    Seeing people posting about potential upcoming fights at HW, and the talk of a Saudi HW league got me thinking about the next potential big Day of Reckoning card...what about the following?! Assuming Fury and Usyk are tied up fighting rematches etc...

    Joshua vs Hrgovic - main event for IBF belt. Both fought and won on first event. Hearn wants it next.

    Zhang vs Parker - For WBO belt. Was apparently offered for the first event, so clearly Saudis interested.

    Wilder vs Sanchez - someone said Finkel was already working on this?

    Dubois vs Ajagba - someone else mentioned this. Sounds like a great fight on paper.

    Ruiz vs Joyce - apparently Ruiz signed with Warren, so easy to make. Was in Saudi for first event.

    Anderson vs Miller - battle of the Big Babies! US heavyweight battle. Just my own invention!

    Probably Itauma in some kind of lower end fight, apparently he was maybe gonna be on the first event too, so that's why I suggest that.

    Anyway - the above is just a fantasy card, but very makable and not outside the realms of possibility if indeed the Saudis wanna stay in the HW business, and make that international league they have been talking about. Would also comport with some of the (very) vague rumblings other posters have posited.

    Who would you fancy in these match ups?

    Sanchez has faster hands and feet than Parker, potentially more power, and better defense. I don't like this fight for Sanchez he could dominate 11 rounds then get caught with a shot Parker also got caught with but lose because he doesn't have Parker chin. Doesn't seem fair.

    Charr cashing in his WBA regular belt ...otherwise it's going to be years, decades perhaps, of him sitting on it.

    Zhang-Kabayel

    So when Usyk and Fury have the Undisputed fight the IBF belt will be stripped from the winner if they go ahead with a rematch which opens the back door for Hrgovic to fight Joshua for the vacant belt stripped from the Undisputed Champion. What a joke especially if the winner of the Undisputed fight does not retire. If the winner does retire then all the belts will be up for grabs which will bring a lot of interest back to the division I suppose . Zhang v Parker would be an interesting fight also Kabayel deserves to be in the mix as would Dubois,Anderson,Sanchez certainly some good possible match ups.

    The Saudi's had a boat load of cash ready to make AJ Wilder for March which has now fell through

    Problem is there isn't really a big fight to make in till fury Usyk plays out

    I would replace Ajadba with Kabayel. He deserves another big opportunity and would present a trickier test for Dubois than Ajagba would.

    As for Ajagba, I would put him against Jared Anderson instead.

    And I'd put Sanchez vs Joyce and Wilder vs Whyte fights on this card as well.

    Any combination of Zhang, Ruiz, Parker and Bakole facing each other would be good, even Ruiz - Parker rematch.

    Joshua - Hrgovic should headline the card of course

    AJ vs Hrgovic - for IBF. Great main event I'd favour AJ due to Hrgovic behaving a habit of being complacent at time leaving is chin out and open.

    Zhang vs Parker - I think Parker is all wrong stylistically for Zhang and Parker stops Zhang in the mid to late rounds.

    Wilder vs Sanchez? No that's a mismatch. Sanchez would make easy work of overrated hype job. Good mover, very sound technically is Sanchez.

    I much rather see Kabayel (who actually has a better career win than Wilder) vs Sanchez. I'd favour Sanchez to win that.

    Dubois vs Ajagba - I would heavily favour Dubois to win this easily. Dubois vs Anderson would be a more competitive fight.

    It isn't remotely, which is why I absolutely adore the idea of this fight.:D

    First two are good fights. No way Wilders team puts him in with a live body unless it is for a title. highly doubt ruiz vs joyce would happen. anderson vs miller is pointless.
