    I'd like to see a few heavyweight fights. There's a rumor of Joyce-Yoka.

    Heavyweights I'd like to see on the card:

    Bakole
    Ajagba
    Hrgovic
    Chisora
    Torrez
    Anderson
    Kabayel

    It would be possible for Top Rank boxers to be on the card, because Warren and Arum are friends and sometimes work together.

    Won't happen, but Parker and Kabayel should fight right before Usyk and Dubois, with it announced in advance that the winner gets the winner. Then the two winners do a face-off at the end of the event.

    Daniel Lapin, maybe Hrgovic vs Sanchez. Also apparently Nick Ball will be on the card. Hopefully not against another super-bantamweight though.

    It's not confirmed I think just a standard defence against someone from the top 15 as preparation for a potential Inoue fight in December on a Riyadh Season show. I don't think the WBA will enforce the Cuello mandatory yet.

    Won't happen but I'd love to see Moses v Whyte. It's the perfect barometer for Ituama.

    Itauma should be on the card after destroying the American NFL bloke in a couple of rounds on Saturday.

    Crazy if he's not.

    He’s headlining a show after beating Balogun. I am guessing it will be against Nelson Hysa.

    Ok , thanks . Lets wait if nick ball will be there at all . Generally lets not expect a strong undercard for a weak main event

    Okolie says he wants to fight Kabayel or Bakole.

    I think Kabayel would be bad for him

    This i'd very much like to see too.

    And me NOT being a Whyte fan in any shape of form would like to see him sparked out one more time.


    I will say, though, Whyte IS always game when he's in the ring. So it would be a good honest step-up and test for Moses.

    Kabayel-Bakole would be amazing. Pure slug fest until one guy drops.

    Hysa is fighting Korte in June so he won't be Itauma's opponent, Bakole won't be his opponent either, maybe Hrgovic? but somehow I doubt that too.
