    When Usyk steps up to Heavyweight will he gain his extra bulk naturally or take PEDs and will he go past 105 kg ?

    He only weighted 96.1 kg or 211lbs when he fought Joyce at heavyweight in the WSB and he looked soft at that weight. That was 5 years ago so he might of added some muscle since then but I doubt he goes much higher, maybe 100kg max. If he gets too big he'll lose his edge in speed and movement.

    He weighed 208lbs in the ring against Mchunu and 207lbs for the Michael Hunter fight.

    Tom Loeffler said that Usyk walks around at 220lbs

    ''He walks around at like 220 pounds, so that's a real possibility," Loeffler told Forbes.

    Issac Chamberlain (who has been in camp with him) said Usyk walks around at 100kgs (220lbs) and some other fighter whose name escapes me at the moment who has been in camp with Usyk also said he walks around at that weight.

    And Usyk's former trainer James Ali Bashir said he expects Usyk to come in about the 217lbs range when he moves up to HW.

    In Usyk's own words his heaviest weight ever (on some New Year's eve :lol:) was 102 kg. That's almost 225 lbs.

    He looked naturally "more solid" when he was fighting Bellew, I would have guessed him to have been near the 100kg mark in that fight.

    215. Unless he meets Jose Canseco, then he'll be 245 with veins thick as ropes.

    He'll be fine at 215....hasn't Wilder been 215 and very skinny for all his fights?

    He won't be eating potatos and chocolate bars. 215-220 sounds right.

    This. In all honesty 210-215 seems perfect. Anymore and I think his stamina and speed would start getting effected and those would be his best assets at heavyweight.

    No. Google him & the first weight you find will be 227. He has been around there for many fights, with the exception of one recent fight at 219. Though for 6' 7" this is light for a HW.
    He is only skinny for a HW. And the average person who is overweight.
    With the exception of his legs, which ARE skinny, even for an average person.

    Usyk is definitely going to need to speak to Clenelo, David Haye or Anthony Juiceua in order to gain weight in the right way.

    I know there are some wild boar and grass fed beef suppliers out there who are very sought after by professional atheletes.

    He still wants to maintain that speed. He needs to be able to gain the weight but not be flabby or carrying additional fat.

    Sadly he needs PED’s to really get up there in weight. He needs to Call Mayweather, Pac and Roy Jones Junior for advice.
