When do you all think it will happen .? Will usyk have one fight at heavyweight then fight joshua or will we wait til 2020
I think 2020, or at least I hope so. I want to see Usyk have some fights at heavyweight first to get used to the weight. I want him built up as a serious threat. Maybe beat Bellew, then an easier first fight at heavyweight then maybe Povetkin in late 2019. If he beats Povetkin then it's on with Joshua in 2020.
Who he faces as his first heavyweight opponent will be interesting. I can’t see him wasting time with a pushover. Povetkin is an interesting one. Very dangerous though. Ortiz perhaps, which is still quite dangerous. The loser of Whyte/Chisora is a strong possibility.
So Usyk signed a 3 fight deal with Hearn didn't he?? He has to have at least one fight at heavyweight first to build that shiz.
