    That would be tragic. He still looks great though, and should be able to cautiously dismantle them.

    What about a fight against Opetaia by the end of the year if he's ready and maybe beats Ramirez along the way?

    This guy is giving me anxiety! He needs to just retire and avoid some freak loss to his next opponent. He already achieved so much. Record is pristine and undefeated.

    Beating 2 solid opponents in title fights and retiring with a clean 25-0 record really doesn't sound too shabby. A great way for him to retire on top. Very doable for him to achieve.

    Can't hate on that. Nothing left to do but lose. Don't let them catch you sleeping bro. Good luck on the final 2.


    This dude will always be the man who became undisputed champion and proceeded to give a post fight interview he forced into being about his sons' judo. Transcendent, he is already immortal.

    I want to see him fight Jai Opetaia before he retires. Opetaia is the most skilled operator at HW (well, CW) besides Usyk.

    I'd prefer Kabayel and Parker over Zhang and Dubois. Parker because he's someone new, and Dubois lost every round and quit off a jab, and Kabayel because he's got a bit of craft and Usyk would run rings around slow ass Cillit Bang.

    To be honest Uysk has the power to hurt Dubois as well we saw it first time.

    No, Dubious just exhausted himself out.

    Just what I was thinking.I genuinely believe him when he says he’ll retire after 2 fights.He’s a very honest guy.

    I respect usyk but i think his resume is still weak . 7 hw fights , 5 opponents and not that much quality with witherspoon , chisora and pre prime dubois but nevertheless the very questionable win against him .

    Wins over aj and fury on the other hand deserve respect .

    You can also see on the weak undercards whrn he fights that usyk is not a blockbuster .

    Winner of Parker v Dubios then drop down to cruiser for one last hurrah against Opetaia would be a good finish.

    100%, that would be the preferred match ups for me too.

    I think Parker is as skilled as Opetaia and at the HW he would beat him.

    Could Usyk vs Opetaia be compared to Holmes vs Spinks ? an aging Heavyweight champion taking on a younger fighter moving up in weight at the end of his reign ?

    And if Opetaia somehow pulled off the victory would it be better than Spinks beating Holmes ?
