What happens this weekend will shape heavyweight boxing.



The options are plenty and the promotional money is there.


Hrogivc vs. Dubois for the IBF title. The winner will likey get AJ in lar 2024 or 2025

Zhang vs. Wilder. The winner will likely get Usyk in 2025.

Parker and Kabayel are on deck, maybe they will fight each other for a mandatory or wait until the dust settles.

Anderson is the great American hope, and might sneak in If/When Wilder loses for a title shot too...he's is bankable, but needs to stay clear of the law.


Boxing is a great sport when the money is there to make great fights, isn't it?

Isn't Jared vs Deontay still booked for Aug IF Wilder wins? That always seemed like a huge if to me & unlikely to happen cuz who the hell fights two big fights in 2mos these days, but supposedly its tentatively booked last I heard. Unless I missed some news obviously.

[N/A]

What happens this weekend is a big move in the Heavyweight division and it is good. Still, there are (the main factor) the Saudis (for which reason I no longer count those hounds the promoters), the Fury-Usyk rematch and Joshua. Of course, the outcomes of June 1st are important. Still, because of the Saudis and the fact that boxing is indeed prizefighting, we can only assume what will happen, because we don't know how those three fights will end and who Anthony "The New Breed of Heavyweight-not-a-12-rounds-fighter Brown Panths Primadonna" will face. I think it is too early to predict anything and that is fine, it brought back that thrill and we know for sure that no matter the outcomes, there are 2 to 4 top fights (maybe even more) upcoming by the end of 2025.

I believe the Saudi victories one achieves in this sport are becoming the only meaningful ones they are what we all want and what IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO, and WBC can't deliver. Along with The Ring and The Undisputed, they are all not worth anything because of the lack of principles, they are altogether making it actually harder to define the real top, including the best boxer.

Hrgovic - Dubois is not for IBF title

I don`t expect Zhang - Wilder winner to get a shot on usyk either

If usyk wins Fury rematch, he will likely fight Parker.

Joshua vs Fury / Usyk is the original plan .

Joshua - Usyk 3 makes zero sense and nobody wants to see it.

I think Usyk beats Fury again and than ifghts Parker. Meantime, Joshua cna fight Hrgovic - Dubos winner for vacant IBF title next year.

Iw was reported rhat all belts will likely be on the line for the rematch.

Do you actually expect IBF to strip Usyk for Dubois -Hrgovic fight, lol? Why would they do that? Fury - usyk rematch is a huge fight, everybody want to be involved.

Wilder vs Fury trilogy didn’t make sense either but ?

Usyk vs Joshua were actually very close fights despite most reluctantly choosing to ignore that reality , Hrgovic, Joshua and Usyk are the 3 top guys I’ve been telling you guys that for well over a year now but Usyk vs Joshua is the biggest fight out there they are the actual two top guys , Hrgovic vs Joshua is a great fight to only the hardcore fans I actually think that’s a 50/50 fight and I believe Joshua would stop Usyk in a third fight .
