Personally very much looking forwards to the rises of both Daniel Dubois (🏴), who allegedly knocked out AJ in sparring, and Evgeny Romanov (🇷🇺), who allegedly knocked out Wilder at amateur level.
Alen Babic (🇭🇷) vs Filip Hrgović (🇭🇷) is also an exciting prospective fight. The countrymen have both spoken about each other recently, and the fight looks almost inevitable.
Both unbeaten currently, it will be interesting to see which style will prevail.
Oleksandr Usyk (🇺🇦) looks set to take on Anthony Joshua (🏴) after his clash with Derek Chisora, whenver that happens.
The Ukrainian backs himself to compete with the biggest depsite his size and cruiserweight background.
Despite losing to Alexander Povetkin (🇷🇺), Dillian Whyte (🏴) has always backed himself to knock out Deyontay Wilder (🇺🇸), and claimed he was ducking him.
After both complete their rematches against Povetkin and Fury, could we see these two clash at last?

Arsenal look like a very promising side and have come a long way since Mikel Arteta took over. They were just a few subtle but effective tweeks away from causing Liverpool some major issues at Anfield.
A Thread 👇
The transition between pressing and reverting to a deep block is something that's clearly been worked on to counter the top teams such as Liverpool and City, and is something that Arsenal do extremely effectively in most cases.
The front line puts pressure on the opposing defense and drops in to help out the midfield duo if they're being overwhelmed. Lacazette's presence in the team provides them with an out ball and a source to build their counter attacks. We saw again yesterday these can be crucial.
Here's what PSG need to win the UEFA Champions League (THREAD):
1. A good defensive coach. There's no doubting PSGs attacking prowess, Neymar and Mbappe are 2 of the best attacking players in world football. They're good enough to essentially be told "do what you want" and still be effective. If a defensive coach came in, they get freedom.
If they had a solid foundation of defensive ability- that includes tireless midfielders and stable defenders- it gives them a proper base on which they can thrive with their attackers. Goals are garunteed, if they can stop as many goals as possible, they'll be a real force.
