    The IBF rankings have plenty of highly ranked heavyweights who are already tied up with other fights, including No. 3 Itauma, No. 4 Hrgović, No. 5 Joshua, No. 7 Fury, and No. 8 Wardley. Not to mention that some others, like No. 12 Vianello, are also rumored to have fights lined up. So, I picked the fighters who appear to have no upcoming bouts and looked at whether Sanchez could beat them for the vacant IBF heavyweight title.

    6. Bakhodir Jalolov
    9 Deontay Wilder
    10 Richard Riakporhe
    11 Richard Torrez Jr. (rematch)
    13 Justis Huni
    14 Efe Ajagba (rematch)
    15 Brandon Moore

    I like Jalolov the most out of the choices on the list. a new face and a chance to see if he can mix it up with top heavyweights outside of the amateurs.
