    Turki wanted a UK stadium fight, Dubious is only viable option outside of a Fury trilogy which nobody is keen on.

    Turki wants Turki gets.

    Won't be an easy sell out either Usyk Dubious

    Will be tough for Usyk to avoid the winner of Parker V Kabayel IMO.

    Its possible we could even see an Usyk V Dubois trilogy if Dubois wins but I'm defo backing Usyk to get the job done.

    Good way to end his career fighting the winner of AJ vs Fury.

    Itauma fight won't make any revenue, nobody knows him. I think Usyk will fight AJ and Fury for the 3rd time and retire. Because those are the most profitable fights.

    I would like to see Parker or Kabayal as his last fight. I don't want to see AJ or Fury again. They're history.

    Nah man, Chisora. That way he'll have done what no other Heavyweight before him ever did: Have a resume of nothing but British dudes... but twice.

    And Chazz Witherspoon, of course.

    Funny thing is, if Usyk has to rematch an opponent I'd almost rather it be Chisora. Least he actually won some part of their fight. Dubois would be the opponent Usyk had the easiest time with at heavyweight if not for Witherspoon... and even he at least made it to the end of the round before he quit :lol:

    Easy solution - make Fury and AJ fight and then Usyk fight the winner. I wouldn't have a problem with that.

    Ugh nobody wants the AJ or Fury "trilogy".

    Absolutely no interest in that.

    I think Parker should get a crack. Barring him, anybody other than somebody he has already fought. Hell, bring on Wilder.

    He might as well face Chisora.

    2 victories each over UKs top 4 HW fighters.

    Fighting AJ or Fury again does nothing for Usyk’s legacy. He’s already beaten both twice.

    He rounds out his heavyweight CV by beating Parker and Kabayel. Then why not finish his career with a fight against Opetaia, who will be the unified CW champ by then and will be hunting the straps at heavyweight?

    I genuinely believe Usyk's final 3 fights will be Dubois 2, then Chisora 2, then either Fury 3 or Joshua 3.

    Chisora is IBF mandatory, if/when Usyk beats Dubois again, he'll defend against Chisora because like Dubois, it's a low risk fight that will sell to UK casuals.
    Then depending on Fury's bipolar disorder and Joshua's ability / inability to stop getting beaten up, Usyk will cash out and do the trilogy against whichever one of them is available at the time.

    He's made it very clear he doesn't want to face any more new opponents, it's like Kabayel (his WBC mandatory) doesn't exist to him.

    He also personally likes Chisora, Fury and AJ, so he's essentially doing his mates a favour, the same way Fury did for Chisora by giving him the trilogy fight.
