalolov vs anyone top 30.
    Itauma vs someone like Hemi Ahio ... seasoned still prime fighter coming to win.

    Teremoana vs ???? ... interested in what style/level others would have in mind.
