How bad can it get? Well, it kind of depends on who fights Charles Martin first. If it’s Dominic "Trouble" Breazeale (17-0), it could get very bad because the former Olympian likely will beat Martin (who originally was the B side to fight Breazeale but then Glazkov’s team got the IBF to strip Fury). However, if it’s Carlos Takam, Lucas Browne, Alexander Ustinov, Dereck Chisora, Christian Hammer, or Robert Helenius, it gets a bit murkier. Joseph Parker probably won’t fight him and visa-versa.
Martin is in real trouble if he engages Joshua, Stiverne, Pulev, and/or Fedosov.. A duke with newcomer Louis Ortiz will not happen, nor will Povetkin, Haye, Wilder or Fury. That makes too much sense.
Speaking of David Haye, his slaughter of a completely overmatched Mark De Mori puts the Hayemaker back into an atypically large mix. Here is what Dillian Whyte has to say about the state of things: Boxing need with competitive fights???
"A sausage is good for two things: cooking and eating. That's what De Mori was," Whyte exclusively told Sky Sports. ""He would have got a good payday because he's fighting Haye, he was probably scared before he got in the ring. He showed symptoms in the fight that he was scared. ... The guy [Haye] fought was absolute rubbish. I was meant to fight De Mori early last year and he didn't want to fight."
A fight between Whyte and Martin would be intriguing and a great benchmark for Prince Charles assuming he wins. A fight with Hughie Fury translates to a large crowd and attendant nice payday.
There are interesting and marketable UK possibilities such as:
Joshua-Chisora
Haye-Whyte
Chisora-Whyte
Joshua-Haye
Bottom Line: Charles Martin, who has never faced a single legit top 10 opponent is in over his head and needs to devise an exit strategy that will maximize the most monetary reward with the least amount of risk. Names like Hammer, Ustinov, Ruiz, and Browne (depending on how he does against Chagaev) come to mind. Best strategy might be to get an “easy” one out of the way and then go for broke against Haye or Derrick Jennings. Step-aside money might come into play here but so what. Let’s clear up this mess so that the right fighters are at or near the top of the pyramid.
