    Good news, hope Usyk is getting some big figures from this.

    Signed a truly great talent in world boxing. I'm not sure he's well known enough States-side to impact on DAZN subscriptions just yet, though...

    Bellew, Ledbedev, Briedis 2, Okolie, Yarde, WBSS series 2 winner in the future... good signing for both sides. Usyk doesnt need to try to be a heavyweight, hes got plenty of huge fights in the pipeline as a Cruiserweight superstar and is a big enough name to simply fight both Joshua and Wilder straight from the cruiserweight world champion position.

    Fair play to Eddie Hearn and Matchroom a big signing. Should mean the Bellew fight is a foregone conclusion now.

    Usyk said: "I'm thrilled that K2 Promotions will be working with Matchroom Boxing moving forward to secure me the biggest fights out there.

    So not a Matchroom signing as such?

    This is to set up the eventual AJ fight.
    Good business decision.

    Hearn is a role model for every business man. This is just GREAT.

    Usyk has chin, speed and boxing ability. No way in hell AJ ever goes near him.

    Hearn has overpaid Usyk to get him on DAZN. Plain and simple. Usyk is a great fighter but he clearly isn't a draw in any country at all. No US TV network cares about him at all. He brings nothing to the party and Hearn is just peppering DAZN with even more **** that nobody in the US is even remotely interested in. How many more $10 US subscriptions do you think this will drive? ROTFL.

    You all feel free to keep sucking his dick for it though LOL.

    Yes it’s similar to the Ortiz deal where all Eddie did was arrange a platform for Ortiz to have his fights. Venues and broadcaster. That’s all. Also I’m sceptical Hearn has made this deal to keep Usyk away from Joshua.

    You're right — this is a co promotion deal.

    No way in hell is AJ going to be afraid of Usyk.

    Usyk is a skilled boxer but a ****ing 6'6" 250lb monster isn't going to be ****ing SCARED of a cruiserweight who doesn't even punch hard.
