    Hopefully it will be Parker vs Usyk and Dubois vs Kabayel

    I think an AJ Parker fight would be boring. AJ would be very cautious and unwilling to engage. Parker, despite his brilliance, would struggle to close the distance vs the taller man. I don't think these 2 match up particularly well vs each other from an entertainment point of view.

    Anyone but Fury again.

    Kaybell is a dangerous top HW in his prime .. with a formidable body punching style ... and Usyk being Usyk, he might actually take on that challenge.

    I don't want to see Chisora get further CTE. But that is where we are headed at the moment. Chisora doesn't seem like he wants to stop.

    If Chisora refuses to stop, ok, put him in vs Dubois and let him get ko'd. I would rather watch Usyk-Parker and Dubois can fight the winner.

    I think we crossed the CTE damage line with Chisora long ago.

    According to this, Jalolov will face the Ukrainian Butterbean.

    I have given up on Jalolov. Unless Eddie Hearn or Frank Warren signs him soon and puts him on the Saudi cards, it is effectively over.

    Didn't top rank sign him? What happened with that?

    Arum has a history of not properly promoting ex Soviet fighters apparently.

    He simply hasn't given Jalolov any big fights. And i am not sure if Jalolov is even interested himself in stepping up.

    Fury has always been right about heavyweights only being relevant if they are from the USA or UK, if you are not then its hard to make money off of you.

    I don't know, the Klits did all right.

    I think it is a lack of imagination and talent by the promotors.
