Well he is the no.1 mandatory challenger..

Hopefully the WBO will give Korobov/Lee a voluntary defence. So gennady can come a collect another belt to his collection.

Saunders can wait he has done nothing of note anyway.

All three are quite ordinary. Maybe Lee or Korobov can create some buzz tomorrow night but they'll have to significantly improve on their recent performances to do it.

Mando's usually take priority over mando defenses....but WBO might be against that since they stripped Pirog when he tried to unify with GGG
