    I'm pretty sure Ward isn't interested. He can earn more money outside the tournament, and if he wishes could fight the winner next year.

    The earlier thread about whether Usyk would be in said he was fighting in August in Ukraine. I believe Usyk wants to be in the tourney, but having to forgo a homecoming defence in a stadium is likely the issue that's keeping him from committing as of yet.

    I really do hope he enters. Surely a deal with the WBSS can made such that his QF is in Ukraine assuming the money's there.

    Damn, they actually got the best and got it right. We have to say, the WBSS is great.:yaay

    I think Makabu is most likely. He's the best guy who's applied. Kalenga doesn't quite make it. Huck and Lebedev are likely not the same anymore, and it's best that we're getting guys at their peak prime.

    With my rankings, and assuming the top 4 seeds pick how I rank the rest, the draw would be this...

    Usyk (1) vs Wlodarczyk (8)
    Dorticos (4) vs Glowacki (5)

    Gassiev (2) vs Makabu (7)
    Briedis (3) vs Kudryashov (6)

    FFS Huck deserves the slot over Makabu and Perez. Also hate to be a Nay Sayer{pun intended} but I think Usyk does not enter.

    Not much chance of this one being a boring UD.
