    Joseph Parker. He got the screws put to him vs Wardley.

    Bounce Jalolov's head off the canvas as a tune up and face Itauma.

    I'd love to see it. Hopefully Parker gets this whole drug scandal sorted (if guilty, ban him, if not, then we'll see).

    If he got Dubios out inside 4 rounds, what would your opinion on Usyk v Itauma be? :deal:

    I'd say it would be a hell of a fight and there should be some impetus to it.

    Just a bit of sniffing. Should not be bannable.

    I want him to fight Jarrell Miller in a rematch or exciting European champion Labinot Xhoxhaj because he deserves a rest of a sort of fight before he takes "hard fights," and I also want fun fights.

    From a marketing perspective, Itauma, Wardley's teammate seeking revenge. Both top British HWs.

    Itauma, think its an interesting fight, if Itauma hurt had Dubois early like Wardley did then no chance does he allow him to recover. The speed will make Dubois panic. What will be interesting is how Itauma copes with Dubois's fast powerful jab.

    I would say give Parker his due, but…

    Usyk. He needs to rematch Usyk until he wins. I'm estimating that will happen when Usyk is 47.

    I would make a 47 year old Usyk at worst a slight underdog against the current version of Dubois.

    He would shut up the haters for good, and I am down for it.
