    they are: Tom Schwarz, Tony Yoka, Demsey McKean, Guido Vianello, Simon Kean

    What do you think guys?

    Simon Kean is a glass-jawed unskilled punching bag who will be stretched very quickly.

    All the others are beatable but will be step up in competition. Vianello is the best and toughest opponent on that list. However, he has scheduled fight against Makhmudov and if he succeeds, he may follow bigger paydays.

    He wastes all of them.

    I want to see him against a boxer in top 10.

    Yoka and Vianello are definitely the most interesting out of that list; I would love to see him put another nail in the coffin of Yoka's career.

    Makhmudov should club Vianello unconscious so he's probably out, the rest are ,opponents, the ones you fight on the way up.

    Yoka just fought in the UK yea? Maybe him. I think he could probably also KO Schwarz easily. Vianello isn't going to be ready in September after fighting Mahkmudov

    We wouldn't have anything against that fight, it would be good while it lasted, but Kabayel is too experienced at this moment...

    If I was his promoter I’d get him stateside and fight someone like Franklin jr

    It would be satisfying to see Itauma smashing the woman beater Schwarz...

    Too soon let him mature a little while he deepens his record with B- tier fighters for now.

    I know he is considered a great prospect but I'm still not convinced. He can smash journeymen, sure. But is he up to the task to take the fight to the likes of Usyk, Joshua, Fury, Parker, Zhang? I'm not sure.

    Time will tell, but lucky for Itauma he has plenty of time to help develop his skills in the pro game. He's only 10 fights in his career and isn't like he's headlining cards

    If he can make a statement and knockout the likes of h fury, Wardley or Chisora in his next 2-3 fights then that would be great!

    Yoka wants 4 fights this year, he is looking to rebuild himself. No way are they taking that fight.
