    Wonder if Itauma's USA debut will involve an American opponent?

    PS - Please don't tell me its Michael Hunter.

    Richard Torrez? They could make it for the IBF belt or even the interim version. IIRC the last mandatory fight was Dubois against Joshua.

    Please let it be Wilder. Outside of that, Ruiz jr.

    It’s going to be Charles Martin.

    I'd expect both parties to fancy marinating the fight for longer, Ruiz, Wilder, Miller, Hunter, Anderson more likely.

    Wouldn't mind seeing that fight to be fair.

    Miller or Ruiz would be fun.

    Both pretty durable at the very least.

    If AJ's never going to fight him, let's get Wilder for the US fight.

    Big Pharma Miller doesn't deserve a big Itauma payday, really. Andy Ruiz is probably a better opponent if they can drag him away from the buffet to blow off the cobwebs and get him in a 10-rounder beforehand.

    It sells because of the Joshua angle, and Ruiz has got a solid chin, fast hands, and could pose Itauma some problems early on if he doesn't come in looking like a parade float.
