Povetkin v Miller on the AJ undercard. They obviously want Miller as an AJ opponent at some point, so lets see how he can do against a faded Povetkin and give him some exposure to AJ fans.

Usyk v Povetkin is ok too but not if Usyk wants to test himself against big tall Heavyweights. or maybe he doesn't care about them being tall or short and he is fine either way. it's only really the fans saying he needs to be fighting taller guys, maybe he isn't even concerned with that.

Povetkin on AJ undercard isn’t a bad shout and seems a common theme for AJ previous fighters, obviously part of the deal Hearn offers (although possibly just an option for Hearn - using his AJ a side power?). Works in their interest to have a comeback fight in front of a big audience and is a extra selling point to have a decent hw undercard fighter for matchroom.

Parker’s promoter was salty that Hearn chose not to exercise his option to put Parker on the undercard of Whyte Chisora.

I’m cool with that fight. Rahman would love for his protege to beat Povetkin on a big card like that. A faded Rahman got crushed by Povetkin late in his career.

Good post. Povetkin vs Miller would be fun, Miller would be eating bombs for the first five rounds and probably get KTFO.. but IF his chin holds up it´s possible Povetkin runs completely out of steam late. Hearn would have to guarantee AJ fight before Miller agrees tho. As for Usyk, I really think he should fight a big boy. Duhaupas maybe, big durable guy with long reach?
