Let's derive it. Frank Warren says that Agit will fight a "top ten" guy. So let's figure it out through process of elimination: Current Ring Magazine top ten, plus champ: Usyk Dubois Kabayel Fury Hrgovic Wardley Sanchez Ajagba, Itauma Gassiev Huni WBC top ten... Fury Okolie Itauma Hrogic Joshua Sanchez Wardley Wilder Verhouvan Ajagba Combine all names on the list and you get... Usyk Dubois Kabayel Fury Hrgovic Wardley Sanchez Ajagba, Itauma Gassiev Huni Wardley Wilder Verhouvan Ajagba Okolie Joshua We can definitely eliminate: Usyk- vacated the title because he don't like the fight Dubois- WBO champ, going to fight Wardley Kabayel- can fight himself Fury Hrgovic- IBF champ, just fought Wardley- going to fight Dubois Sanchez- in line to fight Hrgovic, and already lost to Agit Ajagba Itauma- Just lost Gassiev- WBA champ, no mention of unification and negotiating with Miller Huni Wardley- going to fight Dubois Wilder Verhouvan Okolie Joshua- negotiating with Fury That leaves us with: Fury Ajagba Huni Wilder Verhouvan Okolie We can probably eliminate... Fury- mentioned Kabayel's name as alternative, but is still probably negotiating Joshua Ajagba Huni Wilder- Already lost to Kabayel, and negotiating with Usyk Verhouvan- rumors are he priced himself out, and talking of fighting another kickboxer Okolie- Seems to be on PEDS bust That leaves is with: Ajagba Huni Of these two, I would say.... Ajagba- Zuffa fighter and thus not available, Huni And so, in my opinion, barring a black swan, Kabayel will be defending against... JUSTIS HUNI I could also see... Parker being brought in as a "top ten" of somebody's list, Miller getting the fight because his manager was lobbying for it, and he is "top ten" in WBA, Fury announcing he is giving up on Joshua Verhouvan came to terms They threw a ton of money at Gassiev for a uni Okolie beat his PEDs bust But my prediction will be Justis Huni.
Huni is a good fighter, just poorly promoted and he seems a tad lazy, never in shape but if he did come in on a full camp and prepared and it went 12 rounds good chance he'd win on points. He fought Wardley on like 4 or 5 weeks notice and won every second of the first 9 rounds.
