It only makes sense to go for the more proven guy here. Itauma’s stamina has not been tested at all and Kabayel is certainly someone that can sap it out, and early.
Usyk has dropped two heavyweight titles. He doesn't care too much about belts at this point. I wouldn't be surprised to see him drop the WBC belt, with the aim to create a mini-Queensberry of sorts, with Kabayel, Itauma, Okolie and Dubois. Wilder is a low risk, high reward fight. Should he be victorious, Usyk will wait it out for an Itauma unification bout or a final fight with Fury to end his career. I just realized that I completely went off topic from the thread. As of today - Kabayel. I think we will see this fight later in the year. Maybe for the WBC belt.
Kabayel hated Smakici's handspeed and power.. I don't think Kabayels chin would hold up to Itaumas super fast powerful punches
