Kabayel missing from that list is sad. My wish is kabayel, itauma, hrgovic or fury. No way it will be itauma. Probably hrgovic? As i understand it, frank warren represents kabayel, itauma and dubois. So the best thing for warren would be to have title fights with dubois and None of the others, have kabayel get one of usyks belts because he doesnt defend them and then usyk retires and itauma gets another one. Then you get a lot of fights for the belts among all your fighters. Maximum money.
I'd rule out Itauma, Warren hasn't seemed enthusiastic about the idea. Understandable, he manages both fighters and is intelligently developing Itauma. Moses is 21 years old and in a couple of fights at most, we'll see him fight for a title, but I don't think it will be against Dubois, I see a fight against Gassiev as more likely for Itauma. Hrgovic is the 2th in the WBO ranking (although we know rankings don't matter much), and a rematch between him and Dubois would be interesting. I'd also be interested in a Dubois-Kabayel or Dubois-Fury fight, but the German and the Gipsy King have different paths.
Kabayel so this absurd ''second best heavyweight in the world'' hype train can finally be derailed. come-forward one-dimensional brawler vs Dubois = decisive Dubois victory Kabayel needs to step up as Fabio did back to back so why isn't this guy who has already been crowned by many?
Kabayel is far from a one-dimensional brawler; he beat Chisora by boxing off the back foot. He comes forward and tenderises his opponents to the body because it works, but he has much more in his locker.
Dubois would be a heavy favorite but both guys like to whack. Even though Dubois would probably KO him, Dubois' defense is leaky. Would be a fun (short) fight, imo. Adeleye wants that fight, btw.
If it wasn't a world title fight then I could see it happening as a tune-up. My guess is that Dubois will take a fairly soft touch still for his next fight thats in the WBO rankings. Eg - Anderson, Riakporhe, Hysa.
