    • Path 1: Usyk vacates the WBO to rematch Dubois. Parker and Joshua fight over his scraps, then Usyk in his swansong reunifies with either Parker or Joshua III.

    • Path 2: Usyk faces Parker next. Dubois rematches Joshua. Usyk in his swansong faces Dubois-Joshua winner, or Kabayel, or Joyce-Hrgović winner.

    • Path 3: Usyk vacates the WBO and faces Kabayel next, and some permutation of Parker/Dubois/Joshua/Hrgović/Joyce/Fury in his swansong.

    • Path 4: Moses Itauma jumps the line and gets a shot, and either he or Usyk faces any of the ranked contenders/remaining titlists next.

    • Other (state your path. Don't come around here with no ex-UFC champ Alex Pereira nonsense, though :rosstheboss)

    Parker fights Huni for the WBO belt in Australia.

    Usyk gets KTFO by Dubois, to the body ofcourse.

    Parker and Dubois fight for undisputed. Parker wins by TKO10 after multiple knockdowns on either side.

    Nice fantasy but roughly as likely to come to pass as @ForemanJab's :sisi1

    Or maybe I will have Chisora fight for either the IBF or WBO belt causing the upset. And Chisora retires as Champion. I doubt he would retire if he holds one of the belts though.

    path 3 is Awesome
    Though in an ideal world Usyk fights Parker, Dubuios fights Agit and the winners meet to unify

    Of the options mentioned, option 1 most likely. It would be stupid if Itauma got a shot this early.

    However, I think we will see Uysk V Dubois and Parker V Kabayel in the undercard, rather than Parker V AJ.

    Path 3 is awesome. It won’t happen, but if Usyk dropped the WBO to voluntarily face Kabayel who is by far his hardest stylistic matchup and the only genuine danger to his zero, he goes down as the baddest, ballsiest boxer of all-time.

    I'm God! I will place prime Ali, Usyk, Lewis, M. Tyson, Holyfield and Holmes in a super 6 tournament.

    I fear it will be Path 1 but without Parker vs Joshua. Parker will fight someone like Huni, Joshua will fight some no-hoper. Usyk - Dubois winner will then fight Joshua.

    My choice would be:

    Fury vs Joshua at Wembley
    Dubois vs Parker rescheduled on the undercard

    in the meantime, Usyk faces Kabayel.

    winner of that fight unifies with the IBF champion, whoever that may be. Winner of Joshua vs Fury is next in line - but tbh I’m not that bothered about seeing either man face Usyk again. Just really want to see them face each other in a big event, and then maybe ride off into the sunset.
