    Oleksandr Usyk's K2 promoter Alex Krassyuk has insisted Usyk won't step aside to allow Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury to happen for all four belts next year. He said they plan to beat Chisora, then push AJ to make WBO mandatory defence or vacate.
    I feel Usyk has as much chance of beating AJ as Fury does, does Usyk have a better defense than Fury, and is he a threat to the potential AJ v Fury bout?

    Father time is ticking and Usyk means business. He's not looking to get aged out. Joshua/Usyk is a great fight in it's own right. Either the fight happens or Joshua vacates the WBO. Not much more to it.

    I imagine the WBO will tell him he has to wait as they want the unification to take priority over his claim.

    They won't want to miss out on their slice of the huge pie that is Joshua Fury. He might get a shot at a vacant title whilst Fury and Joshua rematch but I very much doubt the WBO want to be the guy's guys who deny the world an undisputed champ for the first time since Lennox.

    Unification trumps mandatory so theyll have a job.

    Likelihood is after Chisora Usyk will need another 18 months to recover from various injuries so plenty time to fit a few fights in.

    AJ will lose the fight and then we have couple of rematches.

    AJ just shat his pants.

    AJ is tailor made for Usyk.

    Only question is how many rematches are going to be attached to this by Eddie? 2-3??

    Agreed. Usyk is 33 and it's time to for him to get the wheels in motion at HW. He's had a slow couple years since with the torn bicep and now covid. I would love to see Usyk-AJ. Great fight.

    Luckily unifications take precedence over mandatories

    Joshua sparks him out I think but if it came down to it I’d rather he vacate to fight Fury instead.

    I hope Usyk does scuttle AJ-Fury.
    If AJ takes two losses to Usyk, Hearn tries to steal the Ukrainian and all the talk will be about ''opening up the Eastern European marketplace''.

    Obviously he's going to say that.

    It's called negotiating your position.

    Not so sure that is true.

    Ramirez was going to face Taylor (assuming he wins his fight) but the WBO said he has to face some other schmuck.

    I`d prefer to see him fight the winner of Fury v AJ but only because that fight is bigger, I feel Usyk is harder to hit than both AJ and Fury.
