So what's next for Wardley? Is Usyk really going to fight Wilder? What about Dubois, Hrgovic, Ajagba, Bakole, and the others?
the ball is in Usyks court he can do whatever he wants. But hopefully Wardley is next. Dubois and Hrgovic should rematch. I think Hrgovic probably takes it and avenges his only professional loss providing a non-corrupt ref is involved. Ajagba should fight Torrez jr or rematch Bakole. Bakole if he doesn't fight Ajagba? Gassiev might be a good matchup.
Wardley takes a soft touch, Usyk destroys what's left of Wilder and Dubois waits and takes on the weakest champion after Usyk retires.
Usyk's matches are going to go increasingly to the performative. Maybe Ruiz after Wilder. He will keep only the IBF belt. Wardley will take a soft touch and rematch Parker when the latter's troubles are over. Parker wins and it goes to trilogy. Kabeyal is elevated to full champ when Usyk gives up the WBC. Kabayel-Okolie is on, with Agit easily winning. The winner of Gassiev-Ituam is promoted to full WBA champ when Usyk surrenders that belt. Fury-AJ is on. 50/50 fight leaning maybe half a percentage point to AJ due to Fury no longer being able to get in shape.
Theres currently 3 active belts. Right now the top HWs are like a flock of seagulls waiting for those 3 fights to happen and for the next 3 chances to open up. Some fighters in the flock might fight but they won't fight other.
The promoters seem slow to make heavyweight fights this year so far. Dubois, Wardley, Bakole, Jalolov, Anderson, Hrgovic, Riakporhe, Ajagba, Vianello, Zhang, Torrez Jr., and many others should have a fight scheduled by now. There are MANY interesting matchups that could be made.
I am changing my answer. Usyk has said that he will not drop any more belts, and Klimis has said that they like what they saw in Germany. I think Kabayel is next, followed by Wilder if he beats Chisora. However, I don't think he beats Chisora, so maybe Ruiz gets the performative American fight later in the year.
Never ever unless kabayel agrees to not throw any bodyshots . Usyk ducked kabayel to now fight kabayel ? I think its just the noise from team usyk , not a honest intention
I wonder if Turki and pals are getting bored of boxing. There could be a great HW card made. Loads of potential good matchups .
