    For those following Francis signed with the PFL for MMA but he's still hoping for a big name boxing fight in 2023 but recently admitted he'll start with a tune-up. After all the hype even the tune-up will likely need to be somewhat of a name, maybe Dillian Whyte also a guy with a semi-MMA background?

    Can you really call it a tune up? Whyte or Chisora would be serious acid tests that he would likely fail. Either would be fine.... and very likely puts an end to the talk of superfights with Fury, Joshua and Wilder.

    Browne, Babic, Washington, Kownacki, Charles Martin. Not all at the same time.

    In a way - yes. He was mid-level MMA fighter at best, but high profile on PEDs. Since they talk so much about his power, then I'd like to see him in a boxing fight against some top 15 guy, just to show how pathetic his cardio, technique and ring IQ are. Plus, he talks about fighting the big names straight, so one-two "warm-up" fights are good - Hrgovic, Sanchez, Makhmudov can give him a good lesson.
