    Anybody knows how Brendan Moore vs Bryant Jennings fight went? And if Michael Hunter fought like he was supposed to?

    - Umut Camkiran (25-0, 23 KOs) will fight Mourad Aliev (15-1, 11 KOs) on November 7, 2026 in Istanbul, Turkey. It will be for the WBC Silver title and streamed on DAZN.

    - Frank Warren said today he will announce Agit Kabayel's upcoming fight next week, and that it will be in a stadium in Germany and Kabayel will be fighting somebody in the "top ten".

    - Aleksei Dronov is scheduled for an 8 round fight on October 2 in Florida vs TBA. Good to see he's remaining active.

    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- mentione 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
    Okolie beat his PEDs bust

    But my prediction will be Justis Huni.

    Maybe, but let's not forget, old Fish Eyes is not always honest. He said "top ten" but it might be someone who is ranked lower.

    Examples of Fish Eyes lying:

    "Itauma had a leg injury"
    "Fury won both fights with Usyk and was robbed"
    "Usyk was hit by a legal blow by Dubois, should have been a knockout win"

    We'll know next week, if he's being honest about that.

    Man, even I forgot about that!

    I was thinking the guy who was outboxed by Wallin. But yes, Dimentrenko did beat him first.

    Wow! Apparently Hunter DID have a fight the other night...2-6-2 Efrain Carranza Gonzales!

    TKO2

    Well, at least he's out there. I would not be surprised if it somehow ended up being a no-contest or exhibition.

    I was sort of on it too lol, thought he'd at least get to Wallin's level.

    The other guy from that era who was a complete bust who I wasn't, but a lot of people were on his hype train, was Izu Ugonoh.

    Man these 2 flopped hard lol.
