    Bakole and Ajagba should have a rematch.

    My guess is that Okolie is going to be out for a while with that torn bicep. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is out for the rest of the year.

    Whyte is 37, hasn't looked great in like 5+ years, and his punch resistance isn't great (horrible vs uppercuts, he has an off button on the bottom of his chin apparently).

    I hope Whyte makes a fight of it and proves me wrong.

    Good point yeah, forgot about that.

    Will probably come back to some horrific tune-up fight as well due to his injury.

    Lawrence Okolie was talking up a fight with Kabayel in September or October, but his recent injury means that won't happen this year. My guess is we'll see Kabayel in against some borderline no hoper to stay active.

    The Ajagba-Sanchez rematch was ordered by the IBF to determine a mandatory last I heard.

    Anderson is supposedly gonna be fighting Jarrell Miller on the Canelo-Crawford undercard, presumably to determine who has the rights to the "Big Baby" name going forward.

    Bakole has most recently been seen being called a fat **** by Derek Chisora. No idea what fight he has planned next, but I couldn't not mention that :sisi1

    Torrez will likely be put in with a soft touch after the mediocre performance last time out.

    Zhang has been recovering from surgery and apparently got back into camp for a fight in May, though they still haven't worked out who it'll be with. Personally I hope they find a way to go the WBA route. He's already fought for mandatory status with the other three organizations, why not go for a full set :lol:

    Kabayel should take the money and fight Klitschko, he will never see that money again, wont beat Usyk, and Wlak K is 49.

    Not much news about the heavyweights since the Usyk-Dubois fight.

    I'd like to see more fights scheduled for the fall.

    Kabayel is smart enough not to throw away his career and pride for this money since of course the contract would include for kabayel to take it very easy to make klitschko look good .

    You believe klitschko wants to enter the ring to show his fans how he kisses the canvas hard in maximum two rounds in an open bout ?

    Hopefully that'll be his first decent fight in Germany... He's had a lot of nothing fights there.

    Genuinely, I hope that's against someone half decent and not another Euro level journeyman like the procession he fought after Chisora.

    You got beef with the owners or something?

    Sounds like commercial espionage - that'd bankrupt any all you can eat :risas3:
