    It seems to me that most of these should have a fight scheduled by now.

    Has anybody read anything about their next fights?

    Zhang is going to enforce his rematch with Parker.

    Its not confirmed or even hinted but i think Kabayel will probably fight Bakole. Makes sense. Neither guy took punishment in their last fight so its the perfect time for them to match.

    Personally i prefer Zhang-Bakole and Kabayel-Parker for stylistic reasons but i doubt that Zhang will allow it.

    I think Gassiev is done.

    Hrgovic doesn't have the motivation. If he does have the motivation, he will likely come back vs a journeyman to rebuild confidence.

    By all accounts, Parker vs. Zhang II, maybe even Bakole vs. Kabayel, nothing is known about Gassiev anymore and Hrgovic has been written off and that's what everyone wanted, I wouldn't be surprised if he retires...

    I don't want to see another rematch, when there is a lot of good matchups.

    Bakole vs Zhang

    Kabayel vs Parker

    Hrgovic vs Ajagba

    Gassiev vs Ruiz

    Makhmudov vs Wallin

    Whyte vs Lerena

    In one and a half month Frank Sanchez should be cleared for training after his knee operation. Maybe a fight in the early 2025.

    I'd hate to see Parker-Zhang rematch, though it's probably the most profitable fight for him. Hopefully he comes in lighter.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all if Turki stepped in to scrap the Zhang V Parker rematch.

    I still really wanna see Hrgovic vs Makhmudov. Always thought it was a fascinating style matchup, but after the Kabayel fight I figured they would be on different paths. Who knows, maybe it will happen now?

    also:

    Bakole vs Zhang - second that

    Parker vs Kabayel - second that too

    how about Ajagba vs Wilder?!? Or even vs Anderson maybe.

    Ruiz Vs Hunter - battle for US supremacy?

    Torrez vs Itauma - battle of the hyped prospects (would also tune in to either of them against Whyte)

    Joyce vs Martin - win or go home?


    So many possibilities at heavy, outside of the big 3 or 4.

    Bakole vs Ajagba. Parker vs Kabayel. Zhang vs Miller to test Miller's chin and Zhangs gas tank

    Bokole Ajagba ... two huge African populations near to each other. A slugfest. Parker Kabayel ... cool style matchup Imo ... both on the fringe of belts. Zhang Miller possibly in China. Risk reward works for Zhang. Political contexts and Miller's loud mouth persona sells it.

    Zhang is a joke.

    He should just go away. The lazy, fat ****.
