Heavyweight Division

I heard Joe Joyce vs Dillian Whyte & Richard Riakphore vs Lawrence Okolie were in the works.

Whyte has pulled out with an injury.

[bart]

Joyce has already pulled out of his other scheduled fight also
Bakole to save the show...
Be interesting to see if anyone relevant steps up ...Joyce would be a good name to have on your record and looks past his best

Kabayel comes to mind, but it's a fight he won't risk against JJ. Wilder, if he's still looking for a fight? I'd love for Bakole/JJ to fight instead of Ajagba.

[bart]

Is there enough upside for Bakole?
He may want to reestablish his ranking and JJ not highly ranked these days.
Kabaybel would prob see it as low reward and still a potential risk (although Kabaybel should be huge fave)

Not sure Frank would put Itauma in with JJ as he has never gone rounds and JJ still could push him into late rounds which may backfire.
Jared Anderson
Frank Sanchez
Jermaine Franklin
Jarell Miller
Andy Ruiz

[diehard]

That's a good selection bart. All five wood be good, although I'd prefer Anderson, Sanchez, or Ruiz for the action piece of it. In any order. Yeah, no way Itauma gets in there against JJ.

[bart]

Hygovic.... being mentioned
Good scrap Hygovic is skilled but never rose to his potential
50/50

[diehard]

Hrgovic would be good. He's been put out to pasture, as has JJ. A win by either one could put them back in the picture.
