We all know that Usyk is going to have a handful more fights now.

I wouldn't mind seeing him retire after Parker.

If he beats Parker he would have 7 world title wins at Heavyweight beating multiple top 5 ranked Heavyweights.

It would easily put him in the top 10 Heavyweights of all time IMO.

 

Usyk looked like a fully fledged HW tonight, really tuned himself to perfection. He's made some really great adaptations to almost every element of his boxing to adapt to HW life.

He didn't even have to show that nuclear engine he has....that was for the Fury fights.

Sure he's lost a little bit of his edgyness

But he can't be bullied anymore

Parker gets battered

There is only one man that Usyk has to keep his eye on who brings excitement to his life and he knows it. The man who can find a way. The batman. The Gypsy King. Tyson Fury.

You fight all your life to get into position to make the big money. Why retire when you get there?

 

I'd love to see him fight Parker, maybe one more, then even potentially retire with Fury. I mean, there's no need to fight Fury again after two wins but he seems keen himself. It would have been good if AJ beat Dubious and it was AJ he beat tonight, just to have that name on his ledger. He's building a very impressive heavyweight resume and his consistency is brilliant.

 

Chisora rematch is next for Usyk. Chisora is his IBF mandatory, it’s a very easy fight for him and an easy sell to UK casuals.

Then Fury trilogy. And possibly Joshua trilogy if he’s still in the sport.

I honestly do not believe Usyk ever fights Parker or Kabayel because it’s only hardcore boxing fans who are screaming for those fights, the casuals (who make up the majority of the revenue) do not care.

Usyk has no incentive to take any risks against new opponents, when he has 3 lucrative paydays lined up against known opponents (Chisora, Fury, AJ).

 

@catchwtboxing gotta admit your threads debunking all the pro-Dubious narratives were spot on. Full props man.

 

A trilogy is only of any value if the first two fights were split.

Fighting Fury or AJ a third time is pointless.

Usyk has plenty of cash now. He doesn’t need to taint his legacy by beating up guys he has already done away with a couple of times each.

 

Making over £100 million for an easy nights work is pretty tempting.

Parker, Kabayel, Hrgovic, Wardley will just be men on his record if Usyk keeps going and hopefully so as I love watching him fight.

 

Hope so.

Especially since the three lined up - Wardley, Kabayel and Parker - are all Frank Warren fighters, and it'll be good to see him keep disappointing ol' Brick Top
