Hmmm, yea

Article mentions one of the 5 fights this year will be with a "genuine giant".... Do we think they are talking Ustinov type standard, or Julius Long no-risk "check-the-box" sort of fight?

Probably closer to Julius Long standard but possibly an unknown Eastern European with an embellished record to make it marketable back here, just my guess.

You're probably right- actually thought this guy would likely show up on their target list soon, along the lines of Costa: 6 ft 7 1/2 Romanian, Has a number 15 ranking with WBO (via a regional belt) but his opponents' on average had more losses than wins...

I was thinking the same thing! He's the type of guy who they'll be able to bring down to NZ as well. Could see him in July in Invercargill maybe? Also, he lives in Vegas so no doubt KB knows him or his trainer to help negotiate..

Kingpin would have troubled him!! I predict Parker will fight a top ten guy this year who is name recognizable. That's the giant! Ustinov too dangerous for little reward, as he's not top 10. Julius Long too easy.
