Who're the next gen American heavyweights who will keep the US vs UK rivalry going?

[REDEEMER]

Conto, Anderson , Arias , Morrison .

It’s very slim pickings and long stretch of inactivity for some ,but if Mike Tyson comes in and replaces Wilder it would be more chance to win a title ,he is the better heavyweight in shape there’s no way around it but he won’t be around forever .

The U.K has way more longetivity , DDD , Fisher , Wardley , Foxx , Cunningham, Adeleye, Gorman , H.Fury .

Edit : Saying that Sonny Conto I see being in a world championship title fight for sure if I had a hunch so we do have an ace over here .

They are all in the NBA or NFL.

**** yeah I remember hearing good things about Conto a while back, but just checked his Boxrec and he's not fought in over two years, any idea what's going on with him?

He started his career in 2019 so that’s not even possible. He’s had 6 fights so far ,his last was a few months ago .

I think his fight was postponed because on the COVID thing.

The better question is what’s going on with Trey Morrison ?

Jared Anderson, Darmani Rock(if he can get in better shape) and a name to watch is Puerto Rican American Steven Torres


other than that we have guys who are 6'2 or shorter that might be too small for this ERA. Richard Torrez is a excellent Amateur but he is 6'2 and then after being Viciously Knocked out by Bakhodir Jalolov, not sure if he will ever be the same

Torrez is the one I've been looking at today, great talent, but like you say this ain't a good sign, specially if he's gonna go against the bigger Pro heavies. Would definitely suggest Torrez start as a Cruiser if he decides to go pro.

Found a coupla interviews with him from earlier this year saying a whole load of nothing much... 'hopefully', 'one day' yada, yada, but at 30 and having never really attempted to step up in the slightest I can't see him going anywhere. Might make a few $$$s off the name but I suspect that's about it.

The UK has Dubois and Adeleye who still have 10-15 yrs to give and I believe both will most likely end up as champs if they're managed the right way. Okolie isn't great and his style is boring but when he moves up - he'll be a handful with his reach/power, if he can take a punch and he's only 27.

So that's basically 3 Brits who would be in the top-5 or top-10 once the current champs retire in 3-5 yrs.

Who have the Americans got? This rivalry can't end with a total British domination and a good dance partner is needed.

Jared Anderson seems to be who top rank is grooming for the future. Darmani Roc is very skillful but I haven’t heard anything of him in a while. And there’s a young kid in philly, Sonny Conto, he’s on the rise.
