    Oleksandr Usyk - Retire.
    Anthony Joshua - N/A (Fury if he ever decides to fight again)

    Tyson Fury vs Agit Kabayel WBC World Title (Dusseldorf Germany, back to the scene of the Klitschko crime over a decade on)

    Fabio Wardley vs Deontay Wilder WBO World Title (I need to see carnage, 0 boxing on display just wild swings from both)

    Moses Itauma vs Lenier Pero VACANT WBA World Title (Hopefully Moses breaks his jaw, 4 ribs, and gives Pero a permanent limp in his right leg)

    Derek Chisora vs Murat Gassiev WBA Regular World Title (A winnable World Title fight for Delboy to bow out on)

    Jarred Anderson vs Frank Sanchez VACANT IBF World Title (Makes sense ranking wise)

    Joe Joyce vs Tony Yoka (Gold medal rematch between two sausages)

    Lawrence Okolie vs Richard Riakphore (Battle of the bums)

    Guido Vianello vs Bakhodir Jalolov (Solid test for Jalolov)

    Martin Bakole vs Jarrell Miller (Both come in heavy as possible please and slug)

    Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker (The fight we never got)

    Efe Ajagba vs Arslanbek Makhmudov (Both got ranking, winner gets to move on)

    Dave Allen vs Jeamie TKV BRITISH TITLE (Sells in Sheffield and id like to see Dave Allen get a final chance at the British)

    Richard Torrez vs Dainer Pero (Winner breaks into the bigger picture) / Filip Hrgovic vs Richard Torrez (Good fight for both at this stage)

    Hughie Fury vs Back Acne (30 year long rivalry needs finishing)

    Andy Ruiz vs Zhilei Zhang (Good return fight for Andy, another good fight for Zhang to be a part of and gas out in after 10 minutes)

    Why would you want the best HW in the world to retire?

    You want a generational talent to retire. Fail on the opening sentence.



    The rest of the world wants Fury.

    They are actually very close, but Kabayel said he would if Tyson wanted it. Thing is, no way Fury wants it.

    Wilder is shot, and will be more shot (if possible) after Usyk

    ??????? Gassiev is the regular champion, and would either be elevated or allowed to fight for the belt. There is no stand alone "super championship" to fight for. It is definitionally when someone unifies the WBA belt with another. Itauma has already run from that fight, so....

    Or for Gassiev. Punchers have an advantage over swarmers.

    Why would anyone want to watch this for entertainment purposes? Explain.

    Both should retire. You think Usyk should retire and want to see these guys fight?

    Why would anyone want to watch this for entertainment purposes? Explain.

    Given that Vianello has challenged himself and grown, he could win this.

    Sure, why not? Wouldn't go so far as to say that I "want" to see this, but sure, why not?

    After Dubois did him dirty? I guess it makes a kind of sense, but if Parker is back, he should be rematching Wardley since the stoppage was at least semi-dodgy. Dubois doesn't need to jump the queue.

    Sure, why not?

    Fun fight if you are British.

    Torrez is negotiating for the Sanchez fight for the IBF eliminator. If he wins he will be waiting on a shot.


    Ruiz should beat someone before he gets another chance at a ranked opponent.

    So here are mine:

    Usyk-Kabayel
    Wardley-Parker rematch
    Fury-Joshua
    Gassiev- Chisora, Miller, or Ruiz
    Itauma-Hrgovic
    Dubois-Hrgovic rematch.

    Dubois-Hrgovic rematch
    Ruiz Jr.- Gassiev
    AJ - Fury
    Wardley - Kabayel
    Wilder - Joke Paul

    Usyk can do whatever he wants but I'd like to see him against the winner of Kabayel-Wardley.

    A bit embarrasing to suggest Anderson and Sanchez should fight for the title.
