Britons Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are heavyweight superstars who have dominated the global stage for the better part of the past decade.
Joshua, 34, and Fury, 35, may still be two of the top athletes in their division, but the former world champions won't be around forever.
With both men seemingly nearing the end of their illustrious careers, which British fighters could follow in their footsteps? Who has the potential to make a name for themselves in the future?
Boxing commentator Steve Bunce, former lightweight world champion turned trainer Anthony Crolla from Manchester and former light-middleweight world champion Hannah Rankin from Scotland share their thoughts.
Is IBF champion Dubois the obvious choice?

Vance: “My pick is IBF world champion Daniel Dubois. Even if he loses to Joshua in September he is still the third best British heavyweight at the moment.”
“Dubois is an old guy. He suffered a shocking loss to Joe Joyce and an amusingly embarrassing defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. He then had back-to-back wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic, but both were underwhelming. So there's a good chance he could beat AJ.”
Crawler: “A Dubois win against Joshua would not be a major upset. He is already one of the best heavyweights in the world and at just 26 years old, he has the potential to become a megastar and transcend the sport.”
Rankin: “The question marks in Dubois' mind and aspirations after his loss to Joyce have disappeared. He used to be very shy but has become a lot more confident as a person. He is on his way to being a superstar.”
Can the 19-year-old Itauma live up to expectations?

Rankin: “I would pick Moses Itauma as Britain's next heavyweight star. He is strong, fit and technically very good. Being a southpaw at heavyweight also gives him an advantage. He is part of Frank Warren's Queensberry Club so has good training.”
Crawler: “Itauma is also a favourite of mine. I've been watching him since before he turned professional. He's so good I'd be even more surprised if he doesn't win a world title, but it all depends on how soon he moves on.”
“His movement and shot selection are great, and he has a great boxing IQ for a kid who's so laid back. His power is only going to get better.”
Vance: “Four of his last five fights have been decided in the first round. But what happens when his opponent starts fighting back? Itauma is completely inexperienced. This is not a criticism, it's just a fact. But the testimonials from sparring in the gym with a guy like Fury have generally been overwhelming. And this is not because of hype. What my sparring partners have said to me off-air is downright amazing.”
Could Clark or Wardley make it to world level?

Crawler: “The first fight between Fabio Wardley and Fraser Clark was incredible. The winner of the rematch will face a top 15 fighter, but Clark is 32 and time is of the essence so he may have to be moved a little sooner.”
Rankin: “Clark, an Olympic bronze medallist, has had a great amateur career but his body is so worn down that it's unclear how well he will perform as a professional.”
“I really like Wardley because he's a fighter who comes from a white-collar background. He still has a lot to learn in professional boxing, but once he gets going he's explosive.”
Vance: “Both Clarke and Wardley have shown maturity in this draw. Clarke has the stamina and ability to take the fight and show he can box when he has to box.”
“Wardley also had a great win over David Adeleye, who was a dangerous fight against a dangerous, hard-hitting puncher.
“I don't think Clark, Wardley and Adeleye will have a clear winner no matter how many times they play each other. Each of them can win, lose or draw.”
Is fan favorite Fisher the real deal?

Vance: “I know he's not the kind of player who excites the crowds yet, but I'm a big Johnny Fisher fan. He's 25 years old and has the age advantage, but he's also bigger, smarter and better educated. His fight with Alen Babich will be huge. Apparently they sold 4,000 tickets just for that.”
Crawler: “Fisher is still learning on the job but if he can get to world level, with his support he could take fans to the US and Saudi Arabia. He has a great trainer in Mark Tibbs.”
Rankin: “Fisher's fan base is a testament to his father, who has spent time selling tickets and promoting him. It's hard not to love Fischer. He may not have the same skill set as Itauma or Dubois, but he's getting better with every game and there's no denying that.”
Who else is participating?

Vance: “Solomon Dacres, who will face Adeleye on July 20, is a clever bloke who uses his brains and his boxing skills and Hughie Fury is still going strong – it's hard to believe he's only 29.”
“I have to give an honourable mention to the British Olympic team's Delicious Ollie. Forget his name and the fact that he's always smiling. I know what he's been through in the gym and in his short boxing career. Believe me, he'll be in the running in a year's time, no matter what happens in Paris.”
Rankin: “I'm really looking forward to seeing Aurier in Paris, but it's still early days. Aurier may want to stay and run again at the next Olympics, so anything can happen.”
Crawler: “Ollie ticks all the boxes but they have a young fighter in Damar Thomas in the British team who might have come a little too early for the Olympics. He's definitely a player to watch and a great talent.”
