The only ones who are willing to fight anybody are Anthony Joshua and Alexander Povetkin. Only interesting fight this year Stiverne-Povetkin, and even that may not happen.

Light heavyweight is much better right now, with Ward-Kovalev, Chilemba-Gvozdyk, Barrera-Shabranskyy, and Smith-Hopkins coming up.

Cruiserweight has good fighters against each other: Lebedev-Gassiev, and Usyk-Glowacki recently. Hopefully Bellew won't avoid the very talented Breidis.



I admire your steadfastness on reporting about the division, though. Being a little optimistic, I'm hoping (chances aren't all that good) that guys like Wilder, AJ, and other up-and-coming heavyweights provide us with the types of fights we haven't seen for decades it seems like. Technically, Wilder isn't up-and-coming anymore.... but he's still a bit raw and needs to polish his skills, regardless of having a championship belt.
