I can see a bit of a race between AJ and Parker for the IBF belt.
AJ is rated higher in the IBF and is fighting Chisora who is IBF #15, which will bump him up toward a mandatory.
AJ has also previously stated he wants to go British, Commonwealth, European then World.
Once he beats Chisora, Teper/Helenius is in the way for the Euro belt. If he wins that, he's mandatory.
If JP fights Takam (#10 v #9), he might be able to skip past and go to #2 while the others are fighting for the Euro, and if there's any delays or injuries he may get a mandatory shot first. Probably comes down to politics and backroom dealings.
Either way, it puts AJ and JP on a collision course, which has probably been forced quicker than either team would have wanted.
The IBF lolly-scramble will be interesting...
