Should be Parker vs Kabayel,, Not Parker vs Wardley respectfully

If he skips Kabayel he risks the WBA or IBF calling their mandatories. Pulev is defending the Regular belt against Gassiev, so that could be the WBA mandatory. And it appears Dubois vs Sanchez will determine the IBF mandatory.

So if the options are Kabayel, Pulev/Gassiev, or Dubois/Sanchez I think Kabayel is the easy choice.

Fantastic. Might need to get in the ring and call usyk out to get ball rolling

Usyk says he wants the Parker/Wardley winner next, which makes sense because Parker is the WBO mandatory and the WBO is up in the rotation.

The WBC should be next after the WBO, so in theory Usyk will have to fight Kabayel next if he beats the Parker/Wardley winner.
