    He's got a right to a money fight so I fully expect to see Rico or WladKlit or whatever he can get.

    But after that, he has to get down to the business of mandos, unis, and top ten fights. His raison d'etre is that Usyk only wants the big fights now, so he was asked by the fans, and conceded to vacate the belts as not to hold up the division. Kabayel CANNOT now be the guy to hold up the division.

    Fight Rico and then on to Okolie (if he's not banned).

    Just a reality check on everyone's favourite victim, Bild's great German Hero Kebabyal.
    He is not young. He fought Chisora before AI was even being talked about.
    Since then he could have fought belt holders over the years but clearly dodged them all to protect his 0.
    The idea Fury, AJ, Wilder etc. would have avoided him is nonsense.
    He and his team were rewarded for dodging people by now being set up to be a fake champion. He was carefully positioned and here we are.
    He would have lost to the names mentioned and plenty of others.
    Povetkin would have beaten him easily and not-ancient Pulev probably beats him too.

    Ajagba would be a solid defensive unless his ZUFFA affilation makes it tricky..

    Meh. I tried to like Novitskyi but after watching his last fight I personally came to the conclusion that he's bang average/mediocre, with no noteworthy attributes.

    Jalolov was an outstanding amateur but looks poor as a pro. But I suppose it would be Ok considering his accolades in the amateurs, Interesting to see if he can ever adapt to the pros. But I'd expect Kabayel to go through him easily.

    Dubois never beat the man, but when he was the IBF title holder, he destroyed AJ who was rated number 3 in the world and he won the WBO belt by beating Wardley, who was a Top 3 guy too. Only lost to Usyk recently, so his claim is very strong.

    The same WBC that gave Glass Jaw Wilder four optional title defenses before he had to even consider a mandatory?
