Kabayel / Itauma / Fabio make it happen! Someone's or a number of someone's 0 is going to go! Assuming Fabio beats DuBois.

maybe Danny if he beats Fabio

I wouldn't be putting him in with Fabio or Dubois just yet. Or Joshua for that matter.

But someone like Parker would be a great next step, and I believe he wins that pretty comfortably.

Wait a little with Itauma hype. His best win is Franklin or very shot Whyte.

Too early to predict he stops Kabayel or Wardley lol.

Itauma is a beast ! He will KTFO Usyk ! And he is only 21 ! Wow...
BTW Usyk turns 40 in january 2027.

Kabayel ?? He deserves his shot at Usyk more than anyone else.

He'd get flowers from me if he does.
Parker would be his toughest ask yet and would be up for it.
Wardley don't want that smoke!

Yup he's been waiting and should be next, at a worse case scenario it should be Wardley

Gassiev is the fight to make for Itauma, who would knock his static head off his shoulders to claim the WBA regular thing

If Oleksandr is as great as his fans claim, then Olek can do to Biblical Moses what Floyd did to Saul Santos

Good point, but facing someone who can step forward & reply with something potent would be a good next step. Itauma has fast hands, quiche reflexes and good feet, but Bakole would force him to manage distance a bit more wisely. Avoids developing the habit of lingering in range.

Basically the type of fight to help hardwire good habits & avoid getting caught by a lucky punch down the road. If he passes that test and continues to show boxing IQ, technique, speed, reflexes, smart aggression and power then he's ready for anyone.

"Quiche reflexes" is my favourite typo of the week. Everyone has a flan 'til they get punched in the face.
