    Since it's his 1st HW fight and he needs to get used to the weight it's ok. But if Usyk starts fighting Fury's level of opposition then he should just go back to cruserweight.

    Usyk taking the Tyson Fury approach: Fight nobodies, collect paycheck like a *****.

    I've seen almost every potential opponent picked at by detractors. Lol these dudes just don't like Usyk and are threatened by his presence at HW. Well.... Get used to it. Otherwise there will be a ton of sleepless nights ahead.

    Fighting the best all the time doesn't work for everyone.
    It worked for Wladimir or Lewis, but look what happened to AJ. Boom and it's ovah

    It's not his first heavyweight fight. This will be his seventh.

    It's his first heavyweight fight this year.

    Jarrell Miller - dont sleep on Spong, Spong gives miller problems in sparring with power and stamina

    Spong hits very hard, and has a good chance to beat Usyk, either way it will be a good fight

    Usyk better not overlook Spong

    I like the fight. Spong is somewhat of an unknown quantity (as is Usyk at HW) so it def holds some intrigue.

    Yeah thats true Spong was overtaken by Ngannou but spong threw an unsupported punch so not a fair comparison
