      Crucial fight for both guys. Winner keeps himself very much relevant.

        But you can't see any of these guys defeating the elite bunch including: Joshua, Ortiz Wilder or Fury. This is one of those fights that could be enjoyable to watch but won't bring anything new to the heavyweight division.

          This can be one of the best HW scraps this year. Both of these guys like to throw down.
          Winner should get another shot at one of the belts.

            Solid fight. Pulev needs to win impressively if he wants to reenter the top ranks of the division.

              Del Boy has reached his ceiling. He's good, but not good enough to beat the best.

              Pulev though is much better than he looked against Wlad. He'll still be kicking himself for letting K2's mind games get to him and squaring up to Wlad like he was fighting in a toughman contest.

              I think he'll go back to the cagey boxing against Chisora and probably beat him on points.

                Winner of this fight takes on the winner of the other IBF eliminator. Takam vs joseph parker. Both good matchups & regardless of who wins these respective fights the final eliminator would be a good fight too. Some good matchups coming in the division

                  This is a good fight. The heavyweight division is starting to get some depth again.

                    This will end badly for delboy, you can tell his heart is not in the game anymore, he's just there for one last big pay day, which is fair enough i guess.
                    Pulev by UD or late stoppage.
