    As per Michael Benson on Twitter.

    Hrgovic has been given 6 options for the undercard for AJ V Ngannou:

    1 - Dubois
    2 - Bakole
    3 - Sanchez
    4 - Miller
    5 - Kabayel
    6 - Anderson

    Which one should he take? Personally I'd love to see Hrgovic fight Bakole or Dubois.

    I think Sanchez would be the most dangerous matchup for Hrgovic.

    From the point of view of moving Hrgovic's career forward Dubois would be the choice. While he may not be the best fighter among the choices he is the most well known name. Beating Dubois would make him more marketable than any other win would.

    I like Hrgovic Dubois.

    I think Hrg probably beats him up and stops him but I thought the same about Miller so can't write Dubois off.

    I think Kabayel is the best fight.

    I am not 100% sold on Hrgovic yet. If he beats Kabayal he shows me he is the real deal.

    Kabayel also needs a big win.

    So that’s the fight I want to see.

    Anderson

    It will bring an American audience to the card, fighting Dubois doesn't bring more eyeballs.

    Plus Anderson is the only one ranked by both TBRB and The Ring. And honestly I don't see it being a particularly difficult fight for Hrgovic

    Why is miller even in that list

    Not sure Anderson would take that fight he'd lose...but HW boxing is dead in America. If he by miracle could beat hurgovic he could forge a new era from nothing

    Since Dubois exposed Miller I go with Dubois instead!

    If he fights either Duboise, Miller or Kayabit, they would all defeat him and severely drop him in the rankings

    Bakole or Kabayel

    Two easiest fights to look impressive against and both have good name recognition.

    Honestly, any of them but Miller would be great. I can't get too excited for a Sanchez fight though.
