Usyk to retire?

That doesn’t look like jealousy to me and Lewis certainly has nothing to be jealous about.

It looks like one legend giving advice to another.

 

That was really funny

Usyk said prior to Dubois 2 that he had two more fights left, so given he is a reliable character I assume he has one more fight. Probably vs the Parker-Wardley winner at age 39, older than Ring/unified champ Wlad was when he beat Jennings.

 

He does seem to be a cool dude, amplified by the language barrier he comes across as pretty funny.

Emily Blunt is smokin’ hot.

 

What the hell kind of lazy clickbait is this? Postulating that Usyk might retire (and making people who just see your title in passing mistakenly think it's based on something he said) just because of some crap Lewis was talking?

 

Accreditation to Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

 

I believe he already walked that back and says that he doesn't know how many.

He has been studying grappling since before boxing, and I really think he want's to have a low level MMA fight or two to show that off, so there is a chance the next could be the last....but I don't think even he is sure about anything at this juncture.

 

Lewis might be saying that because it’s obviously making him real uncomfy watching Usyk dominate in the fashion he has at HW while winning over English fans more than he did

And the difference is… if Usyk retires now, he can GENUINELY say he has nothing more to prove and has beaten everyone in his way.

While Lennox “THE LION” weaseled out of a Vitali Rematch. Then blamed it on his mom “Wanting him to stop boxing”

 

Then please tell me, why do you think he doesn't get retired and did a face off with Jake Paul in the ring after Dubois fight?

 

Yeah exactly, I think that was an off the cuff comment that got repeated so much that he had to walk it back.

Personally I think that Usyk loves fighting, and is trying to work out if he still has it, the drive and motivation for the hard camps and the fights, and whether his body will stick with him.

Also he is trying to see how much fulfillment he will get in retirement by going on what seems to be a mini-retirement tour, public appearances, singing at concerts, charity soccer matches, movies etc.

My guess is that he lives the sport too much to give it up, and will start getting itchy for another fight once he sees the heavyweights fighting later this year, Parker, Wardley, Dubois, Itauma, Kabayel, he will start thinking "i can beat those guys"

 

Smokin' hot, and generally awesome as well. Love me some Emily.

 

To be honest who is left for Usyk to fight. AJ twice, Fury, DD Twice, Wilder is done. Zhang's losses have reduced his credibility as a top contender. Hgrovich - same.
So that leaves Parker, if he gets past Wadley, and Kabayel - 1 more and call it a career would make sense who really is going to be a threat or bring the $$ to the table.
Bakole?? No chance, Torrezz jnr??? No chance

 

He is quite likely to retire soon. He's 39 in January.

He could just carry on though, until he's 45 or 48, and lose a bunch of fights.

 

Well, he is continuing fighting, because he wants more money. It doesn't matter if his opponents are bigger in size or not. The man is paid $50M per fight, and he will continue fighting as long as he can.

Look at old and retired boxers, they want to come back to boxing because they need money.

Money is the most important thing. Krasyyuk, Lewis and others advise Usyk to retire because they're just jealous he's paid $50M per fight.

With the money he’ll earn from each fight, he could buy a hundred apartments in the most luxurious neighborhoods. It would be madness to turn down such an opportunity. And clearly, Usyk has no intention of missing this chance. Unlike those romantic boxing fans who wants him to "hang the gloves", Usyk is a very smart man.
