Matt Christie: The most deserving is Joseph Parker, but he’ll now need to get through Dubois to get his chance. Certainly, the winner of that bout will have earned their spot. Zhilei Zhang and Agit Kabayel are set to collide in another eliminator, as are Martin Bakole and Efe Ajagba, with the victors being additional viable challengers.

After such an incredible run, believable threats to Usyk's heavyweight throne are slim, however, the Ukrainian's promoter, Alex Krassyuk, has the perfect next opponent in mind for his fighter's next bout.
