    His manager said he wants to fight in April or early May.

    We can forget #7 Gvozdyk because he's fighting Gonzalez.
    #8 Dominic Boesel has a fight coming very soon.
    Same for #9 Stieglitz & #10 Broadhurst.

    Marcus Browne? Joe Smith Jr? Mike Lee? Jean Pascal?

    Are you not aware that Sulliman just pulled out of a title eliminator fight with Beterbiev and that he will most likely be suspended by the IBF?

    Sulliman is completely out of the picture.

    Beterbiev will most likely be granted mandatory challenger status by the IBF soon. He will fight a stay busy fight in april or may and fight Ward or for the vacant IBF title in septembre.

    Hes gone down the list and no one is particularly interested in fighting him.

    Cant blame them. Hes a destroyer and you wont even get paid well for taking your beating

    Whom ever he fights will end up a badly beaten victim...it's time for Beterbiev to be guided to a title shot...
    He's the Sonny Liston of the lightheavyweight division.

    Smith Jr or Pascal would be cool, though Pascal is kinda done he would still be a step up from recent comp. Really want to see this dude tested

    Do you think a Chechen Muslim would get a fair crack in pro-Kovalev Russia? Expect a 'failed' drugs tests or something of that nature.

    Beterbiev just has to stay in North America/Canada and carry on knocking these guys out so he can retain and climb his ranking and eventually someone like a champion will be forced to fight him or vacate.

    Since boxers will now know that they will be getting paid 40k for fighting Beterbiev, those top 10 guys won't even answer the phone if it says "From IBF" on it.

    My man Pascal has the most balls out of everyone at 175 rounds . The word "Fear" does not exist in his vocabulary . He went to war , not once but 2x against the number 1 LHW in the world today Kovalev. Took a beating both times but was still competitive. Pascal would definitely fight Beterbiev . Trust me , he iz that brave.
