No chance will they offer it to Tischenko or Egorov - they are the future of the CW division
They won't wanna be offering it to Cieslak or Papin too, they are strong fighters . Gassiev has moved to to HW. Ive heard Opetai and Light are good, Mchunu is still decent.
3 Dilan Prasovic
9 Nikolai Milacic
12 Artur Mann
13. Richard Riakporhe
15. Juergen Uldedaj
I predict it will be one of them! ^

Dilan Prasovic and Nikolai Milacic got that typical high inflated undeserved WBO rating without having beaten anybody, extremely padded records.

It’s been offered to Cieslak. He’s meant to have a bit of a tickover fight this Saturday so we’ll see what happens.
Decent fight if it comes off.

It's not gonna be for the WBO belt anway..
Hearn basically asking who's ready, to DM him.

If it’s someone from the top 15 then they still may let it be for the vacant title on the proviso the winner has to defend against Glowacki.
The WBO will be wanting to get some money from it too!

So it can potentially be for the vacant WBO title.

If it isn't for the championship, the opponent will probably be some complete noname.

Hmmm - disagree. If they can find someone in the top 15 to take the fight I’d be surprised if the WBO don’t sanction it for the title. They’ll want to get some money in the bank too.

Riakporhe is managed by Dillian Whyte, right? If he’s not signed with Matchroom I’ve definitely seen him fight on Matchroom cards anyway.
That would be a decent all-British scrap for a world title. Or do you think Eddie would want to keep that in the bag for later (If Okolie wins) to try and plug as a main event/PPV of its own?

Riakporhe is a big boy, might not be able to do the weight in time without crashing it. Would be a good replacement though for sure.
