I think there's a majority consensus it should be Parker or Kabayel. I prefer Parker but I'm a bit one bias. Bit of a catch 22 for Usyk unless he plans on having a few more fights. Assuming he has one more and fights Parker, well the Kabayel fans are going to feel like he was ducked. If he uses that last fight to scrap Kabayel then Parker and his fans (me included) are gonna feel a way about that. Thing is, I don't think either one brings enough interest to the general public to get them to tune in in big numbers. I reckon that's what Turki is after and he signs the cheques. So it'll be someone with a higher profile I'm guessing, particularly if Usyk decides it's his last fight.
If Usyk wins and will only have one more fight, I would want a Parker-Kabayel eliminator to decide his challenger. My hope is that he faces both and then retires. In that case he will have done as good a job cleaning out the HW division as the CW one.
Parker and Kabayel are the two fighters most deserving of a world title shot. If Usyk beats Dubois again (I think the Ukrainian is the clear favorite, but anything can happen in boxing) I hope to see him against Kabayel, in my opinion that would be the most interesting fight at heavyweight.
C'mon. man. This is just sour grapes because you said that Uysk was cashing out against Joshua, you ridiculed those of us where were "waiting for Usyk to be the savior of the division," you criticized his cruiserweight title tournament competition, you picked Fury to bully him due to size, and overall, you thought Wilder would rule the division. Get on the right side of things before it's too late. Your opportunity to appreciate greatness is almost up.
He's only fighting one more time then retiring (by his own admission), it's probably going to be biggest money/smallest risk.
He should drop back down to cruiser and become undisputed. Show them boys what midget power is all about.
Kabayel himself dismisses the Parker fight because they are both in position for the world title fight. Nobody wants to become Joe Joyce again.
In order of personal preference, for me: Parker Kabayel Itauma Gassiev II/Hunter II Chisora II/Joshua III/Fury III (no more rehashing with Brits, damn it! )
He'll probably fight the man who will generate the greatest revenue: Tyson Fury. Probably Fury will challenge Parker and beat him. Then it will be Usyk vs Fury 3.
