Oleksandr Usyk is vacating his IBF title!

We have a clear, undisputed, unified heavyweight champion there’s no taking that away from Usyk

So regardless if belts are taken away or not… we have crowned THE unified champion; one that is clear-cut and without question THE best heavyweight and THE one and ONLY Champion that anyone should recognize as HW champion, from this point forward

regardless of what Fury or Joshua, or anyone else does….
until he’s beaten, USYK is the champion

The unification serve a tremendous purpose. It took away the value of all the belts as individual “pieces” of the championship. The championship is no longer consisting of separate pieces. We now have a champion. ONE Champion

 

Yeah, Fury cares or will care.

Ever notice how often Fury strenuously tells all and sundry, in specific detail, about ALL the things he doesn’t care about?

Not actually caring is a state of being, not a constant stream of false self narratives. Doth protest too much.....?

 

None of that matters. By Fury's standards (and even moreso those of cult Fury) Usyk is now LINEAL. He can go **** off for 5 years, come back and beat up a trans social worker and claim another 5 years.

 

The world loves strong

Very feel

 

Until someone beats him, Usyk is the only champion that matters.

 

Meh. No worries. Let Joshua and Dubois (Both Usyk victims) fight for their little participation trophy. We all know who the champ is. And The Champ has other business to tend to.

When The Cat’s Away The Mice Will Play

And besides… Didn’t Lewis vacate the WBA fairly quick after beating Evander the 2nd time? If I remember correctly he did.

 

He was stripped due to Don King's shenanigans and Ruiz ducking him. He vacated the IBF belt tho.

 

Hopefully this makes Usyk seriously consider moving back down to cruiserweight. A clash between him and Jai would be fireworks.

 

Fury will beat Usyk and the Joshua will beat Fury and defend his title to hand picked opponents for 10 years like Wlad.
It's the cycle of life.

 

Good One Uysk.

 

Usyk moving back to cruiser after the Fury rematch is a possibility, win or lose. He's already said not too long ago he doesn't like putting on the weight for heavy. The IBF had been acting like they weren't going to strip him.

 

So the rematch will be a non title bout, low risk big reward for Usyk, nice one.

 

Well his other titles will be on the line

Not that it matters because Fury & Usyk will retire afterwards

Fury can fight AJ Dubious winner which is a walkover fight if he wants undisputed following a Usyk rematch. I don't see either caring for a trilogy even at 1-1.

 

Yeah because that has stopped Fury before...
