Usyk wants to fight three more years until he is 40!

“Yes, of course, I am going to continue boxing. Maybe up to three more years,”...“My motivation for fighting is discipline, family and fans. I appreciate the support of the people and the Ukrainian soldiers. This is my motivation. We are capable of more with good work. … My biggest win is yet to come. It will happen when my soul is delivered to paradise.

Fury again? Hrgovic? Parker? Joshua 3? Wilder?

I can't wait!

Also...

“I respect Tyson Fury. I respect all of my opponents. I respect people. If an opponent talks bad words, it's their problem, not mine."

 

Hopefully he fights more than once a year. I love Usyk but he seems to take long breaks between fights.

 

He is fighting once per year, so not a problem

 

what a stark contrast in spirit between these 2 guys. both profess belief in themselves and God, but only one seems to understand what saying all that means. i know which one i would rather have raising my grandkids.

 

A guy like Usyk could easily keep going until he is 40

 

Can't judge him too much because of the war situation, but it seems like a dumb move if he can choose otherwise. His speed is a major asset at HW and he might get KO'd by an inferior opponent if he slows too much, which would be a shame.
He's saying this assuming he beats Fury x2 as well, we'll see what happens if he doesn't.

 

Wondering how many boxers can pull a George Foreman

 

40 is the new 32

 

Was’nt Usyk hinting in an interview yesterday that he could move back to Cruiserweight.

To be fair he was waiting around for AJ and Fury for a good bit

 

If he gets $10M per fight, and if he fights once a year, it means $30M. If he gives half of it away to his promoter,.employees etc, he will have $15M. It'll allow him to live like a king in the rest of his life.

 

I've seen this yesterday, but it sounded as serious as when he said he would fight Canelo because 'why not'. There's nothing for him in cruiserweight. He still have more good fights to make as a heavyweight. I'd like to see him against Zhang, Parker, Sanchez and maybe Hrgovic or Kabayel. Wilder is irrelevant, Usyk would school him even worse than Parker schooled him anyway.

 

He ain't fighting 3 more years. Zero chance of this. He is saying for obvious reasons.
He is going to fight Fury 2, and then retire or 1 more match.

Still win/lose he doesn't need to fight AJ, as he already done it twice already.

Brits are pathetic with pushing that AJ trilogy.
You can push a trilogy, if it's 1-1 or 2-0, but a close competitive fights, which was absolutely not the case. Both fights were clear 9-3, 9-3. 8-4 at very worst.
And yeah AJ obviously going to be improved, but Usyk is obviously going to be in a huge decline. Big difference being 35 and 38.

 

He has commitment to his craft and has discipline. He can probably pull it off but if I was him, I wouldn't go past 40. Usyk doesn't have the size, functional strength, and power of Foreman to come to his rescue.

 

Seeing how good and fast 36 year old Loma looked, gives me hope that Usyk can keep going for another 2 years near his prime
